(Czech Acad Sci, Inst Entomology, Ceske Budejovice, 2005)
A tobacco field in Greece was sampled during the 2001 and 2002 growing seasons to assess the seasonal trends in densities and spatial distributions of the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and its predatory mirid Macrolophus ...
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 treatment with interleukin-1 receptor antagonist on endogenous interleukin-1 levels in normal and irradiated mice
(Acad Sciences Czech Republic, Inst Physiology, Prague 4, 2000)
The in vivo effects of recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (rhIL-1Ra) administration on endogenous IL-1 levels in the circulation and conditioned media (CM) from different immunohematopoietic organ/tissues ...
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 ...
Effects of n-3 Fatty Acids Supplementation on Plasma Phospholipids Fatty Acid Composition in Patients with Obstructive Jaundice- a Pilot Study
(Journal Clinical Biochemistry & Nutrition, Kyoto, 2009)
Nutritional and immunological status of patients with obstructive jaundice is usually severely altered, with high mortality rates. The n-3 polyunsaturate fatty acids (PUFA), particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 ...
