Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Turmimax® an in vivo and in vitro StudyFiroz Hussain H M., Nanjundaiah S., Sadashiva Channangihalli Thimmegowda et al.The main objective of this study was to investigate the in vivo and in vitro anti-inflammatory effects of the Turmimax® bio-enhanced turmeric formulation. By comparing the relative fluorescence intensities of the interleukins IL-8 (Interleukin-8) and IL-12 (Interleukin-12) cytokines in stimulated murine Raw 264.7 macrophages, Turmimax® was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory in vitro efficacy. Turmimax® was administered orally in two doses, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 24 Nov 2022 · 6,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sled Dog Model for Positive Health Effects of Weight Management and ExerciseLaura Falkenstein, Scott Jerome et al.Obesity is a significant risk factor for metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes. Physical activity and/or dietary modification can reduce the incidence of obesity. Marginal fitness levels limit the efficacy of exercise training, and most humans choose from a wide range of dietary strategies to lose weight. Despite these limitations, exercise in the absence of weight loss may offer protective … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2023 · 6,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarly Responses of Neural Cells (U87) to Particulate Matter Exposure: Cell Viability and Cytokine ConcentrationJae-Sik Jeon, Eun Ju Oh, Qian-Wen Wang, Jae Kyung KimParticulate Matter (PM) has a significant impact on human health and increases the risk of respiratory diseases. PM exposure is linked to various illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurological diseases, and pregnancy complications, and contributes to both mortality and morbidity globally. PM can also influence the autonomic nervous system. The evidence suggests that the likelihood of developing lung cancer continually … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2023 · 5,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics and Incidence of Candidemia in Hospitalized Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) PatientsNaana A Boachie, Jackie P. Johnston, Simi A. Philip et al.Management of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) with high-dose corticosteroids and interleukin-2 inhibitors has potential benefits, but is associated with immunosuppression and risk of secondary infections. This single-center, retrospective, cohort study evaluated the incidence of candidemia and associated risk factors in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Twenty-three patients developed candidemia and were matched to 77 non-candidemic COVID-19 controls. The primary outcome was incidence of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2022 · 7,604 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,865 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of Curcumin as an Immunostimulatory Dietary Supplement for Channel CatfishSaly Hafiz, Kunwar K. Srivastava, Joseph C. Newton et al.Natural agents such as curcumin may have the potential to enhance disease resistance in aquaculture. In this study, 30 catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), 2 years of age, were allotted to one of 3 treatment groups (n = 10) to receive diets supplemented with 0.0, 0.5, or 1.0% curcumin. Body weights and lengths of fish were taken at 0, 20, 40 and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2017 · 8,329 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Combined Fenofibrate and Nicotinamide on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Cytokines Involved in Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in RatsOmaima M. Abd Allah, Abeer A.I. Sharaf El-Din, Fouad El DebakeyCisplatin (Cis) is an anticancer drug, which is accompanied with major side effects including nephrotoxicity. The current study was performed to assess the possible prophylactic effects of fenofibrate (FEN), Nicotinamide (NAM) and their combination on oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines associated with cisplatin-induced renal damage. Rats were randomly divided into seven groups (8 each) as follows; control group; FEN group … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2015 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBotulinum Toxin as a Novel Addition to Anti-Arthritis ArmamentariumHamid Namazi, Zahra MajdOsteoarthritis is the most common joint disease and is among the most frequent health problems for middle aged and older people. There is strong evidence that proinflammatory cytokines contribute to cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis. Interleukin-1 is the prototypical proinflammatory cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of cartilage matrix degeneration. Results from studies in animal models provide stronger evidence implicating a role … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of High-Affinity FcεRI-β intron 2 for IgE Gene Polymorphism and Atopic Diseases in an Algerian PopulationDahbia Ines Dahmani, Ikhlass Haj Salem, Jamila Chakir et al.Atopy is characterized by the production of a high level of IgE in response to common allergens. We examined the RsaI-in2 polymorphism of the FcεRI-β gene and its association with atopic asthma and comorbidity. The study population included 77 atopic asthmatics and 77 non-atopic, non-allergic and non-asthmatic controls.
