Inflammation and free radicals: • Inflammation is part of the body’s natural defense against irritation‚ toxic foods and chemicals‚ infections and other foreign invaders. However‚ there are times when the appropriate immune response to control infections‚ allergies and toxins is disrupted. The immune system can then shift into a chronic state of inflammation‚ which is now recognized as a major factor in most chronic health problems.

INTRODUCTION Inflammation is the body’s immediate response to damage of its tissues and cells by pathogens‚ harmful stimuli‚ or physical injury. The inflammatory process is characterized by redness‚ swelling‚ an increase in temperature‚ loss of normal bodily function and pain. Inflammation is a protective response by the body towards cell injury. Cell injury may be due to; necrotic cells or tissue‚ the introduction of microbes (such as viruses or bacteria)‚ toxins‚ hypoxia‚ etc. Inflammation is therefore

Acute Inflammation The survival of all organisms requires that they eliminate foreign invaders‚ such as infectious pathogens‚ and damaged tissues. These functions are mediated by a complex host response called inflammation. Definition of inflammation Inflammation is fundamentally a protective response‚ the ultimate goal of which is to rid the organism of both the initial cause of cell injury (e.g.‚ microbes‚ toxins) and the consequences of such injury (e.g.‚ necrotic cells and tissues)

Inflammation is a protective response by the body towards cell injury‚ irritation‚ infection and can accumulate fluids with the following signs and symptoms: redness‚ warmth‚ swelling and pain. Inflammation is therefore the body’s way of attempting to remove the primary cause of inflammation and any damage that may have occurred as a result (healing and repair) (Drake et al.‚ 2007). Today numerous drugs are used to treat conditions of inflammation such as narcotics (opioids)‚ and non narcotics (salicylates)

Inflammation is defined as the presence of edema fluid and the invasion of tissue by leukocytes. Inflammation is characterized by heat‚ redness‚ pain‚ and swelling. These characteristics are the result of the release of various chemical mediators during an immune response. Cytokines and other inflammatory mediators act on local blood vessels causing dilation of blood vessels and an increase in vascular permeability. Blood flow is increased and there is an increase in the leakage of fluid and proteins
