title: [The influence in the rat of counter-irritation by turpentine on the leukocyte content of exudates induced by sponge implants].
abstract: In normal rats, PGE1, arachidonic acid, indomethacin and diclofenac did not modify the leucocyte content of sponge exudates withdrawn 4 hours after implantation while arachidonic acid increased the level in PGE2 and indomethacin reduced it. The leucocyte content of sponges exudates withdrawn 18 hours after implantation was not modified by PGE1 and TXB2, but diminished by indomethacin and NDGA and increased by arachidonic acid. As the chemotactic effect of arachidonic acid was slightly reduced by indomethacin and abolished by NDGA, it could depend on the formation of lipoxygenase derivatives. In normal rats, the leucocyte content of sponge exudates withdrawn 18 hours after implantation was increased slightly by normal serum and largely by serum from turpentine-treated rats. The blood leucocyte content was not modified in turpentine-treated rats. However in these rats, the leucocyte content of sponge exudates was low comparatively to the leucocyte content in normal rats. This low level was not affected by indomethacin, arachidonic acid and normal serum. The leucocytes of turpentine-treated rats seem to be desensitizated towards chemotactic factors. Similar desensitization was observed in rats treated by iota carrageenan.
