Schematic diagram of the mechanism depicting the disturbed homeostasis response caused by activation of 5-LOX. When 5-LOX enzyme becomes activated consequent to different environmental factors, this leads to the production of leukotrienes and subsequent receptor activation that can cause an inflammatory response and the induction of cascades leading ultimately to neurodegenerative disorders.
