caproic acid/fever

We investigated whether natriuretic peptide (NP) acts as an endogenous antipyretic inside and/or outside the blood-brain barrier in rats made febrile by systemic administration of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS). Intravenous (i.v.) injection of LPS induced a triphasic fever, the second

Examination of the extracellular products of nephritis(+) and nephritis(-) group A streptococci revealed the presence of a 46-kD protein secreted by nephritogenic strains that binds to human plasmin. Immunological data revealed that this protein, called nephritis plasmin binding protein (NPBP), is

The purpose of this study was to develop a nasal in situ gel system for Radix Bupleuri employing gellan gum as a polymer. Radix Bupleuri in situ gel containing 0.2 mL essential oil extracted from 450 g Radix Bupleuri, proper solubilizing agents and gellan gum (0.5% w/v) was prepared and

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
