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 ...
Prevalence of antibodies to Rickettsiae in different regions of Serbia
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, New Rochelle, 2008)
We assayed the presence of antibodies specific for Rickettsia typhi, R. akari, and R. conorii in sera of persons from several localities in Serbia with different geographic, climatic, and lifestyle characteristics. Sera ...
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 ...
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 ...
Ethanol consumption affecting some brain proteins and cortical plasticity might disturb the neural networks of long-term memory
(IEEE, New York, 2004)
The objective of this study is to investigate whether chronic ethanol consumption include brain damage expressed as; an increase of antibody titer to S-100 and synaptic membrane proteins, additioning of lateral ventricles ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
