Abstract
The swelling and capillary hyperpermeability of the mouse foot in response to an injection of formaldehyde, and the increased capillary permeability to an intradermal injection of histamine, have been investigated. Cortisone, mepyramine and sodium salicylate were effective in reducing histamine-induced inflammation, sodium salicylate being less active in the adrenalectomized animal. In formaldehyde-induced inflammation, however, cortisone was ineffective whereas sodium salicylate was effective in the intact mouse, but not in the adrenalectomized animal. Certain aryloxypropionates and anti-esterases were also active in reducing the severity of the formaldehyde-induced inflammation.
