Kinins
What inflammatory mediators are chemotactic (direct migrations of WBC)?
LTB4 (neutrophils)
petptidoleukotreines (eosinophils)
What inflammatory mediators cause fever?
PGEs
What inflammatory mediators cause airway constriction= bronchoconstriction?
Histamine
peptido leukotrienes
kinins
PGD2
What inflammatory mediators cause hypotension (shock)?
Kinins
Histamine
What does histamine do?
redness heat swelling airway constriction NOT chemotaxis
What do PGE2 and PGI2 do?
Increase vascular permeability
vasodilate
cause pain
What do PGD2 and thromboxane do?
vasoconstriction
What does TXA2 do?
platelet aggregation
vasoconstriction
What does PGI2 do?
Oppose platelet aggregation
vasodilation
What does LTB4 do?
Chemotactic (PMNs)
reduces paint threshold
What do peptidoleukotrienes do?
bronchoconstriction
increased vascular permeability
chemotaxis
What do kinins do?
EVERYTHING
strong vasodilator–> HYPOTENSION
