Effect of proteinase inhibitors on the carrageenin-induced inflammation was studied. The formation of granulation tissue was markedly inhibited by a single injection of epsilon-amino-n-caproic acid n-hexyl ester (EACA hexyl ester, 300 mg/kg) into the carrageenin-airpouch immediately after
Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) chemotaxis was tested during exposure to leukocyte and platelet extracts, a variety of polyelectrolytes, inflammatory exudates, and bacterial products. The chemoattractants employed were either zymosan-activated serum or supernatant from autolyzed
OBJECTIVE
To investigate dietary effects on the gut microbiota composition in a rat model of nonbacterial chronic prostate inflammation (CPI).
METHODS
Nonbacterial CPI was induced in the Wistar rat strain with subcutaneous testosterone and 17β-oestradiol (E2 ) hormone pellets for 18 weeks. Rats with
The obesity epidemic increases the interest to elucidate impact of short-chain fatty acids on metabolism, obesity, and the brain. We investigated the effects of propionic acid (PA) and caproic acid (CA) on metabolic risk factors, liver and adipose tissue pathology, brain function, structure (by
Background: Butyric acid (BA) is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) with anti-inflammatory properties, which promotes intestinal barrier function. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), including caproic acid (CA), promote TH1 and TH17 differentiation, thus supporting inflammation. Aim: Since
Gelatinase, elastase and cathepsin G isolated from the granule extract of rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) had similar properties to the enzymes of human PMNs already reported. Effect of proteinase inhibitors on these neutral proteinases isolated from rat PMNs was studied.
Ingested dietary fibres are hydrolysed by colon microbiota to produce energy-providing short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) that stimulate anti-inflammatory effects. SCFA-producing bacteria were screened from bacteria isolated from human faeces using bromothymol blue as an acid indicator and gas
In experimental allergic neuritis (EAN) break-down of myelin is attributed to macrophages, which among other factors contain and secrete proteases. In vitro studies have shown that cathepsin D, an acidic aspartyl endopeptidase, and plasmin can degrade myelin proteins. In order to elucidate a
The relationship between volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in pus and infecting bacterial species was examined in order to establish a rapid identification system for anaerobic microorganisms in purulent inflammation in the oro-maxillary region. VFAs were detected by the direct injection of pus into
Microecological "failures" are an important pathogenetic factor of different diseases and, in the authors' opinion, periodic disease (PD) is one of them. PD is a recessive disease characterized by fever attacks and neutrophil-mediated serous inflammation. A genetic factor has been established to be
An in vitro model was employed to study the potential role of streptococcal extra-cellular products, rich in streptolysin O, in cellular injury as related to streptococcal infections and post-streptococcal sequelae. Extra-cellular products (EXPA) rich in streptolysin O were isolated from type 4,
Subject material for this study was pus collected from patients with purulent inflammation in the oro-maxillary region. Direct gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) analysis was made, bacterial isolation and identification were carried out, and comparisons were made with results from GLC analysis and
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious healthcare dilemma, associated with specific changes in gut microbiota and circulating metabolome. Yet, the functional capacity of CKD microbiome and its intricate relationship with the host metabolism at different stages of disease are less The regulation of plasmin generation on cell surfaces is of critical importance in the control of vascular homeostasis. Cell-derived microparticles participate in the dissemination of biological activities. However, their capacity to promote plasmin generation has not been documented. In this study,
The pathogenesis of inflammatory periodontal disease was studied by examining the mechanism of HeLa and HL60 cell growth inhibition by cell-free saline-soluble extracts of Eikenella corrodens and bacterial plaque. Previous studies identified a protein (p80) as causing growth inhibition by E.
