Modulation of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by endogenous Annexin A1

Amelioration of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis by Anatabine

Anatabine, a naturally occurring alkaloid, is becoming a commonly used human food supplement, taken for its claimed anti-inflammatory properties although this has not yet been reported in human clinical trials. We have previously shown that anatabine does display certain anti-inflammatory properties and readily crosses the blood-brain barrier suggesting it could represent an important compound ...

Suppression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by ghrelin.

Ghrelin is a recently identified gastric hormone that displays strong growth hormone-releasing activity mediated by the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. While this unique endogenous peptide participates in the regulation of energy homeostasis, increases food intake, and decreases energy expenditure, its ability to inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines in vitro indicates its r...

Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is also named encephalomyelitis disseminata (ED). EAE has been also called experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, but the word `allergic` is more and more replaced by the word `autoimmune`. This has to do with the deeper understanding of the disease biology that has been gathered over the last ye...

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Encephalomyelitis by Inducing Attenuates Experimental Autoimmune Inhibition of Endogenous Activated Protein C

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis Experimental aspects of EAE

myelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that takes a relapsing–remitting or a progressive course (reviewed in Refs 1,2). Its counterpart in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) (reviewed in Ref. 3). In addition, there are acute, monophasic disorders, such as the inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy t...
