From: Anti-inflammatory properties of desipramine and fluoxetine
Desipramine and fluoxetine inhibit influx of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavages of sensitized rats. Ovalbumin-sensitized rats (OVA) treated with saline, prednisolone (Pred, 10 mg/kg), desipramine (DMI, 10 mg/kg) or fluoxetine (Fluo, 10 mg/kg) and control rats (Cont) (n = 6ā7 per group) were challenged with metacholine. Total number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavages was then determined. *p < 0.01 and **p < 0.001 versus ovalbumin-sensitized rats treated with saline, by Student t test.
