Prostaglandins and leprosy. A role for aspirin?
نویسنده
چکیده
Prostaglandins not only have a role in inflammation, but may also be involved as mediators in the immune response. Drugs which affect prostaglandin synthesis may therefore be potential tools with which to modulate disturbed immunity. These possibilities are discussed with reference to immunity in leprosy, and in particular reversal reactions.

It is a well-established fact that adenosine and its receptor subtypes (A 1 and A ) are involved in changes of contractility, heart rate and coronary blood flow (CBF) under different circumstances. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of nitric oxide and prostaglandins in development of these changes. For this purpose, Nitro-L-Arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and indomethacin as inhibit...
متن کاملRole of pentoxyphiline in stroke prevention
Anti-platelet agents such as aspirin and dipyridamole are main factors to prevent stroke in high-risk people. Pentoxyphiline has been reported as a red blood cell aggregation antagonist to prevent stroke. We evaluated the role of pento-xyphiline as an adjunct therapy to decrease risk of stroke in patients who were under treatment with aspirin or dipyridamole. A 5-years open labeled clinical tri...
متن کاملA role for prostaglandins and thromboxanes in the exposure of platelet fibrinogen receptors.
Exposure of fibrinogen receptors by a variety of agonists is a prerequisite for platelet aggregation. Because the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane A2 also occurs during platelet aggregation we wondered whether these agents participate in the exposure of platelet fibrinogen receptors. Therefore, we measured the binding of human 125I-fibrinogen to gel-filtered normal human platelets af...
