Hematopoietic changes and altered reactivity to IL-17 in Syphacia obvelata-infected mice
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2006)
Pinworm parasites commonly infect laboratory mice with high prevalence even in well-managed animal colonies. Although often considered as irrelevant, these parasites if undetected may significantly interfere with the ...
Detecting long-range correlations in time series of neuronal discharges
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2003)
We have studied the discharge dynamics of dorsal horn neurons (DHN) by applying the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and the wavelet transform (WT) technique. We have adopted that discharge dynamics is manifested by ...
Effect of IL-17 on in vitro hematopoietic progenitor cells growth and cytokine release in normal and post-irradiated murine bone marrow
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2001)
The influence of recombinant human IL-17 on granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) and erythroid (BFU-E and CFU-E) progenitors and the release of IL-1 alpha/beta, IL-6 and erythropoietin (EPO) was estimated in the bone marrow ...
p38 MAPK signaling mediates IL-17-induced nitric oxide synthase expression in bone marrow cells
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2009)
The effects of interleukin (IL)-17 on nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) expression, as well as the participation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in IL-17-mediated effects were examined in murine bone marrow ...
High prevalence of intestinal zoonotic parasites in dogs from Belgrade, Serbia - Short communication
(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, Budapest, 2008)
To identify areas of risk for canine-related zoonoses in Serbia, the aim of this Study was to provide baseline knowledge about intestinal parasites in 15 1 dogs (65 household pets, 75 stray and I I military working dogs) ...
Wavelet analysis of discharge dynamics of fusimotor neurons
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2001)
We study the interspike intervals (ISI) time series of the spontaneous fusimotor neuron activity by applying the wavelet transform analysis and confirm the existence of the white noise characteristics of the ISI time series. ...
Effectiveness of spiramycin in murine models of acute and chronic toxoplasmosis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005)
The antitoxoplasmic activity of spiramycin (SPI) was evaluated in murine models of infection using a type-1 (RH) or type-2 (Me49) strain of Toxoplasma gondii. In mice infected with 10(2) tachyzoites of the RH strain, ...
Comparative evaluation of three commercial Toxoplasma-specific IgG antibody avidity tests and significance in different clinical settings
(Microbiology Soc, London, 2009)
Determination of the avidity of specific IgG antibodies has become a generally accepted diagnostic aid for dating Toxoplasma infection. In this study, the Labsystems, VIDAS and EUROIMMUN Toxoplasma IgG avidity assays were ...
Effects of soybean D-LeciVita product on serum lipids and fatty acid composition in type 2 diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2006)
Background and aim: Hyperlipidemia is one of the major risk factors of cardiovascular complication in diabetes. High intake of soy product has been suggested to prevent cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was ...
Toxoplasma gondii infection induces lipid metabolism alterations in the murine host
(Fundaco Oswaldo Cruz, Rio De Janeiro, Rj, 2009)
Host lipids have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Toxoplasma gondii infection. To determine if Toxoplasma infection influences the lipid status in the normal host, we assessed serum lipids of Swiss-Webster mice during ...
