Effect of Estrogen Replacement Therapy on Serum Cytokines (il-1α, Il-6, Tnf-α) in Ovariectomized Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to examine the changes in serum cytokine levels (Il-1α, Il-6, TNF-α) in ovariectomized rats with and without replacement estrogen therapy. Female Wistar rats were used. Rats were qualified for the following groups: Cl control, SH sham-operated, OV after ovariectomy, OVH after ovariectomy receiving 17 β-estradiol in three different doses (1.25, 12.5, 125 μg) during seven weeks. After ovariectomy the level of each examined cytokine was significantly increased. After the administration of three different doses of 17 β-estradiol the concentration of the examined cytokines was reduced in different degree.

Shiga toxins (Stxs) are bacterial virulence factors produced by Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and Escherichia coli strains. Stxs are critical factors for the development of diseases such as severe bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Additionally, Stxs trigger the secretion of pro- inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, particularly in monocytes or macrophages. The inflammatory cyto...

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is accompanied by abdominal pain and intestinal discomforts. A line of evidence shows that the immune system plays important roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. Two main cytokines directing the immune system are IL-6 and TNF-α which may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of this disease. The present study aimed at investigating the serum lev...

Introduction: Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the excessive release of proinflammatory cytokines is major cause of cerebral edema that can cause permanent neuronal loss. This study examined the changes in brain concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α and TGF- after different doses of estrogen or progesterone treatment in brain-injured rats at 6 and 24 h post...
