Paractin and Inflammation
Inflammation is a complex reaction of the body in response to cellular injury that is marked by tissue swelling, capillary dilation, anti‐histamine activity, redness, heat and pain. It serves as a mechanism initiating the elimination of noxious agents and of damaged tissue. The damaged cell signals inflammatory response releasing NF kappa B, the key regulator to our inflammatory response system. These result in the expression of several pro‐inflammatory proteins such as COX2 and iNOS that causes pain, fever, and swelling and heat of an affected area. Simultaneously, a series of pro‐inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin‐2, tumor necrosis factor‐alpha, and interferon‐gamma are released.*
