Hypersensitivity in Newborn Guinea Pigs
Neonatal guinea pigs during the first 2 weeks of life did not indicate the presence of delayed hypersensitivity intradermally, after sensitization with purified soluble antigens in dose levels that induced detectable delayed hypersensitivity in the skin of adults. Although Arthus type allergy was detectable in newborns, circulating antibody frequently preceded its appearance by several days. Pa...
متن کاملInfluence of prenatal nicotine exposure on development of the ventilatory response to hypoxia and hypercapnia in neonatal rats.
In a recent study (Huang YH et al. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 143: 1-8, 2004), we showed that prenatal nicotine exposure (PNE) increased the frequency of spontaneous apneic events on the first 2 days of life in unanesthetized neonatal rats. Here we test the hypothesis that PNE blunts chemoreceptor reflexes. Ventilatory responses to three levels each of hypoxia (inspired O(2) fraction: 16, 12, and...
متن کاملDepressed ventilatory response to hypoxia in hypothermic newborn piglets: role of glutamate.
To evaluate whether changes in extracellular glutamate (Glu) levels in the central nervous system could explain the depressed hypoxic ventilatory response in hypothermic neonates, 12 anesthetized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated piglets <7 days old were studied. The Glu levels in the nucleus tractus solitarius obtained by microdialysis, minute phrenic output (MPO), O2 consumption, arteri...
متن کاملChlamydial pneumonitis induced in newborn guinea pigs.
One- to three-day-old guinea pigs were inoculated intranasally with the chlamydial agent of guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis. Physical signs of infection included a marked increase in respiration rate on days 5 to 10 of infection and radiographic evidence of pneumonia on day 6. When animals were killed at various times after infection and lung tissue was examined by histopathology, evidence ...
متن کاملAminophylline alters the core temperature response to acute hypoxemia in newborn and older guinea pigs.
In newborns and adults of a number of species, exposure to acute hypoxemia produces a "regulated" decrease in core temperature, the mechanism of which is unknown. The present experiments were carried out on chronically instrumented newborn (5-10 days of age; n = 27) and older (25-30 days of age; n = 23) guinea pigs to test the hypothesis that adenosine mediates this regulated decrease in core t...
