leukotriene receptor antagonist — one of a class of drugs that prevent the action of leukotrienes by blocking their receptors on cell membranes, such as those in the airways. These drugs are used in the management of asthma for their effects in relaxing the smooth muscle of the… … The new mediacal dictionary

Antagonist — In biochemistry, an antagonist acts against and blocks an action. For example, insulin lowers the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood, whereas another hormone called glucagon raises it; therefore, insulin and glucagon are antagonists. An… … Medical dictionary
Leukotriene antagonist — A leukotriene antagonist is a hormone antagonist acting upon leukotrienes.It has been demonstrated that leukotrienes are implicated in bronchoconstriction and in the inflammatory cascade leading to asthma. Leukotriene modifiers are an important… … Wikipedia
Cholecystokinin antagonist — A Cholecystokinin antagonist is a specific type of receptor antagonist which blocks the receptor sites for the peptide hormone Cholecystokinin (CCK). There are two subtypes of this receptor known at present, defined as CCKA and CCKB (also called… … Wikipedia
Corticotropin releasing hormone antagonist — A Corticotropin releasing hormone antagonist is a specific type of receptor antagonist which blocks the receptor sites for Corticotropin releasing hormone (also known as Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF)), blocking therefore the consequent… … Wikipedia
