Effect of Neutrophils on Nitric Oxide Production from Stimulated Macrophages
Background: During the initial phase of an infection, there is an upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the macrophages for the production of nitric oxide. This is followed by the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) which release arginase. Arginase competes with inducible nitric oxide synthase for a common substrate L-arginine. Objective: To investigate whethe...
متن کاملKinetics of Nitric Oxide Production and MTT Reduction by HSV-1 Infected Macrophages
Background: Macrophages have important role in defense against Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 (HSV-1). The present study was performed to determine the viability and nitric oxide (NO) production by HSV-1 infected mouse peritoneal macrophages (HIM). Method: The viability of macrophages was evaluated using MTT reduction assay and the production of nitrite using Griess method. Results: The ability of...
متن کاملInhibition 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 کاملL-Glutamin-Induced Inhibition of Endotoxemia by Reducing Pre-Inflammatory Cytokines, Nitric Oxide, and CD40 Expression
Introduction: Researchers have been investigating the major pathogens involved in septic shock caused by lipopolysaccharide in recent years. Moreover, they have been concerned about the use of appropriate drugs to intervene with the main pathogenesis of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the effect of L-Glutamine as an HSP70 inducer in reducing pre-inflammatory cytokines and effective...
