Vascular permeability factor (VPF) is mitogenic for bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells, whereas tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is cytostatic and was found to completely block the mitogenic response to VPF. In contrast to the apparently antagonistic mitogenic effects that these two factors elicit,
Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) is a natural compound with the potential to be used as an immunoenhancer in cases in which the immune system is compromised. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of this compound on the immune function of healthy adults aged 50 years or more.
Fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were chronically exposed to 5 nM tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF). This resulted in the development of an insulin resistance based on the inability of insulin to stimulate hexose uptake. Western blot analysis for glucose transporter protein in isolated
Alterations of glucose metabolism and the oxidation of glutamine and palmitate were studied, by using specifically labelled substrates, in freshly isolated Kupffer cells and hepatic endothelial cells after infusion in vivo of human recombinant tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF; 7.5 x 10(5) IU/30 min
In the present study, the ability of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) to stimulate hexose transport in quiescent 3T3-L1 fibroblasts has been examined. Activation of transport occurred in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with maximal stimulation (6-8-fold) observed 16 h after exposure to 2.5 nM
We have examined the ability of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) to stimulate hexose transport in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. Activation of transport occurred in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with maximal stimulation (fourfold) occurring approximately 15 hours after exposure to 2.5 nM TNF. The protein
Despite numerous reports, the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function remains controversial. We found TNF to be a potent, pertussis toxin-independent stimulator of PMN adhesion (ED50 2.6 pM). TNF-stimulated PMN under adherent conditions released up to 65% of
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and cAMP stimulate hexose transport in quiescent 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by stabilizing the relatively labile mRNA coding for the basal glucose transporter, GLUT-1. The 3'-UTR of GLUT-1 mRNA contains a single copy of the
Local destruction of malignant growths was achieved rapidly by creating around their cells a strongly hypertonic environment. Various hexoses, injected in and around tumors at 37 degrees, were utilized to produce the osmotic disturbance. Homeostatic correction of the osmotic disturbance was
BACKGROUND
Infection is a serious, costly, and common complication of surgery and constitutes the principal cause of late death in patients undergoing surgery. The objective of this study was to clarify the mechanisms by which active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) increases survival in a murine
A cold-induced stress mouse model for investigating chlamydia genital infection and immune response analysis was established in our laboratory. Previous results showed that cold-induced stress results in suppression of the immune response and increased intensity of chlamydia genital infection in the
Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in both cartilage degradation and cell survival. Importantly, NO has been shown, in a cell-type-dependent manner, to directly cause cell death or indirectly promote cell death by compromising the ability of cells to detoxify intra- or extracellular oxidants. In
To investigate the effects of Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) supplementation and the mechanism action of AHCC in patients with alcohol-induced mildly elevated liver enzyme levels, participants were randomly allocated to the placebo, 1 g AHCC, or 3 g AHCC group and took the supplement for
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury of the small intestine is a serious problem in abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery or small intestine transplantation. Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) is a popular anti-inflammatory drug in complementary and alternative medicine. The aim of this Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) is a product prepared from the mycelium of edible Basidiomycete fungi that contains oligosaccharides. Here we have studied the antiinflammatory effect of AHCC in the trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) model of colitis in rats. Rats received AHCC (100 or 500
