1 Oxidative renal damage in pyelonephritic rats is ameliorated by montelukast, a selective leukotriene CysLT1 receptor antagonist. montelukast cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 The present study aimed to investigate the possible protective effect of montelukast, a selective antagonist of cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (leukotriene CysLT1), against Escherichia coli-induced oxidative injury and scarring in renal tissue. montelukast cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 Leukotriene CysLT1 receptor antagonist montelukast reversed all these biochemical indices, as well as histopathological alterations, that were induced by acute pyelonephritis. montelukast cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
4 It seems likely that montelukast protects kidney tissue by inhibiting neutrophil infiltration, balancing oxidant-antioxidant status, and regulating the generation of inflammatory mediators suggesting a future role for leukotriene CysLT1 receptor antagonists in the treatment of pyelonephritis. montelukast cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
