Inflammation can be defined as a bodily response to cell damage. Injured tissue cells release chemicals that cause inflammation, called chemical mediators of inflammation. These chemicals primarily produce their effects in the localized areas, where they are released. These chemicals include histamine, kinins, leukotrines, prostaglandins, interleukin - I (leukocytic pyrogen).
