Molecular characterization of Dobrava-Belgrade hantavirus in Serbia, 2007-2011
(Elsevier Science London, London, 2019)
Background: Hantaviruses are etiological agents of emerging zoonotic diseases worldwide, including hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). A number of hantavirus species is known to be present in Europe. In Serbia, ...
Reduced tissue immigration of monocytes by neuropeptide Y during endotoxemia is associated with Y-2 receptor activation
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2004)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) increases survival in experimental septic shock, which might be mediated by cardiovascular and/or immunological effects. To study the latter hypothesis, we monitored blood leukocyte subsets over 96 h ...
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, ...
Autoantibody response and pregnancy-related pathology induced by combined LPS and tetanus toxoid hyperimmunization in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2015)
Recent data concerning antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) induction have shown that beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)GPI) binds lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which results in conformational changes, exposition of a cryptic epitope ...
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, ...
Lactobacillus helveticus Lafti L10 supplementation reduces respiratory infection duration in a cohort of elite athletes: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
(Canadian Science Publishing, Ottawa, 2016)
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate if Lactobacillus helveticus Lafti L10 (Lallemand Health Solutions, Montreal, Que., Canada) supplementation during 14 weeks in winter can influence ...
Neuropeptide Y modulates functions of inflammatory cells in the rat: Distinct role for Y1, Y2 and Y5 receptors
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2011)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been reported to be a potent anti-inflammatory peptide with ability to directly modulate activity of granulocytes and macrophages. The present study aimed to correlate the effects of NPY in vivo ...
Dysregulation of T-Cell Development in Adrenal Glucocorticoid-Deprived Rats
(Sage Publications Ltd, London, 2009)
A number of different experimental approaches have been used to elucidate the impact: of basal levels of adrenal gland-derived glucocorticoids (GCs) on T cell development, and thereby T cell-mediated immune responses. ...
Ovarian hormone level alterations during rat post-reproductive life-span influence CD8+T-cell homeostasis
(Sage Publications Ltd, London, 2015)
The study examined the putative role of ovarian hormones in shaping of rat peripheral T-cell compartment during post-reproductive period. In 20-month-old rats ovariectomized (Ox) at the very end of reproductive period, ...
17 beta-Estradiol influences in vitro response of aged rat splenic conventional dendritic cells to TLR4 and TLR7/8 agonists in an agonist specific manner
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
This study was undertaken considering that, despite the broad use of the unopposed estrogen replacement therapy in elderly women, data on estrogen influence on the functional capacity of dendritic cells (DCs), and consequently ...
