Early postnatal castration affects thymic and thymocyte noradrenaline levels and beta-adrenoceptor-mediated influence on the thymopoiesis in adult rats
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2007)
The interactions among the nervous, endocrine and immune system were studied by examining: i) thymic and thymocyte catecholamine levels in adult rats castrated (Cx) at postnatal day 3 and ii) effects of 14-day-long propranolol ...
Beta-adrenoceptor blockade ameliorates the clinical course of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and diminishes its aggravation in adrenalectomized rats
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2007)
As glucocorticoids influence both catecholamine synthesis and adrenoceptor expression by immune cells, the current study was undertaken to distinguish their direct effects on the development of experimental allergic ...
Maturation of IgG avidity to individual rubella virus structural proteins
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2001)
Background: the structural proteins of rubella virus, the capsid protein C and the envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 were produced in lepidopteran insect cells using baculovirus expression vectors. The C-terminal ends of ...
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, ...
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 ...
Modulation of humoral immune responses in the rat by centrally applied Met-Enk and opioid receptor antagonists: functional interactions of brain OP1, OP2 and OP3 receptors
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2000)
We have previously demonstrated that central application of leucine-enkephalin (Leu-Enk) elicits potentiation and suppression of humoral immune responses through OP1 (delta) and OP2 (kappa) receptors, respectively. ...
Changes in pools of autoantibodies and anti-bacterial antibodies in patients suffering from recurrent infections of the urinary tract and undergoing bacterial immunization treatment
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2004)
Antibodies (Abs) (IgM, IgA IgG and IgG subclasses) specific for several uropathogenic strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp. and Klebsiella sp.) as well as anti-phospholipids, anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I and anti-laminin ...
Behavior and severity of adjuvant arthritis in four rat strains
(Academic Press Inc, San Diego, 2001)
Previous research has suggested that behavioral traits of the histocompatible Lewis and Fischer strains of rats could be related to the difference in their susceptibility to adjuvant arthritis (AA), In the present study, ...
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, ...
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, ...
