Prostaglandin production by a mild inflammatory lesion in sheep.
نویسندگان
چکیده
By implanting a Teflon chamber subcutaneously into a sheep a mild aseptic inflammatory lesion was produced from which wound fluid could be sampled daily. The prostaglandin content of this wound fluid was examined. Prostaglandin E2 activity was found in all samples, and a peak was apparent on the fourth or fifth day after producing the lesion. The amount of prostaglandin activity appeared to be unrelated to the total number of polymorphs in the fluid or to the volume of this exudate.

Tartrazine and the prostaglandin system.
The effect of tartrazine on prostaglandin production was evaluated in several in vitro systems in order to elucidate the interrelationship between aspirin-sensitive asthma and tartrazine. Unlike the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, tartrazine did not inhibit cyclooxygenase activity in sheep seminal vesicles, guinea pig lung microsomes, and human platelets. Tartrazine had no effect on the a...

Background: Bone resorption is one of the main features of inflammatory periapical lesions and is mainly mediated by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factoralpha (TNF-α) and prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2). Recent investigations of these lesions revealed that pharmacological modulation may be possible. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ibuprofen on IL-1β, TNF-α an...

We examined changes in the levels of eicosanoids in blood and pulmonary lymph of anesthetized sheep undergoing acute anaphylaxis. Within 1-3 min of intravenous antigenic challenge of previously sensitized sheep, there were approximately 7-30-fold elevations in mean arterial plasma levels of thromboxane B2 and 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha, respectively, as measured by RIA. Negligible changes in ...
متن کاملPseudohypericin is necessary for the light-activated inhibition of prostaglandin E2 pathways by a 4 component system mimicking an Hypericum perforatum fraction.
Hypericum perforatum (Hp) has been used medicinally to treat a variety of conditions including mild-to-moderate depression. Recently, several anti-inflammatory activities of Hp have been reported. An ethanol extract of Hp was fractionated with the guidance of an anti-inflammatory bioassay (lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced prostaglandin E2 production (PGE2)), and four constituents were identifie...
