Immune mechanisms in atherosclerosis.
To summarize, it is possible that T cell activation in the plaque has four different effects: a direct inhibition of smooth muscle proliferation mediated by IFN-gamma, an indirect stimulation of smooth muscle proliferation via IFN-induced macrophage activation, an induction of responsiveness to PDGF by induction of PDGF receptor expression, and finally, an up-regulation of HDL receptors. The ne...
متن کاملInflammatory mechanisms in atherosclerosis.
Throughout the last two decades inflammation has been recognized as the central mechanism underlying atherogenesis. A multitude of basic science work demonstrates the pivotal role of inflammatory processes during every step of atherosclerotic plaque formation: From initiation via propagation to complication. This review describes some of the key mechanisms involved with a particular focus on th...
متن کاملHormonal mechanisms of cooperative behaviour.
Research on the diversity, evolution and stability of cooperative behaviour has generated a considerable body of work. As concepts simplify the real world, theoretical solutions are typically also simple. Real behaviour, in contrast, is often much more diverse. Such diversity, which is increasingly acknowledged to help in stabilizing cooperative outcomes, warrants detailed research about the pr...
متن کاملNeural and hormonal mechanisms regulating food intake.
In this outline of the neural control of food intake, no attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive survey of the literature since there are several symposia and reviews available which summarize the extensive work in this field (Grossman, 1975; Novin et al. 1976; Silverstone, 1976; Morgane & Panksepp, 1980; Hoebel & Novin, 1982). Instead some current concepts of the neural control of foo...
متن کاملHormonal Birth Control and Abortifacient Mechanisms
Recently, there has been a growing controversy, especially among evangelicals, over whether the birth control pill might have an abortifacient mechanism that sometimes causes early chemical abortions. An understanding of this controversy necessitates a clear definition of abortion, abortifacient, pregnancy, implantation, and especially personhood. If a zygote (fertilized egg) is not a person, t...
