Role of Exogenous Platelet Activating Factor on Sperm Capacitation and Acrosome Reaction in Male-Factor Infertility
Aim: To evaluate the effect of exogenous platelet activating Factor on capacitation and acrosome reaction in the sperms of infertile subjects. Methods: Forty samples of semen were collected, twenty each from non-male factor infertile subjects (controls) and twenty from male factor infertile subjects (patients). The sperms were separated from seminal fluid by using Sydney IVF sperm gradient kit....
متن کاملEssential role of platelet-activating factor receptor in the pathogenesis of Dengue virus infection.
Severe dengue infection in humans causes a disease characterized by thrombocytopenia, increased levels of cytokines, increased vascular permeability, hemorrhage, and shock. Treatment is supportive. Activation of platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor (PAFR) on endothelial cells and leukocytes induces increase in vascular permeability, hypotension, and production of cytokines. We hypothesized...
متن کاملEssential role of platelet-activating factor in control of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis infection.
In the present study we investigated the role of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and prostaglandins in experimental Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis infection and the relationship between these mediators and nitric oxide (NO) production. Mouse peritoneal macrophages elicited with thioglicolate were infected with leishmania amastigotes, and the infection index determined 48 h later. The cour...
متن کاملThe Role of Platelet-Activating Factor in Sepsis: A Bench-to-Bedside Review
inflammation in response to infection, continues to be an area of active research. Advances in our understanding of molecular signaling and cellular interactions have focused many studies of sepsis on inflammatory and anti-inflammatory pathways. Cytokines and other mediators, in conjunction with the offending infectious agent(s), are suspected to play a prominent role in the adaptive and malada...
متن کاملP 143: The Effect of Platelet Activating Factor on Inflammatory Response in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system which its main characteristic is an inflammation and demyelination and subsequent, neural degeneration. Many studies have shown that inflammation causing neuronal demyelination. MS is the most common cause of chronic neurological disability in during youth which the prognosis is that can be death. Platelet activating fact...
