Flavin metabolism during respiratory infection in mice.
Previous control studies carried out in children showed that respiratory infection alters riboflavin metabolism and leads to excessive urinary losses of the vitamin. In order to understand the nature of biochemical changes in riboflavin metabolism during respiratory infection, a study was carried out using the mouse as the experimental model, and Klebsiella pneumoniae as the infective organism....
متن کاملZileuton reduces respiratory illness and lung inflammation, during respiratory syncytial virus infection, in mice.
To determine the role of leukotrienes in a mouse model of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, we correlated the quantity of leukotrienes in lung lavage fluids of infected mice with respiratory rates and measures of outflow obstruction and then determined the effects of the leukotriene inhibitor zileuton on clinical features and lung function. Concentrations of leukotrienes were correla...
متن کاملRespiratory Syncytial Virus Infection in Children Referred to Kasra Hospital in Tehran during the Period of 2012-2014
Background and Aims: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is common in infants and young children. In infants younger than one year old it may cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia which requires hospitalization. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of the disease will help proper treatment of the disease and prevent further complications. Materials and Methods: Specimen taken from respiratory ...
متن کاملDistribution of immunoreactive endothelin in the lungs of mice during respiratory viral infection.
Respiratory tract viral infections are associated with the generation of a wide array of pro-inflammatory cytokines, some of which enhance the release of the potent airway smooth muscle spasmogen, endothelin, from respiratory epithelial cells in tissue culture. The aim of this study was to determine whether the content and distribution of immunoreactive endothelin in the intact murine lung is i...
متن کاملIL-10 Regulates Viral Lung Immunopathology during Acute Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection in Mice
Interleukin (IL-) 10 is a pleiotropic cytokine with broad immunosuppressive functions, particularly at mucosal sites such as the intestine and lung. Here we demonstrate that infection of BALB/c mice with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) induced IL-10 production by CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the airways at later time points (e.g. day 8); a proportion of these cells also co-produced IFN-γ. Fur...
