Question

Do inflammatory mediators promote inflammation?

Answer 1

Welcome to OpenStudy.

To Start, do you know what inflammatory mediators are? Please give me more information on this subject, I dont have a clue of what you are talking about, I believe it this question has no correlation to Biology.

Answer 2

Inflammatory mediators do indeed have to do with biology.

Inflammation is the body's response to damage - like a cut or a bacterial infection. Inflammatory mediators are small molecules that translate the mechanical damage or bacterial challenge into a physiologic response. The answer is yes and no - some inflammatory mediators promote inflammation but some also damp it down. Otherwise the body would have no way to stopping inflammation.
