Abstract

This review was focused on counter irritation by turpentine in the rat. The involvement of sympathetic system, adrenal steroids, beta-endorphin, axon reflexes, haptoglobin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, complement activation, prostaglandin synthesis, kinin formation and leukocyte accumulation was considered as possible explanation of the anti-inflammatory effect of counter irritation by turpentine. The main mechanism consists of the reduction of leucocyte accumulation.
