Regular exercise offers protection against all-cause mortality, primarily by protection against cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The latter disorders have been associated with chronic low-grade systemic inflammation reflected by a two- to threefold elevated level of several cytokines. Adipose tissue contributes to the production of TNF-alpha, which is reflected by elevated l...

The use of therapeutic ultrasound within the Health Service is widespread and growing. The most common indication is to reduce inflammation. We have tested the influence of ultrasound on a model of acute inflammation in the rat, and we have found a complete absence of any anti-inflammatory action.

S 1007 A total of 141 subjects, 61 to 97, with ENDOTHELIAL SYSTEM IN RABBITS. E. Mietkiewski and B. KofmirSski. From the School of Medicine, Szczecin, Poland. Acta Physiol. Pol. 19: 163-169, 1968. Phagocytosis of Congo Red was used as an indicator of activity of the RES in rabbits. A decrease in phagocytic activity was observed after ultraviolet irradiation. The possible mechanism was discussed...

In the present study, anti-anaphylactic, anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilizing properties of a lupine alkaloid plumerianine (compound 1), isolated from the root bark of Plumeria acutifolia Poir were investigated in animal models. The anti-anaphylactic activity of compound 1 (10, 25 and 50 mg/Kg) was studied by using models such as passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, passive paw anaphylaxis and ...

objective(s): occludin is essential for proper assembly of tight junctions (tjs) which regulate paracellular endothelial permeability. omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 pufa) protect endothelial barrier function against injury. materials and methods: we examined anti-inflammatory effect of ω-3 pufa intake (30 mg/kg/day for 10 days) on expression and location of occludin in the aorta of a...

background and aim: the purpose of this study is to compare the effect of ledermix® paste and green tea extract on the concentration of inflammatory mediators. materials and methods: in this in-vitro experimental study, first, the noncytotoxic concentrations of ledermix® medicament and green tea extract were determined by mtt assay. afterwards, the concentrations of il-1β, il-6, and tnf-α infla...

introduction: knee osteoarthrosis is one of the most debilitating diseases. prolotherapy includes intraarticular injection of various drugs to decrease inflammation. injection of intradiscal o2-o3 has reduced pain and disability of patients with low back pain due to prolapsed lumbar disk. objective: to compare the effect of intraarticular injection of ozone and steroids in improvement of clinic...
