title: [Influence of carrageenin inflammation on prostaglandin release from rat synovial membrane and action of anti-inflammatory drugs (author's transl)].
abstract: Carrageenin was injected into the knee joint cavity of rats, and influence of anti-inflammatory drugs on prostaglandin (PG) release in vitro from inflamed synovial membrane was studied. Release of PGE and F from inflamed synovial membrane was increased. Aspirin suppressed PGE and F release from non-inflamed and inflamed synovial membrane in vivo and in vitro, but suppression of PGF release was more intense. Hydrocortisone suppressed release of PGE and F from inflamed synovial membrane in vivo, and did not influence PG release in vitro. Release of PGE and F fron non-inflamed synovial membrane was not influenced by hydrocortisone in vivo and in vitro. PGE content in inflamed synovial membrane was increased markedly, and PGE and F content in inflamed and non-inflamed synovial membrane was decreased markedly by aspirin in vivo. Content of PGE and F in non-inflamed and inflamed synovial membrane showed a tendency to decrease with hydrocortisone administration in vivo, but such was not significant.
