| Research Abstract |
An adenosine known as one of the alarmin has a strong anti-inflammatory action. Adenosine inhibits inflammatory cytokine production from monocytes at at μM level. We found that serum adenosine level increased significantly under condition of massive tissue injury like burn. We suggest that released adenosine from injured tissue would have physiological role to regulate excessive inflammation at site of burn wound.
