mast cells are a heterogeneous population of granulocytic cells in the immune system. mast cell granules contain numerous mediators, including neurotransmitters, cytokines, chemokines and lipid-derived factors. in addition to their well-known role in immune inflammation, the presence of mast cells in the meninges and perivascular space in the central nervous system points to their role in brain...

the pollutants due to effect on the immune system of fish increase fish sensitivity to pathogens. diazinon is one of the most used organophosphates pesticide in many agricultural areas. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of diazinon on the immune system of rainbow trout ( oncorhynchus mykiss ) and application of milk thistle plant, vitis vinifera extract to reduce the adverse effects of th...
