title: Inhibition of galactosamine induced edemas in the rat by drugs preventing macromolecular leakage from the hamster cheek pouch microvasculature.
abstract: We have shown that terbutaline and dimethpyrindene, 2 drugs which prevent macromolecular leakage in the in vivo--bio-assay of Hamster Cheek Pouch, either by direct action onendothelial cells or by blocking histamine receptors at the microvascular leakage sites, can also prevent macromolecular leakage in vivo in 2 different models of generalized edema.
