What is the source of histamine?
Action?
Mast cells, basophils, platelets
Vasodilation, INC vascular permeability, endothelial activation
What is the source of PGs?
Action?
Mast cells, leukocytes
Vasodilation, pain fever
What is the source of LTs?
Action?
Mast cells, leukocytes
Inc vascular permeability, chemotaxis, leukocyte adhesion and activation
What is the source of cytokines?
Action?
Macrophages, endothelial cells
Local: endothelial activation
Systemic: fever, metabolic abnormalities, hypotension (shock)
What is the source of PAF?
Action?
Leukocytes, mast cells
Vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, leukocyte adhesion, chemotaxis, oxidative burst, de granulation
