phosphatidyl choline/necrosis

The elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) have been found in the fluid of airways in symptomatic asthmatics. These cytokines have been considered as mitogens to stimulate cell proliferation in tracheal smooth

Anti-phosphatidyl choline antibodies (alphaPC) have been measured in adult patients from Orissa, India with Plasmodium falciparum infection of varying clinical severity. Significantly raised levels of alphaPC were observed in infected individuals in comparison with controls. The IgG alphaPC were

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of reconstituted human high density lipoprotein (rHDL) on physiologic and cytokine responses to infusion of lipopolysaccharide. METHODS A blinded, randomized trial of three preparations of a purified human rHDL with apolipoprotein A-I-phosphatidyl

Stimulation of [3H]-arachidonic acid labeled human synovial cells with 3.0 X 10(-10)M recombinant interleukin-1 or tumor necrosis factor resulted in the release of incorporated radiolabel (41.1% and 27.7% respectively). Analysis of [3H]-arachidonic acid labeled phospholipids showed that

The effect of (0.05 ng ml-1 and 0.1 ng ml(-1)) TNF alpha on the phospholipid metabolism of Tetrahymena pyriformis was studied. The amount of phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidyl inositol (PI), phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), diacylglycerol (DAG), arachidonic acid (AA) and

Paraquat causes focal intracellular oedema of the terminal bronchiolar epithelial cells and focal subpleural atelectasis with thickening of the interalveolar septa 1 hr after the administration of an LD50. These changes are progressive, and lead to panacinar atelectasis with necrosis plus sloughing

The fatty acid composition of phospholipids and triglycerides in heart muscle was examined in normal and alloxan-diabetic male Wistar rats. In diabetes the major phospholipids, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine, showed significant changes in fatty acid composition, whereas

Psoriasis, a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)-governed inflammatory disorder with prominent dysregulation of cutaneous vascular functions, has evolved into a model disorder for studying anti-inflammatory therapies. We present experimental in vitro and in vivo data on

BACKGROUND Drug-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis and acute tubular necrosis are common, and are often caused by drugs especially antibiotics or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Drug-induced liver dysfunction and renal failure after subcutaneous injection of phosphatidylcholine was not

Myocardial infarction (MI) and subsequent progressive heart failure pathology is the major cause of death worldwide; however, the mechanism of this pathology remains unclear. The present work aimed at testing the hypothesis whether the inflammatory response is superimposed with the formation of

For 16 wk Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolts were fed practical-type diets that contained either fish oil (FO) or sunflower oil (SO) as the lipid component. Both diets contained adequate (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). All the phospholipids of heart and liver from SO-fed fish had

We previously showed that folate liposomes of 5FU made from Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) induced cell death in HT-29 and HeLa cells more potently than bulk 5FU. Also, a primary 5FU liposomal formulation with phosphatidyl choline (PC) exhibited higher cytotoxicity in murine colon cancer
