conclusions moderate exercise for 8 weeks increased the ifn-γ and decreased the il-17 serum levels in the morphine-dependent rats. for this reason, this type of exercise can improve the function of the immune system during morphine withdrawal syndrome. results after 8 weeks of exercise, a significant increase was observed in the serum ifn-γ level in the ht group (251.17 ± 13.045) in comparison ...

Members of gram-negative bacteria family Pasteurellaceae, include a large number of important economically human and veterinary pathogens. Organisms belonging to the family can colonize in mucosal surfaces of the respiratory, alimentary, genital tracts and cause diseases in various mammals, birds, and reptiles. Hemorrhagic septicemia is an acute disease of cattle and buffaloes in tropi...

HIGHLIGHTS Brown propolis from Southwest of Parana modulated pacu immune system. Dietary supplementation extract increased fish serum lysozyme concentration. circulating organic defense cells. did not cause toxic effects on pacu.

Background and Objectives: Complement proteins are some of the most important plasma proteins of the innate immune system. Impaired immune function is reported in subjects who are iron deficient, and there are documents that these patients are prone to infection. This study was conducted to show whether serum C3 and C4 complement change in adult nonpregnant female with iron deficient anemia or ...

1. Complement is not fixed by immune aggregates resulting from the interaction of pneumococcus capsular polysaccharide and type-specific immune horse serum, although under proper conditions the substitution of immune rabbit serum gives positive results. 2. The negative results with immune horse serum are due to some poorly understood property of the specific antibodies rather than to some heter...

Studies have been conducted on the effect of immune serum upon a strain of human influenza virus (PR8) grown in chick embryo tissue culture medium. The results have demonstrated (a) that when cells are exposed to the action of immune serum of high titer and subsequently washed freely, these cells support the growth of virus as well as cells treated with normal serum; (b) that, in agreement with...

background: occurrence of resistance against antibioticsand inadequate efficacy of some vaccines necessitates studies ofnatural immunostimulators in aquaculture. shrimps shell derivedfrom chitosan can be used as immune stimulators in fish.objectives: in this study, the effects of oral administration ofchitosan, derived from shrimp shell, on some immune responsesand disease resistance in cyprinu...
