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 ...
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 ...
Modulation of the specific immune response in Balb/cmice by intranasal application of recombinant H1D2 chimera
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Group 1 and group 2 allergens from house dust mite are the major elicitors of respiratory allergic diseases and the main candidates for immunotherapy. RESULTS: The potential therapeutic role of a chimera composed ...
Measles elimination in the World Health Organization European Region in light of recent outbreaks: Spotlight on the Balkans
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
Long-term beta-adrenergic receptor blockade increases levels of the most mature thymocyte subsets in aged rats
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2007)
Age-related increase in the density of thymic noradrenergic fibres and noradrenaline (NA) concentration is proposed to be associated with thymic involution and altered thymopoiesis. To test this hypothesis thymocyte ...
Murine Monoclonal Antibody 26 Raised Against Tetanus Toxoid Cross-Reacts with beta(2)-Glycoprotein I: Its Characteristics and Role in Molecular Mimicry
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2009)
Studies on experimental antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) models proved that molecular mimicry between plasma protein beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)GPI) and structure within micro-organisms or their products, might be a ...
Differential effects of chronic propranolol treatment on the phenotypic profile of thymocytes from immature and adult rats
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2000)
To elucidate a putative role of beta-adrenoceptors in the modulation of intrathymic T-cell maturation, the expression of major differentiational antigene (CD4/CD8 and TCR alpha beta) on the thymocytes from both immature ...
Strain specificities in age-related changes in mechanisms promoting and controlling rat spinal cord damage in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The study investigated strain specificities in age-related differences in CD8+ T cell-and microglial cell-mediated mechanisms implicated in induction/perpetuation and/or control of neuroinflammation in experimental autoimmune ...
