Abstract
Bone formation and bone resorption can be influenced by different inflammatory factors, such as the products from Arachidonic Acid (AA) metabolism. In this context, the AA products metabolized by 5-lipoxigenase (5-LO), such as the leukotrienes LTB4 and CysLT, have a resorptive effect, since they stimulate the increase of osteoclastogenesis. This study aim to analyze the role of 5-lipoxyge…
