Peripheral effects of methionine-enkephalin on inflammatory reactions and behavior in the rat
(Karger, Basel, 2000)
Methionine-enkephalin (Met-Enk) induces notable alterations in immune and central nervous system functions. The present study was conducted in order to compare peripheral and central effects of Met-Enk on nonspecific ...
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. ...
Quantification of Art v 1 and Act c 1 being major allergens of mugwort pollen and kiwi fruit extracts in mass-units by ion-exchange HPLC-UV method
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2007)
A simple ion-exchange HPLC-UV method was developed for determination of major allergens from mugwort pollen and kiwi fruit extracts in mass-units. The separation of Art v 1 and Act c 1 from other components in the extracts ...
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) modulates oxidative burst and nitric oxide production in carrageenan-elicited granulocytes from rat air pouch
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2006)
We studied the effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and NPY-related receptor specific peptides on functions of carrageenan-elicited granulocytes in vitro and ability of NPY to modulate carrageenan-induced air pouch inflammation ...
Age-related effect of peptide YY (PYY) on paw edema in the rat: The function of Y1 receptors on inflammatory cells
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2006)
It is well documented that neuropeptides participate in local inflammatory reaction and modulate functions of inflammatory cells. The aim of the study was to determine a link between in vivo and in vitro effects of NPY-related ...
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; ...
A determination of ImmunoCAP specific IgG(4) antibodies as a possible diagnostic marker for monitoring of immunotherapy to mite
(Blackwell Publishing, Oxford, 2008)
