The potential of interleukin-17 to mediate hematopoietic response
(Humana Press Inc, Totowa, 2012)
It has long been known that T cells have the potential to modulate hematopoietic response in different ways. More recently, the importance of interleukin (IL)-17-secreting Th17 cells in T-cell-mediated regulation of ...
Changes in movement kinematics during single-joint movements against expectedly and unexpectedly changed inertial loads
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1999)
The study had two goals: (1) to understand the role of peripheral and central factors in changes in the movement symmetry ratio (acceleration time divided by deceleration time); and (2) to compare several theories of motor ...
The prognosis of patients with dissociated virological and immunological responses to HAART
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2010)
Background. - While HAART allows for the reconstitution of immune functions in most treated HIV patients, failure to achieve a significant increase in circulating CD4+ T cells despite undetectable viremia occurs. Methods. ...
Serum beta(2)-microglobulin as a marker of congenital toxoplasmosis and cytomegalovirus infection in preterm neonates
(Karger, Basel, 2008)
Background: Fetal serum beta(2)-microglobulin (beta M-2) has been reported as a reliable indicator of fetal infectious diseases. Objectives: To evaluate serum beta M-2 as a marker of congenital toxoplasmosis or cytomegalovirus ...
Total polyphenols and antioxidative activity of water extracts of spent coffee
(Karger, Basel, 2011)
Dietary lipid intake influences the level of cholesterol bound to haemoglobin in human erythrocytes
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2008)
Background Blood cholesterol levels are affected by diet and in particular by the type of fat intake. We originally showed that a significant but variable amount of cholesterol is firmly bound to haemoglobin (Hb) yielding ...
Combined effect of IL-17 and blockade of nitric oxide biosynthesis on haematopoiesis in mice
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
Aim: The study was undertaken to extend our investigation concerning both the in vivo activity of interleukin (IL)-17 and the specific role of nitric oxide (NO) in IL-17-induced effects in the process of haematopoiesis. ...
