Study Notes
Cells Producing Mediators of Acute Inflammation
- Leukocytes (neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells) and endothelial cells produce mediators of acute inflammation.
Production of Plasma-Derived Mediators
- Plasma-derived mediators are mainly produced in the liver.
Preformed Mediators
- Histamine and serotonin are stored as preformed molecules in cells.
Activation of Plasma-Derived Mediators
- Plasma-derived mediators must be activated by enzymes to become active.
Other Cells Involved in Mediator Production
- Platelets and epithelial cells are involved in producing mediators of acute inflammation to a lesser extent.
