Inhibition of Nitric Oxide Production and Proinflammatory Cytokines by Several Medicinal Plants
Background: A number of medicinal plants have been used to treat various immunological diseases. Nitric oxide (NO) has an important regulatory role in the various types of inflammatory processes. Objective: To investigate the NO modulatory activity of the extracts of several medicinal plants native to Iran including Dracocephalum kotschyi, Linum persicum, Dionysia termeana, Salvia mirzayanii, F...

متن کاملThe Role of Proinflammatory Cytokines in Mediation of Brain Antiedema Effect of Female Sex Steroids Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Background & Aims: Release of proinflammatory cytokines after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of brain edema. Previous studies demonstrated that sex steroids decrease brain edema induced by TBI. In this study changes of brain cytokines after the administration of estrogen and progesterone 24 hours after TBI were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Female rats were divided into 7 gro...
متن کاملNociceptor Sensitization by Proinflammatory Cytokines And Chemokines
Cytokines are small proteins with a molecular mass lower than 30 kDa. They are produced and secreted on demand, have a short life span and only travel over short distances if not released into the blood circulation. In addition to the classical interleukins and the chemotactic chemokines, growth factors like VEGF or FGF and the colony stimulating factors are also considered cytokines since they...
متن کاملINHIBITION OF HUMAN ERYTHROCYTE GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY BY DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE AND RELATED STEROIDS.
The inhibitory effects of several steroids on G6PD activity using intact erythrocytes are reported. Incubation of whole blood with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) resulted in 42% and 12% inhibition in the enzyme activity in the presence and absence of oxygen, respectively. Addition of epinephrine and/or aminophylline into the incubation medium caused further enzyme inhibition suggesting a po...
