Recent Developments in the Pharmacology of Inflammatory Mediators: Proceedings of an International Symposium held in Rotterdam, under auspices of the Dutch Society for Physiology and Pharmacology, in November 1976: Agents and Actions Supplements, cartea 2

Opening remarks.- Involvement of mediators in the interaction of platelets and carrageenan.- Platelets and mediators in the carrageenin rat paw oedema.- Comparison of the mediator release from platelets and the development of acute inflammation in rats which lack prostaglandin precursors.- Glucocorticoid effect on the prostaglandin system in adipose tissue.- Effect of glucocorticosteroids on the release of prostaglandin-like substances in anaphylaxis.- Effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on the carrageenin-induced hind paw inflammation of rats deprived of endogenous precursors of prostaglandins.- Metyrapone: A possible tool in investigating the role of endogenous corticosteroids in inflammation.- Prostaglandins and complement changes in some conditions related to inflammation.- Involvement of complement and kinins in some non-immunogenie paw inflammations in rats.- Inflammatory responses of the rabbit eye to prostaglandins.- Some biochemical complexities of inflammatory disease affecting drug action.- Inflammation inhibiting properties of rat alpha-foetoprotein (rat-alpha2-macroglobulin), an acute phase reactant.- Biodistribution of salicylates: A clue to the understanding of some effects and side-effects.
