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 ...
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 ...
Changes in thymus size, cellularity and relation between thymocyte subpopulations in young adult rats induced by Somatostatin-14
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2007)
The role of somatostatin on inhibition of both normal and tumor cell cycle, secretion of endocrine and exocrine cells, as well as induction apoptosis is well documented. However, its effect on T cell development and thymic ...
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, ...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), but not nitric oxide (NO), contribute to strain differences in the susceptibility to experimental arthritis in rats
(Elsevier Gmbh, Munich, 2007)
There is extensive evidence for the critical role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) produced by phagocytes in development of inflammatory processes and pathogenesis of numerous diseases, including ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The influence of restraint stress and beta-endorphin on inflammatory edema and macrophage function in AO rats
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2004)
