…suppression of anti-inflammatory prostaglandin synthesis, and endogenous free-radical damage. Mediators of Inflammation(3) Complement system, eicosanoids, arachidonic acid metabolites, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, bradykinin leading to vasodilation, histamine, serotonin, lymphokines, cytokines, macrophages, and exudates leading to edema and swelling. Conclusion There is no single substance capable of quelling inflammation. But, with an understanding of molecular mechanisms that mediate inflammation, we may be able to better prepare our bodies to withstand the assault of injury and chronic inflammation.
