Antibody maturation in Trypanosoma cruzi-infected rats.
The study of antibody avidity changes during infection has improved the understanding of the pathologic processes involved in several infectious diseases. In some infections, like toxoplasmosis, this information is being used for diagnostic purposes. Results of the evolution of antibody avidity for different specific antigens in Trypanosome cruzi-infected rats are presented. A Western blotting ...
متن کاملAge-Related Alteration in Serum Adiponectin in Rats and Its Association with Insulin Resistance Markers
Introduction: Adiponectin is one of the most important adipose derived hormone that conflicting data are available about serum changes of adiponectin at different ages.The present study was done to determine the age related changes in serum adiponectin and its association with insulin resistance (IR) indices in aging in male rats. Methods: In this study, serum samples were obtained from male r...
متن کاملExperimental Chagas disease: Therapeutic Vaccination with Trypanosoma Rangeli Modulates the Antibody Response and Helps to Control Trypanosoma cruzi infection
Chagas’ disease, produced by Trypanosoma cruzi, affects millions of people in Latin-America and is now being globalized through congenital, transfusional and transplantation transmission. In our laboratory we have developed an experimental mouse model of vaccination with non pathogenic Trypanosoma rangeli, that stimulates both innate and adaptive immunity, modulates the pattern of cytokines and...
متن کاملThe Response of Skeletal Muscle-Expressed Neurotrophins to Acute Resistance Exercise in Male Wistar Rats
Background. BDNF and NT-4/5 have been proposed to be involved in the coordinated adaptations of the neuromuscular system to the elevated level of activity, but an activity-dependent expression of neurotrophins in skeletal muscle is not well established. Objectives. We, therefore, investigated the effect of one session of resistance exercise on mRNA expression of some neurotrophins in Slow and ...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi: the role of PGE2 in immune response during the acute phase of experimental infection.
Chagas disease is characterized by cardiac lesions and a high level of PGE2. Our objective was to investigate the role of PGE2 in cardiac lesions. BALB/c mice were infected with Trypanosoma cruzi (1x10(3) trypomastigote forms) and were treated daily with PBS, meloxicam (0.5 mg/kg) or etoricoxib (0.6 mg/kg). The animals were sacrificed on the 21st day of infection and we collected the cardiac ti...
