Interleukin-4- and Interleukin-13-Mediated Alternatively Activated Macrophages: Roles in Homeostasis and Disease

Interleukin-4- and interleukin-13-mediated alternatively activated macrophages: roles in homeostasis and disease.

The macrophage, a versatile cell type prominently involved in host defense and immunity, assumes a distinct state of alternative activation in the context of polarized type 2 immune responses such as allergic inflammation and helminth infection. This alternatively activated phenotype is induced by the canonical type 2 cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, which mediate expression of several c...

Wrestlers’ immune cells produce higher interleukin-6 and lower interleukin-12 and interleukin-13 in response toin vitro mitogen activation

Objective(s):Although recent investigations have shown chronic inflammation and inflammation-associated diseases might be ameliorated by exercise; little is known about the relation between exercise training with anti/pro-inflammatory cytokines. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted to compare interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-γ) le...

Effects of Interleukin-4 and Interleukin-13 on Bone

resistance training, interleukin-10, lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages.

مقدمه: پرفشارخونی یکی از بیماری­های همراه با بیماری دیابت نوع 2 است که در بیشتر بیماران دیابتی نوع 2 دیده می‌شود. هدف از انجام این تحقیق بررسی اثر ورزش ایروبیک بر روی فشارخون زنان دیابتی نوع 2 است. روش پژوهش: تعداد 32 بیمار دیابتی نوع 2 که دارای فشارخون بالا بودند به صورت تصادفی به دو گروه تقسیم شدند: گروه ورزش ایروبیک (16 نفر) و گروه کنترل (بدون ورزش) (16 نفر)...

Effect of Vitamin D treatment on Interleukin-2 and Interleukin-4 Genes expression in Multiple Sclerosis

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system. The etiology of MS is slightly known, but genetic and environmental factors are reported. Vitamin D regulates gene expression and affects target cell functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression variation of IL-2 and IL-4 genes under vitamin D supplementation in patients with mult...
