Scleritis (inflammation of sclera) is a strong indication of the underlying medical problem. It can be due to fungal, viral or parasitic infection, trauma, exposure to chemicals, poisonous gases or due to post-surgical complications.
Mast cells are granulated cells typically found in connective tissue. These cells mediate immune responses to foreign particles. In particular, they release large amounts of histamine and enzymes in response to antigen recognition.
Macrophages are a primary source of pro-inflammatory cytokines secreted by adipose tissue. The primary adipokine responsible for this infiltration is monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). As the level of macrophages increases in adipose tissue the level of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion by the tissue increases.dipose tissue is not merely an organ designed to passively store excess carbon in the form of fatty acids esterified to glycerol (triglycerides).
