Abstract |
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) propagate inflammatory reactions that result from allergen exposure in asthma. Montelukast, a CysLT type-1 receptor antagonist, disrupts mediator-receptor interactions and minimizes inflammatory response. In this study, we have evaluated anti-asthmatic efficacy of inhalable montelukast-loaded large porous particulate formulations in ovalbumin-induced rat airway inflammation model that mimics asthma. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 April 2016.
All research outputs
#13,714,297
of 22,757,541 outputs
Outputs from Pharmaceutical Research
#2,131
of 2,855 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#114,712
of 228,185 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pharmaceutical Research
#17
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,757,541 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,855 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 228,185 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
