Pharmacology of Inflammation Flashcards
increase vascular permeability, bronchoconstriction
leukotrienes
prostaglandins class
lipid mediators
increased extracellularly during injury: anti-inflammatory, inhibit cytokine action
adenosine
glucocorticoids cellular source
adrenal cortex
bradykinin cellular source
endothelial cells
bradykinin class
peptide
Oxygen-derived free radicals class
superoxide, hydroxy radicals
vasodilation, pain, fever, platelet aggregation (via thromboxane)
prostaglandins
cell adhesion molecules mechanism
contact molecules, calcium dependent
prostaglandins mechanism
activation of specific GPCRs
adenosine cellular source
all cells
leukotrienes mechanism
activation of GPCRs
glucocorticoids class
lipid mediators
prostaglandins cellular source
virtually all cells
complement system cellular source
synthesized by liver, circulate in blood
C-reactive protein class
plasma proteins
Histamine cellular source
mast cells, basophils
