Popis: Intrapleural injection of sodium arachidonate to rats produced both a cellular response and the generation of hydroxy fatty acid metabolites of arachidonic acid without edema. The cellular influx was inhibited by mixed 5-lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase inhibitors and by a glucocorticoid but not by cyclooxygenase inhibitors. These results suggest that a model using intrapleural injection of sodium arachidonate may have utility for detecting systemically active 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors
