Abstract

For ethical and practical considerations, the study of human disease processes has relied heavily on the use of experimental models in laboratory animals. Inflammation is no exception. By their very nature, the actual relevance of such models to the clinical situation, and consequently their likely predictive value, is open to question. With this point in mind, in this chapter, we will consider the relevance of a variety of experimental models of inflammation in which the contribution of eicosanoids has been investigated. We have chosen, as examples, animal models of asthma, other pulmonary diseases and rheumatoid arthritis.
