Macrophage ferritin and iron deposition in the rat air pouch model of inflammatory synovitis.

Macrophage ferritin and iron deposition in the rat air pouch model of inflammatory synovitis.

Using a rat air pouch model of red cell promoted allergic inflammation, we have investigated the relation between ferritin synthesis and iron deposition in pouch wall lining cells. These cells have structural and immunohistochemical similarities to human synovial intimal cells and studies of them are pertinent to the clinical situation. In control air pouch wall tissue after single or double an...

The Impact of Gender on the Inflammatory Parameters and Angiogenesis in the Rat Air Pouch Model of Inflammation

Objective(s) Air pouch is a well-established inflammatory model in which fluid extravasations; leukocyte migration, angiogenesis and other parameters involved in the inflammatory response can be measured. In this study, the influence of gender on inflammatory parameters has been examined in the air pouch model. Materials and Methods To induce air pouch, adult male and female Wistar rats were...

Inhibitory effects of oxytocin on the inflammatory parameters and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the rat air pouch model of inflammation

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of oxytocin on the angiogenesis and inflammatory parameters in air pouch model of inflammation. Methods: Inflammation was induced by injection of carrageenan into pouches in male Wistar rats. Oxytocin (4.25, 8.5 and 17 μg) was administered intra pouch at the same time as the carrageenan and then for 2 consecutive days. Af...
