objective: asphyxia  is  a  major  cause  of  acute  mortality  and  chronic  neurologic  disability  in  neonates. we sought to  define  the  predictive  values  of  serum  concentrations  of  interleukin-1β  in  newborns  with perinatal asphyxia to see if there is a relation between interleukin-1β (il-1β) levels to the short term neurological deficit.  methods: this was a prospective (case-co...

objective(s) cytokines such as il-1β are involved in inflammatory responses. this study evaluated the role of two different kinds of drugs (ibuprofen and celecoxib) on brain il-10 and il-1β after traumatic brain injury (tbi) in male rats. materials and methods rats were assigned into 6 groups: intact, sham, tbi, and treated rats with vehicle, celecoxib or iboprophen. cytokine concentrations wer...

recent studies have established that sex hormones directly or indirectly affect t and b cells and macrophages by manipulating the production of cytokines. in this study the possibility of the effect of 5a-dht on macrophage (mφ) nitric oxide (no) release via interleukin-l, 6 (ll-1β, il-6) or tumor necrosis factor-a (tnfα) was investigated. the endogenous cytokines il-1β, il-6 and tnf-α were neut...

Objective: Stevioside is a natural non-caloric sweetener which has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity.  The aim of  the present study was to examine in vitro and in vivo effects of  stevioside on rats  plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α),  interleukin-1β (IL-1β), TNF-α and IL-1β release from lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated rat peripheral blood mononuclear cells (P...

Objective(s) Cytokines such as IL-1β are involved in inflammatory responses. This study evaluated the role of two different kinds of drugs (ibuprofen and celecoxib) on brain IL-10 and IL-1β after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in male rats. Materials and Methods Rats were assigned into 6 groups: intact, sham, TBI, and treated rats with vehicle, celecoxib or iboprophen. Cytokine concentrations ...

background and aims: kindling is regarded as an experimental model of temporal lobe epilepsy that reflects a process of progressive and persistent intensification of seizure. experimental and clinical evidence suggest that there is an interrelationship among epileptogenesis, local inflammation and antioxidant activity. in this study, the possible antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of thy...

Background Gout is a chronic inflammatory disease featuring the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in synovial fluid patients, followed by NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome activation bioactive IL-1β release, which recruits neutrophils to local inflammation sites. Blocking function becoming potent therapeutic approach for gout gouty arthritis. Conv...

Recent studies have established that sex hormones directly or indirectly affect T and B cells and macrophages by manipulating the production of cytokines. In this study the possibility of the effect of 5a-DHT on macrophage (MΦ) nitric oxide (NO) release via interleukin-l, 6 (lL-1β, IL-6) or tumor necrosis factor-a (TNFα) was investigated. The endogenous cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were ...

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has a role in β- cell destruction in autoimmune diabetes by stimulating the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) that generates the free radical nitric oxide. We aimed to investigate the effect of Achillea millefolium L, as a traditional hypoglycemic agent, on IL-1β and iNOS gene expression of pancreatic tissue in the STZ- induced diabetic rats. Forty adul...
