Abstract:Skin injury caused by chemicals substances as the carrageenan produces a local inflammatory reaction involving the liberation of mediators that leads to an increase in vascular permeability and, consequently, edema formation. The vascular permeability can be evaluated by measuring the amount of some extravasating specific dyes. The Evans blue dye is recommended due to its systemic effect and non-toxicity to the organism. That dye binds to the plasma albumin and emits radiation when excited, allowing for spectr… Show more
