The anti-inflammatory effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in rats is dependent on dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DP4) activity and age
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2008)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY)-induced modulation of the immune and inflammatory responses is regulated by tissue-specific expression of different receptor subtypes (Y1-Y6) and the activity of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DP4, ...
Methionine-enkephalin modulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) release by rat peritoneal macrophages involves different types of opioid receptors
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2008)
We investigated the involvement of specific types of opioid receptors in methionine-enkephalin (MET)-induced modulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) release by rat macrophages primed with sub-optimal concentrations of phorbol ...
Catecholamines as immunomodulators: A role for adrenoceptor-mediated mechanisms in fine tuning of T-cell development
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2008)
In its simplest form, effective T cell-mediated immunity emanates from the expansion of specific T cells activated tit response to antigen. In establishing and maintaining the peripheral T-cell pool, the thymus plays a ...
Characterization of intestinal isolates of lactic acid bacteria with potential probiotic ability from premature born nursling
(Croatian Chamber of Economy, 2008)
Five samples of feces from premature born nursling were taken from Institute of Neonatology (Belgrade). Three different media based on MRS was used for isolation of intestinal isolates of lactic acid bacteria. From 25 ...
Evaluation of antiviral activity of fractionated extracts of sage Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae) / Ispitivanje antivirusne aktivnosti ekstrakata žalfije Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae)
(Srpsko biološko društvo, Beograd, i dr., 2008)
In the present study, we examined cytotoxicity and extracellular and intracellular antiviral activity of fractionated extracts of wild and cultivated sage Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae) in vitro using the WISH-VSV model ...
High genetic diversity of measles virus, World Health Organization European region, 2005-2006
(Centers Disease Control & Prevention, Atlanta, 2008)
During 2005-2006, nine measles virus (MV) genotypes were identified throughout the World Health Organization European Region. All major epidemics were associated with genotypes D4, D6, and B3. Other genotypes (B2, D5, D8, ...
Sexual dimorphism in the catecholamine-containing thymus microenvironment: A role for gonadal hormones
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2008)
The study was undertaken to explore whether there were: i) apart from neural and circulatory, some other sources of catecholamines (CAs) in rat thymus and ii) gender-specific differences in thymic CA levels, and if so to ...
Intraoperative anaphylactic shock in a child with no history of type I hypersensitivity
(Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2008)
Natural rubber latex is the second most implicated agent in intraoperative anaphylactic reactions. This report describes a case of intraoperative anaphylaxis occurring in a non-atopic fourteen-year-old girl undergoing ...
Neuropeptide Y receptor-specifically modulates human neutrophil function
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2008)
Despite a continuously growing body of evidence highlighting the role of NPY in the immune system, surprisingly little is known about its ability to alter human leukocyte function. We therefore set out to examine NPY ...
