this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of electrolyte dietary balance (deb) on performance and immune function of broiler chickens reared under the heat stress condition. three hundred oneday chickens were distributed randomly in 25 separate pens with 12 chicks in each. this experiment was in the form of a completely randomized design with five treatments and five r...

obesity is characterized as a state of systemic low-grade inflammation suggesting a link between metabolism and immune function. obesity has been shown to predispose individuals to an increased risk of many diseases.since 1980s, a threefold increase in obesity has been reported in much of the world.obesity is a result of energy imbalance. one of the components that control energy balance is adi...

The immune system plays a pivotal role against cancer. The development of a successful immune response involves the balance between the Th1 (antitumor) and Th2 (protumor) responses. Once this balance is lost, diseases such as cancer may become apparent. Surgical stress, volatile anaesthetics, opioids and blood transfusions are known to favour a Th2 response that manifests as immune suppression....

The immune balance controlled by T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2) is crucial for immunoregulation and its imbalance causes various immune diseases including allergic asthma. Therefore, diagnosis of Th1/Th2 balance in autoimmune diseases including asthma is essential for the application of immune balance regulating drugs. Th1/Th2 balance is not only controlled by Th1 cells and Th2 cells, bu...
