In vitro and in vivo effects of clove on pro-inflammatory cytokines production by macrophages
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009-01-01)
Biological properties of clove have been reported, but little is known about its effect on the immune system. This work was aimed to investigate the effect in vivo of a water-soluble part of hydroalcoholic extract of clove ...
Increased circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and imbalanced regulatory T-cell cytokines production in chronic idiopathic urticaria
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
The immunologic characterization of chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU), mainly regarding cytokine profile needs more investigation. We examined circulating inflammatory cytokine levels, T-cell induced secretion, and cytokine ...
Cloxacillin control of experimental arthritis induced by SEC+ Staphylococcus aureus is associated with downmodulation of local and systemic cytokines
(2016-07-01)
Staphylococcus aureus is the most common agent of septic arthritis (SA) that is a severe, rapidly progressive and erosive disease. In this work we investigated the clinical, histopathological and immunological characteristics ...
Role of Dectin-1 receptor on cytokine production by human monocytes challenged with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(2018-04-01)
Fungal recognition by Dectin-1 receptor triggers a series of cellular mechanisms involved in a protective activation of the immune system. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the participation of Dectin-1 receptor in the ...
Propolis effect on Th1/Th2 cytokines production by acutely stressed mice
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-09-07)
Aim of the study: Propolis has gained special attention due to its biological properties, however, little is known about its immunomodulatory effects in stress conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate ...
Clove and eugenol in noncytotoxic concentrations exert immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory action on cytokine production by murine macrophages
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-04-01)
Objectives The extract and essential oil of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) are widely used because of their medicinal properties. Eugenol is the most important component of clove, showing several biological properties. Herein ...
Production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines by monocytes from patients with paracoccidioidomycosis
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-04-01)
Monocytes and macrophages can produce a large repertoire of cytokines and participate in the pathogenesis of granulomatous diseases. We investigated the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines by monocytes from ...
Elevated serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines potentially correlate with depression and anxiety in colorectal cancer patients in different stages of the antitumor therapy
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-04-01)
Depression and anxiety, the most important psychological disorders in cancer patients, have now been considered as psychoneuroimmunological disorders, in which peripheral immune activation, through the release of proinflammatory ...
The immunomodulatory effect of propolis on receptors expression, cytokine production and fungicidal activity of human monocytes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-10-01)
ObjectivesPropolis is a beehive product and its immunomodulatory action has been documented; however, little is known concerning its mechanisms of action on human cells. Propolis influence on the initial events of the ...
