The role of alveolar macrophages in the production of granulocyte/ macrophage colony-stimulating factor(s) by the rat lung was investigated. Lavaged lungs, when incubated at proper weight per volume of culture medium, produced the same amount of colony-stimulating factor as unlavaged ones. Both lavaged and unlavaged lungs produced similar types of colony-stimulating factor (s). Prolonged i...

allergic rhinitis is a chronic respiratory disease. sympathetic hypofunction is identified in all of the allergic rhinitis patients. moreover, allergic rhinitis is associated with decreased peak nasal inspiratory flow (pnif) and impaired lung functions. the aim of this study was to investigate effects of six-week of aquatic exercise on the autonomic nervous system function, pnif and lung functi...

objective: the effects of natural adjuvants were examined on total and differential wbc counts in lung lavage of sensitized guinea pigs. materials and methods: in three sensitized groups of guinea pigs including: untreated sensitized animals (s), sensitized animals treated with adjuvant g2 (s+g2) and g2f (s+g2f) as well as non-sensitized group (c) (n=6 for each group), total and differential wb...

objective(s): to investigate the chronopharmacological effects of growth hormone on executive function and the oxidative stress response in rats. materials and methods: fifty male wistar rats (36-40 weeks old) had ad libitum access to water and food and were separated into four groups: diurnal control, nocturnal control, diurnal gh-treated, and nocturnal gh-treated animals. levels of cu, zn sup...

objective: inflammation is one of the major components of asthma. our aim was to evaluate the effects of c. sativus extract on total and differential white blood cells (wbc) count in lung lavage fluid (llf) of ovalbumin-sensitized rats. materials and methods: forty rats were divided into five groups (n = 8 for each group) as control (c), sensitized with injection and inhalation of ovalbumin (oa...

in the present paper, we shall attempt to make a contribution to approximate analytical evaluation of the harmonic decomposition of an arbitrary continuous function. the basic assumption is that the class of functions that we investigate here, except the verification of dirichlet's principles, is concurrently able to be expanded in taylor's representation, over a particular interval o...
