Peritoneal exudate cells from long-lived rats exhibit increased IL-10/IL-1 beta expression ratio and preserved NO/urea ratio following LPS-stimulation in vitro
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2014)
In humans, usual aging, differently from successful aging, is associated with deregulation of proinflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokine balance. The corresponding data from rat studies are limited. Therefore, we examined ...
Aging oppositely affects TNF-alpha and IL-10 production by macrophages from different rat strains
(Springer, New York, 2014)
Altered functions of macrophages with aging contribute to impairment of both innate and adaptive immunity in the elderly. The present study aimed to examine strain specificity of age-related changes in the phenotypic and ...
Age-associated changes in rat immune system: Lessons learned from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
