theobromine and Primary Peritonitis

theobromine has been researched along with Primary Peritonitis in 4 studies

Theobromine: 3,7-Dimethylxanthine. The principle alkaloid in Theobroma cacao (the cacao bean) and other plants. A xanthine alkaloid that is used as a bronchodilator and as a vasodilator. It has a weaker diuretic activity than THEOPHYLLINE and is also a less powerful stimulant of smooth muscle. It has practically no stimulant effect on the central nervous system. It was formerly used as a diuretic and in the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, pp1318-9)
theobromine : A dimethylxanthine having the two methyl groups located at positions 3 and 7. A purine alkaloid derived from the cacao plant, it is found in chocolate, as well as in a number of other foods, and is a vasodilator, diuretic and heart stimulator.

" Adenosine levels in sites of inflammation were shown to increase and exhibit immunoregulatory effects."7.73Adenosine is upregulated during peritonitis and is involved in downregulation of inflammation. ( Chaimovitz, C; Douvdevani, A; Mazar, J; Nakav, S; Rogachev, B; Ziv, NY; Zlotnik, M, 2006)
"We investigated pentoxifylline (PTF) as a pretreatment of septic syndrome in pigs with fecal peritonitis."7.68Pretreatment with pentoxifylline improves the hemodynamic and histologic changes and decreases neutrophil adhesiveness in a pig fecal peritonitis model. ( al-Saady, N; Bennett, ED; Boghossian, S; Heath, MF; Hynd, J; Moss, R; Tighe, D, 1990)
" Those in the first group were sham operated, and those in the second and third groups underwent peritonitis induction; those in the latter group were treated with pentoxifylline (PTF)."7.67Pentoxifylline reduces pulmonary leucostasis and improves capillary patency in a rabbit peritonitis model. ( Bennett, ED; Heath, MF; Hynd, J; Moss, R; Tighe, D, 1989)
"The objective of this study was to determine the effect of pentoxifylline on the clinical and pathologic course of experimentally induced peritonitis in rats."7.67Pentoxifylline in the treatment of experimental peritonitis in rats.
