Human interleukin-4 possesses two distinct sites for receptor activation. A signalling site, comprising residues near the C-terminus on helix D, determines the efficacy of interleukin-4 signal transduction without affecting the binding to the interleukin-4 receptor alpha subunit. A complete antagonist and a series of low-efficacy agonist variants of human interleukin-4 could be generated by int...

RATIONALE The chemokine interleukin-8 is implicated in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants. The 77-amino acid isoform of interleukin-8 (interleukin-877) is a less potent chemoattractant than other shorter isoforms. Although interleukin-877 is abundant in the preterm circulation, its regulation in the preterm lung is unknown. OBJECTIVES To study expression and proc...

background: testicular torsion is a medical emergency that requires surgical intervention to reperfuse the affected testis. ischemia reperfusion injury is usually associated with proinflammatory cytokine generation and apoptosis of germ cells in the testes.objective: in this study we investigate the effect of ghrelin on the proinflammatory cytokines levels and germ cell apoptosis in testicular ...
