Protease and antiprotease levels in blood of arthritic rats.
Protease, antiprotease, and acid phosphatase blood levels of adjuvant arthritic rats were determined. The protease levels appear to vary inversely with the antiprotease levels. Changes in the protease levels correspond closely to changes in the acid phosphatase levels. Thus it is likely that the lysosomes contribute to the proteases present in the blood. Administered cortisol appears to raise b...
متن کاملProtease-Antiprotease Imbalance in Inflammatory Diseases in the Lung
We are very interested in the extensive research by Vernooy et al,1 who addressed the importance of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) in the pathogenesis and/or the development of COPD. It is likely to be important to evaluate the activity of the proteases rather than the expression of MMPs. Protease/antiprotease imbalance has also been postulated to be important in the pathogenesis of COPD. Howev...

متن کاملBeneficial effects of N-acetylcysteine on protease-antiprotease balance in attenuating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats
Objective(s): The role of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as an anti-oxidant in attenuating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis has been reported. However, its effect on parenchymal remodeling via regulating the protease-antiprotease balance is not fully defined. Therefore, the present study was designed to explore the possible role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), tissue i...
متن کاملThe origins of a concept: the protease-antiprotease imbalance hypothesis.
O ne of the more intense areas of research in lung disease in the past 40 years has been the investigation of mechanisms of lung parenchymal destruction by in vivo enzymatic proteolytic enzymes causing pulmonary emphysema and COPD. How this direction of research evolved is worth recounting because it illustrates how quite different experimental approaches done in different parts of the world at...
