Natural killer cell activity in adolescents with major depression.
An increasingly large body of work in adults has shown that derangements in the immune system, a critical protector from disease, are associated with stress, bereavement, and depression (for review, see Schleifer et al 1986, Calabrese et al 1987). We (Kronfol et al 1989) and others (Mohl et al 1987; Nerozzi et al 1989; Irwin et al 1990) have reported lower natural killer (NK) cell activity, a p...

متن کاملIncreased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
متن کاملMedullasin enhances human natural killer cell activity.
Medullasin, a new serine protease found in bone marrow cells, increased markedly human natural killer cell activity. Whereas the natural killer cell activity measured immediately after the treatment with medullasin remained almost on the same level as the control, an incubation at 37 degrees C for several hours increased markedly the natural killer cell activity of the lymphocytes treated with ...
متن کاملCocaine increases natural killer cell activity.
The administration of epinephrine to humans increases natural killer (NK) cell activity and numbers. If endogenous catecholamines regulate NK cells, then their activity should be increased by cocaine, an agent that potentiates endogenous catecholamines. We investigated the in vivo effect of cocaine on NK cell activity and on the distribution of lymphocyte subsets, including NK cells. Intravenou...
