Household poisons can cause serious damage to the health of children. Turpentine oil, used chiefly as a solvent in paints, varnishes, and waxes; is often placed within easy reach of children during polishing or painting work. It is capable of causing serious toxicity, whether ingested or inhaled.
The involvement of endogenous tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the pyrogenic [i.e., rise in colonic temperature (Tc)] and thermogenic [increase in oxygen consumption (VO2)] responses to inflammation was investigated in rats subjected to an intramuscular injection of turpentine. Turpentine
Serum concentration and glycosylation of rat alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1-AGP) were evaluated after the in vivo administration of recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (rhIL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (rhTNF-alpha), alone or associated. The effect of LPS and turpentine was also
We examined the effects of injections of systemic [lipopolysaccharide (LPS), 2.5 mg/kg or 50 pg/kg ip] or local (turpentine, 100 microl sc) inflammatory stimuli on fever, motor activity, body weight, and food intake in tumor necrosis factor (TNF) double receptor (TNFR)-knockout mice. A high dose of
Interleukin-6 (IL-6), among other cytokines, is thought to be involved in the regulation of sickness behavior (e.g., anorexia, cachexia, fever, and lethargy) induced by infections bacterial and viral origin) and sterile tissue necrosis (burns and surgical traumas). Mice deficient in IL-6 (IL-6 KO)
Turpentine-induced skin lesions in young American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) kept at 25 C were used to study inflammatory response in a reptile. Skin harvested at intervals between 4 hours and 30 days after inoculations were done had no gross changes until days 24 to 26, when
Inflammation reduces activity and expression of hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450) and therefore diminishes drug biotransformation. This study aimed to identify the serum mediators triggered by a viral infection and an aseptic inflammation that downregulate P450 isoforms. Incubation of hepatocytes with
The present study tested the hypothesis that the cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is an important CNS mediator of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis response to local inflammation in the rat. Recombinant murine TNF-alpha administered directly into the cerebroventricles of
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) has been reported to be an acute-phase protein. LBP binds to LPS with a high affinity; LPS-LBP complexes then interact with the receptor CD14, resulting in increased expression of LPS-inducible genes. Hepatocytes represent a major source of LBP, but
To measure interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like activities in canine serum, bioassays were conducted using human melanoma A375S1, IL-6 dependent murine hybridoma MH60.BSF2, and WEHI 164 murine sarcoma subclone 28-4. Clinically normal adult beagles were experimentally
It is proposed that interleukin 1 (IL 1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha play central roles in the host's response to inflammation. Yet circulating concentrations have not been frequently measured in many inflammatory states. Serum levels of IL 1 and TNF were evaluated in mice with a tumor,
Heavy metal pollution is rapidly increasing in the environment. It has been shown that exposure to vanadium and chromium is able to alter the immune response. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which these metal pollutants mediate their immunomodulatory effects are not completely understood. Herein, we
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) has been shown to mediate lipopolysaccharide-induced neutrophil adhesion to liver sinusoidal endothelium in vivo. Female NMRI mice received either 5 micrograms lipopolysaccharide (R595) per animal alone (model A) or together with 116 mumol D-galactosamine (model B). One
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is usually referred to as a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a central role in initiating the cascade of other cytokines and factors for an appropriate immune response to infection. Like systemic phagocytes, recent studies have reported that specific cellular
The hepatocytoprotective effect of acute, turpentine-induced inflammation on experimental liver injury, caused by thioacetamide and D-galactosamine, respectively, was studied in relation to the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and of heparan sulphate in hepatocytes isolated from livers of treated
