Padgilwar %J - %D 2013 %X Aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of adrenergic ¦Â-agonist and antagonist on acute and subacute inflammation and to study their possible interaction with aspirin, a commonly used NSAID. Propranolol in the dose of 4.5 mg/kg, 9 mg/kg, atenolol in the dose of 1mg/kg and 4.5 mg/kg, terbutaline in the dose of0.45mg/kg and 0.9mg/kg and aspirin in the dose of 54,200 mg/kg were administered orally in different groups of albino rats, to study their effect on inflammation induced by carrageenan or a foreign body. Aspirin (54 mg/kg) was administered with terbutaline (0.45 mg/kg) propranolol and atenolol (4.5mg/kg and 1mg/kg) to separate groups in order to study their interaction. Terbutaline, propranolol and atenolol produced significant anti-inflammatory activity in acute as well as sub acute inflammation model except atenolol in sub acute model. Sub anti-inflammatory (low dose) dose of terbutaline potentiated the anti-inflammatory activity of aspirin where as propranolol and atenolol failed. In conclusion, adrenergic ¦Â agonist and antagonist showed significant anti-inflammatory activity and coadministration with aspirin potentiated anti-inflammatory response of aspirin. %K Aspirin %K anti-inflammatory agent %K terbutaline %K propranolol and atenolol %K list of open access journals %K open access %K open access journals %K open access publication %K open access publisher %K open access publishing %K open access journal articles %K imedpub %K imedpub publishing %K insight medical publishing %K imedpub online %U https://www.imedpub.com/articles/relative-influence-of-adrenergic-agonist-and-antagonist-on-the-inflammation-and-their-interaction-with-aspirin.php?aid=12015
