Inflammatory action of PAF-acether in the rat pleural cavity.
The injection of PAF-acether into the pleural cavity of the rat induced a maximal exudate after 30-60 min which then decreased and disappeared after 24 hours. In addition, the mediator produced a decrease in the number of leukocytes in the pleural cavity 30 min after injection and an increase in the number of cells after 6 hours.
