Abstract 1. News Physiol Sci. 2001 Feb;16:33-7. Neurogenic inflammation in human and rodent skin. Schmelz M(1), Petersen LJ. Author information: (1)Department of Physiology, University of Erlangen, 91054 Erlangen, Germany. The combination of vasodilation and protein extravasation following activation of nociceptors has been termed "neurogenic inflammation." In contrast to rodents, no neurogenic protein extravasation can be elicited in healthy human skin. Dermal microdialysis has considerably increased our knowledge about neurogenic inflammation in human skin, including the involvement of mast cells.
