Today, the use of oak as a replacement feed in poultry diets is well documented. However, oak contains polyphenol compounds (tannins) as antinutrient factors resulted in limited usage in the poultry rations. Generally, consumption of feeds containing tannin could affect gene expression level of immune system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of ...

Background: Increased levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in acute human brucellosis have been reported. Previous studies have shown that the production and level of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines are associated with the polymorphism of the encoding genes. Objective: To investigate the probable association between IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) gene polymorphisms and susceptib...

To investigate candidate genes that influence the risk of HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), we analyzed 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter region. METHODS: 280 cases of HAM/TSP patients and 255 HTLV-I seropositive asymptomatic carriers (HCs) from Kagoshima, Japan were studied. All subjects gave written informed conse...

background: preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific syndrome that may be life-threatening, especially to the fetus. several causes have been reported that may have a possible role in the development of the disorder. interleukin-10 affect maternal intravascular inflammation, as well as endothelial dysfunction. the aim of this study was to investigate the association between il-10 g-1082a polymorphi...

objective: autoimmune diseases precede a complex dysregulation of the immune system. t helper17 (th17) and interleukin (il)-17 have central roles in initiation of inflammation and subsequent autoimmune diseases. il-27 significantly controls autoimmune diseases by th17 and il-17 suppression. in the present study we have created genetic engineered mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) that mediate with l...
