Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSOCIATION OF TESTOSTERONE AND CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IN MODULATION OF IMMUNITY AND SEVERITY OF DISEASE IN VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS PATIENTS-A PRELIMINARY STUDYKrishna Pandey, Dharmendra Singh, Sanjiva Bimal et al.Males are more prone to Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) as compared to females. The role of androgens in host defence against Leishmania and other pathogens is of considerable interest. This study was aimed to understand a baseline mechanistic understanding of the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis with respect to testosterone. We examined the relationship between serum testosterone and cholesterol levels, antigen induced … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Virgin Olive Oil (Olea europea. L) on Kidney Function Impairment and Oxidative Stress Induced by Mercuric Chloride in RatsYoucef Necib, Ahlem Bahi, Sakina Zerizer et al.The study was designed to investigate the possible protective role of virgin olive oil in mercuric chloride induced renal stress, by using biochemical approaches. The effects of virgin olive oil on mercuric chloride induced oxidative and renal stress were evaluated by serum creatinine, urea and uric acid levels, kidney tissue lipid peroxidation, GSH levels, GSH-Px and GST activities. Administration of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 16,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Chromium(VI) on Serum Iron and Removal of its Toxicity by Combining Deferasirox and Deferiprone Chelators in RatsS. Jamil A. Fatemi, Marzieh Iranmanesh, Faezeh Dahooee BaloochThe present research is aimed to characterize the potential efficiency of two chelators after chromium(VI) administration for 60 days following two doses of 15 and 30 mg kg-1 chromium(VI) per body weight daily to male rats. However, the hypothesis that the two chelators might be more efficient as combined therapy than as single therapy in removing chromium(VI) from bood serum … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2013 · 7,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcute Phase Protein Responses in Mice Infected with River Water Contaminated by Pasteurella multocida Type B: 2Mohammed Muqdad Khaleel, Faez Firdaus Jesse Abdullah, Lawan Adamu et al.Animals are predisposed to infections through varieties of ways which activate the innate immune systems at the initial phase of acute infections. Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) is a devastating septicemic disease of cattle and buffaloes caused by a particular serotypes of Pasteurella multocida and serotype B: 2 is the most importanta cause of the disease in Asia. Therefore, the present study … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 17 Sep 2013 · 7,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcute Phase Proteins, Lipid Profile and Proinflammatory Cytokines in Healthy and Bronchopneumonic Water Buffalo CalvesSabry M. El-Bahr, Wael M. EL-DeebThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of Acute Phase Proteins (APP), lipid profiles and proinflammatory cytokines in healthy and bronchopneumonic water buffalo calves. Therefore, sixty water buffalo calves (9±1 month old, 175±15 kg) were divided into two equal groups, the first group represented healthy, control, calves whereas calves of the second group were affected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractG-2548A Leptin Promoter and Q223R Leptin Receptor Polymorphisms in Obese Mexican SubjectsP. Carrillo-Vazquez Jonathan, Lopez-Alcantar Jeronimo, Chimal-Vega Brenda et al.Leptin interaction with its receptor in the hypothalamus stimulates a specific signaling cascade that results in the synthesis of anorexigenic and orexigenic peptides in order to regulate food intake and energy expenditure. Many polymorphisms in leptin (lep) and leptin receptor (lepr) genes have been associated with body weight. In particular, G-2548A in the lep promoter and Q223R in lepr variants … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2013 · 8,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractButyrate-Mediated Genomic Changes Involved in Non-Specific Host Defenses, Matrix Remodeling and the Immune Response in the Rumen Epithelium of Cows Afflicted with Subacute Ruminal AcidosisLouis Dionissopoulos, Anne Hermen Laarman, Ousama AlZahal et al.Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a disorder in cattle which can lead to chronic inflammation in the rumen epithelium, known as rumenitis. Butyrate has been shown to attenuate some of the detrimental effects of inflammatory gastroenteral disorders but the molecular mechanisms mediated by butyrate have not been defined. The objective of this study was to define the inflammatory-related genomic changes … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2013 · 8,059 accessesView PDFCite
