Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Catha edulis on Insulin, Resistin and Cortisol Levels in Type-2 Diabetics and Non-DiabeticsMohamed Ibrahem Kotb El-Sayed, Hatem Al-Kordy AminIn this study, the biochemical effects of Catha edulis leaves chewing (as psycho stimulant and aphrodisiac) on the serum concentration of resistin, insulin, cortisol, zinc, calcium, copper and blood glucose in both healthy individuals and type 2 diabetic patients were examined. 80 male subjects aged 35-55 years were recruited in this study, 40 of them were previously diagnosed as type … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNeuroendocrine Abnormalities in Drug Abusers and HIV-Infected Individuals: Cortisol Response to Cold Pressor ChallengeMahendra Kumar, Drenna Waldrop-Valverde, Adarsh M. Kumar et al.Although endocrine abnormalities have been reported in HIV-1 infection, the role of risk factors is not understood. Injecting drug use (IDU) is an important risk factor for contracting HIV-infection and studies suggest that substance use may also be associated with endocrine dysfunction. In order to investigate hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis activity in this population, this study investigated cortisol response … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCortisol Response Mediates HIV-1-Related Cognitive Deficits Among Injecting Drug AbusersRaymond L. Ownby, Drenna Waldrop-Valverde, Adarsh M. Kumar et al.The cortisol response is an important measure of the endocrine activity to environmental challenges and has been related to cognitive function and mood. Previous studies have shown that the cortisol response to stress is dysregulated in persons with HIV-1 infection. Since cortisol is neurotoxic and its levels have been related to cognitive dysfunction in various disorders, it is possible that … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,759 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Whole-body Magnetic Field on Changes of Glucose and Cortisol Hormone in Guinea PigsS. Zare, H. Hayatgeibi, S. Alivandi, A. G. EbadiThe main goal of this study was to evaluate the possible effect of whole-body Magnetic Field (MF) exposure on the variations of glucose and corlisol hormone levels on 36 adult male Guinea pigs in four separate experiments, male Guinea pigs, were exposed to sinusoidal 5Hz, 0.013 μT and 50 Hz-0.207 μT MF. Duration of exposure was 2 and 4 h/day … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImmunofluorometrical Exploring of Cortisol Hormone Levels in the Serum of Patients with Histologically Verified Microcellular Lung CancerIvan MilosevicIt is already known in the science that the cells of microcellular lung cancer can produce ACTH. By following the levels of Cortisol as one consequence of ACTH producing, in the serum of microcellular lung cancer patients, we could make some statistical conclusions how significant these levels would be in eventual future early diagnostic procedures, besides already existing tumormarkers etc. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGlucan Supplementation Regulates Secretory Immunity and StressRichter Josef, Stiborová Ivana, Král Vlastimil et al.Sixty-six children were supplemented with beta glucan and dietary nucleotides, another 63 children served as negative control. We evaluated the effects of these supplements on several aspects of secretory immunity such as levels of secretory IgA (SIgA), albumin and SIgA/albumin ratio. In addition, in order to monitor effects of physical challenges and compensatory treatments on stress and reparation of immunity, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2017 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSTRESS; THE VULNERABILITY AND ASSOCIATION WITH DRIVING PERFORMANCEB. M.T. Shamsul, S. Khairunnisa, Y. G. Ng, M. Y. Irwan SyahSeveral factors may contribute to occurrence of road accidents which are human factors, vehicle factor, road factor and environmental factor. There has been recent evidence of a relationship between road accidents and emotional distress as well as fatigue. Monotonous and complex road environments are the road factor that relates to the internal factor within driver. The overall aim of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of 50 HZ Magnetic Field on Some Factors of Immune System in the Male Guinea PigsH. Sedghi, S. Zare, H. Hayatgeibi et al.This study investigated the bio-effects of 50 Hz MF exposure on some Immunological factors (ACTH, cortisol and glucose levels) in male Guinea pigs. The capacity of 50 Hz Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) to interfere in the weakness of endocrine system has been a relevant fact into the scientific community, since we are more susceptible for this kind of exposure, in modern … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBlockade of Group I Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors (mGluRs) Activation Inhibits Nociception Following Descending Colon Distension in SheepBogdan F. Kania, Danuta Wrońska, Mikołaj A. GralakExpression of mGluRs of groups I and II was found in structures of CNS closely related with nociception: spinal cord superficial fields, responsible for pain filling or modulation of neurotransmission in the peripheral receptors. The present study examined contribution of mGluRs to the development and maintenance of changes in behavioral and clinical symptoms caused by visceral pain. Experiments were carried … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHousing Pregnant Sows in Turnaround Stalls During Gestation Impacts Behavior, Immune and Well-BeingAshley DeDecker, Michael Mandru, Janeen L. Salak-JohnsonThis study aimed to determine the effects of housing gestating multiparous sows in alternative turn-around stalls on selective measures of well-being. Sows were randomly assigned to either a Turn-Around Stall (TAS) or standard Straight Stall (STS) from gestational day 6 until 110. Behavior was registered on days 6, 30, 45, 65, 90 and 110 of gestation and immune and cortisol … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 14 Nov 2018 · 7,965 accessesView PDFCite
