Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuercetin Promotes the Expression of Genes Involved in Phagocytosis in Bovine NeutrophilsSuphakit Srikok, Sukij Nambut, Kanruethai Wongsawan, Phongsakorn ChuammitriThis study was conducted to explore the effect of Quercetin (QH) on phagocytosis of bovine neutrophils. Neutrophils were isolated from fifteen multiparous Holstein cows. We in vitro treated neutrophils with PBS or 50 µM of Quercetin (QH) or Cytochalasin B (CytB), as phagocytosis inhibitor, prior to monitoring phagocytosis of Escherichia coli by flow cytometry and microscopic examination. Additionally, the expressions … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 2 Aug 2017 · 8,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEXPOSURE TO SWINE HOUSING DUST MODULATES MACROPHAGE MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTIONRuth J. Pender, Radiah C. Minor, Steven L. Hurley et al.Swine Confinement Facility (SCF) dust consists of a complex mixture of feed grain particles, bacterial components, organic particulates and gases. When these particles are inhaled they deposit along the respiratory tract and mediate respiratory symptoms and disease in swine farmers and facility workers. Macrophages ingest and eliminate microbes and debris under chronic conditions; however, the role of macrophages in agricultural-related … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPreliminary Study on Immunomodulatory Effect of Sarang-Semut Tubers Myrmecodia tuberosa and Myrmecodia pendensTriana Hertiani, Ediati Sasmito, Sumardi, Maria UlfahProblem Statement: Sarang-Semut tubers, Myrmecodia tuberosa and M. pendens (Rubiaceae) are both medicinal plants originating from Papua which have broad range of therapeutic values including those to improve vitality. Nevertheless, no scientific proof is available so far on their immunomodulatory effect. The purpose of this study was to reveal the potency of Sarang-Semut tubers as immunomodulatory agent by evaluating their … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 13,397 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImmune Response and Pasteurella Resistance in Rabbits Fed Diets Containing Various Amounts of Black Cumin SeedsNabiela M. El Bagir, Imtitha T.O. Farah, Safia M.B. Elhag et al.Problem statement: The consumption of black cumin (Nigella sativa) seed has immunomodulatory and anti-bacterial activity, but in rabbits this had not yet been tested. Approach: In the present studies, rabbits were fed diets without or with black cumin seed and antibody production, phagocytotic activity, hypersensitivity and resistance against Pasteurellosis were assessed. Results: Feeding black cumin seed significantly increased serum concentrations … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory and Antioxidant Effects of Stachys Japonica Miq. Ethanol Extract on Cyclophosphamide-Induced Immunosuppressed Mice and its Phytochemical CompositionXueping Jiang, Jianglong He, Yanjun Chen, Fang WangStachys japonica Miq. is an edible wild botanical drug and a traditional medicine in China. This study focused on examining the phytochemical profile and antioxidant properties of the ethanol extract of S. japonica Miq (SJEE) in vitro, as well as its immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities in cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced immunosuppressed mice. The SJEE was analysed by UPLC-HRMS/MS. 36 Polyphenols, including flavonoids, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2026 · 1,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Bioactive Constituents from the Aerial Parts of Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz. With Antioxidant, Immunoenhancing, and Anticoagulant PotentialJiaqi Sun, Shiyu Ji et al.The cultivation of Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz (DdT) is expensive and difficulty associated with growing, making its root bark the only commonly used medicinal part, while other parts are discarded. Therefore, in order to improve the limited utilization of resources, the new medicinal parts were screened from polysaccharide-rich aqueous extracts. The samples were the purified polysaccharides from the aerial part on … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 9 Oct 2025 · 2,018 accessesView PDFCite

Proteins are well-defined bioconstituents in Oviductus ranae, little information is availabe on its polysaccharides. In present work, a Polysaccharide-Rich fraction (POR-3) was fractionated from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2020 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPromising Effects of Beta-Glucans on Metabolism and on the Immune Responses: Review ArticleViviam de Oliveira Silva, Natália Oliveira de Moura, Larissa Jahnel Rodrigues de Oliveira et al.A public health issue, Diabetes mellitus, affects millions of people around the globe. Ingestion of foods with a low glycemic index - fiber-rich meals-such as beta-glucans, is increasing as an important alternative for diabetes control. These compounds act reducing parameters such as blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, by decreasing the absorption of glucose and lipids by enterocytes and eventually promote … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 12,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Immunological Responses by Dietary Arthrospira platensis and Possibility of Field Applications as Alternative to Antibiotics in Broiler ChickenShinsuke Katayama, Yumi Kayahara, Tomoko WatanabeArthrospira platensis is one of the candidates expected to replace antibiotics by its immunostimulatory effects in broiler industry, but the evaluation aimed at field applications is not enough. Here, we measured general immunological indicators such as specific antibody responses against sheep red blood cell and Brucella abortus, serum immunoglobulin concentrations and monocyte phagocytic capacity of broiler chickens, which assigned to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2016 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ1,3-GLUCAN ANTICANCER EFFICACIES AND SYNERGIES: A REVIEWStory Jenny, Vetvicka Vaclav, Angove Michaelβ1,3-glucans from fungi, cereals, seaweeds and bacteria have been shown to possess favourable biological and anti-carcinogenic activities including upregulation of phagocytosis, cytokine production enhancement, superoxide and nitrite production; antibody secretion and stimulation of signalling pathways associated with proto-oncogene expression.
