Effects of endocrine disruption by 4-nonylphenol ethoxylate on the grwoth preformance and immune responses of female and male immature Koi carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio)
Nonylphenol (NP) is an endocrine disrupting chemical which has been shown to be able to modulate endocrine system of various organisms by different mechanisms. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential effects of 4-NP and 17-β-estradiol (E2) on immune parameters (IgM level and lysozyme activity) of Koi carp (Cyprinus the carpio carpio) in an attempt to expand the knowledg...
متن کاملCross-talk between the immune and endocrine systems.
Significant advances have been made in the field of immunophysiology since Selye discovered that acute stressors reduce the size of lymphoid organs. It is known that a variety of hormones other than glucocorticoids affect functional activities of lymphoid cells and macrophages. This paper summarizes recent findings of the effects of glucocorticoids and other hormones on lymphoid cells of domest...
متن کاملProgesterone during pregnancy: endocrine-immune cross talk in mammalian species and the role of stress.
Progesterone is critical for the establishment and the maintenance of pregnancy, both by its endocrine and immunological effects. The genomic actions of progesterone are mediated by the intracellular progesterone receptors; A and B. A protein called P-induced blocking factor (PIBF), by inducing a T(H2) dominant cytokine production, mediates the immunological effects of progesterone. Progesteron...
متن کاملI-14: Novel Concepts in Molecular Pathology May Open A New Era in Treatment of Clinical Varicocele
Background Despite the long history associated with varicocele, it remains one of the most controversial issues in the field of Andrology. The main base of this is our current understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease. This has hampered treatment and management of varicocele, especially regarding why, when and to whom varicocelectomy should be applied. The main molecular pathology of...
متن کاملTestosterone-mediated immune functions and male life histories.
Recent advances in human life history theory have provided new insights into the potential selection pressures that were instrumental in the evolution of human and non-human primate males. However, gaps remain in our understanding of how primate males regulate and allocate energetic resources between survivorship and reproductive effort. Defense against parasitic infection is an important force...
