The insulin-like growth factor system in the circulation of patients with viral infections
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, Berlin, 2004)
The insulinlike growth factor (IGF) system was examined in the circulation of patients with viral infections (herpes simplex virus, HSV; cytomegalovirus, CMV; rotavirus, RV and adenovirus, AV). The serum concentrations of ...
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist administration affects the thymopoiesis in adult female rats independently on gonadal hormone production
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2005)
PROBLEM: In addition to having an indirect effect on the T-cell development by controlling the production of ovarian steroids, an accumulating body of evidence suggest that GnRH analogue (GnRH-A) administration may exert ...
Strain differences in peritoneal macrophage activity and susceptibility to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis induction in rats
(Springer Basel Ag, Basel, 2007)
The objective of the present study was to investigate the relevance of peripheral macrophage activity for the susceptibility to the induction of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). Rats of EAE-susceptible Dark ...
Chronic alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor blockade produces age-dependent changes in rat thymus structure and thymocyte differentiation
(F Hernandez, Murcia, 2005)
In order to examine the influence of chronic alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor (alpha(1)-AR) blockade on the thymus structure and T-cell maturation, peripubertal and adult male rats were treated with urapidil (0.20 mg/kg BW/d; ...
Somatostatin modulates T cells development in adult rat thymus
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2007)
It is well known that somatostatin modulates thymic functions, such as binding to receptors. In order to elucidate the influence of somatostatin on the thymus architecture and the T cells maturation, young adult male rats ...
Immune responses in nucleus basalis magnocellularis-lesioned rats exposed to chronic isolation stress
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2000)
The present study was designed to establish the influence of chronic social isolation stress on humoral and cellular immunity in nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM)-lesioned rats. Therefore, ten days after bilateral ...
Beta-endorphin differentially affects inflammation in two inbred rat strains
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2006)
It has been shown that inflammation of rat paws elicits accumulation of opioid peptide is-endorphin-containing immune cells in the inflamed subcutaneous tissue, contributing to immumocyte-produced pain suppression. However, ...
The influence of stress and methionine-enkephalin on macrophage functions in two inbred rat strains
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
The aim of our current study was to investigate the effect of acute exposure to electric tail shock stress (ES) and to a stress witnessing procedure (SW), as models for physical and psychological stress paradigms, respectively, ...
Methionine-enkephalin stimulates hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide production in rat peritoneal macrophages: Interaction of mu, delta and kappa opioid receptors
(Karger, Basel, 2004)
Objective: Methionine-enkephalin ( MET) modulates various functions of macrophages related to both immune and inflammatory reactions in a naloxone reversible manner, suggesting that opioid receptors are involved in the ...
Exposure to acute physical and psychological stress alters the response of rat macrophages to corticosterone, neuropeptide Y and beta-endorphin
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2007)
The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of acute exposure to electric tail shock stress (ES) and a stress witnessing procedure ( SW), as models for physical and psychological stress paradigms, ...
