lactic acid/inflammation

The anti-inflammatory effects of lactic acid derivatives were investigated on ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated HaCaT human keratinocytes. A pretreatment with indole-3-lactic acid (ILA) and 4-hydroxyphenyllactic acid (HPLA) inhibited the UVB-induced production of interlekin-6 (IL-6). The inhibitory

Mucous-penetrating nanoparticles consisting of poly lactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-polyethylene glycol (PEG) could improve targeting of microbicidal drugs for sexually transmitted diseases by intravaginal inoculation. Nanoparticles can induce inflammatory responses, which may exacerbate the

Some species of lactic acid bacteria have been shown to be beneficial in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In the present study, a strain of lactic acid bacterium (Lactobacillus paracasei LS2) was isolated from the Korean food, kimchi, and was shown to inhibit the development of experimental colitis

Non-live probiotic bacteria and their fermentation products can be used in milk-based formula intended for healthy infants. The effects of a milk formula fermented with Bifidobacterium breve and Streptococcus thermophilus and heated/dehydrated to inactivate the micro-organisms have been reported

Triptolide (TP), which has potent immunosuppressive effects, anti-inflammatory and severe toxicity on digestive, urogenital, blood circulatory system, was used as a model drug in this study. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of complete Freund's adjuvant-induced

The purpose of this research was to investigate the potential of surface modified Poly (l-lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres as a carrier for site-specific delivery of anti-inflammatory drug, ketoprofen, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation method

Inflammatory response of implantable biomaterials and drug delivery vehicles, driven by the reaction of macrophages to foreign body particles released from the implant, is an urgent problem to resolve. Despite this, little is known about the inflammatory molecular mechanism following the

One of the main goals in the galenic development of innovative topical treatment options for inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis is to selectively deliver the drug at the inflammation site. Recent studies have highlighted the beneficial use of polymeric nanoparticles

Culture of thioglycollate-elicited rat peritoneal macrophages in the presence of derivatized, non-ingestible, bovine CNS material results in a release of the lysosomal marker enzyme beta-glucuronidase that is both dose- and time-dependent. Concomitant with enzyme secretion, lactic acid is secreted

Salmonella enterica Javiana is a leading cause of severe foodborne Salmonellosis. Despite its emergence as a major foodborne pathogen, little is known of how S. Javiana interacts with intestinal epithelial cells, or of potential methods for ameliorating the bacterial-host interaction. Using

OBJECTIVE Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) based bioabsorbable stents with or without amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) were implanted and compared the inflammation in coronary arteries. METHODS 6 PLLA and 6 PLLA/ACP based paclitaxel-eluting stents were randomly implanted into the coronary arteries of 12

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of dimerumic acid (DMA) on receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) signal activation and THP-1 monocyte inflammation treated with S100b, a specific ligand of RAGE. We found that DMA inhibited inflammatory cytokine production via upregulation

A strain of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus paracasei KW3110 (KW3110), activates M2 macrophages with anti-inflammatory reactions and mitigates aging-related chronic inflammation and blue-light exposure-induced retinal inflammation in mice. However, the mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory

BACKGROUND The prevalence of prostatitis is extremely high, with vast majority belongs to National Institutes of Health Category III: Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes (CPPS). The etiology of CP/CPPS is noninfectious, with no precise mechanisms has been elucidated to

Several lactic acid bacteria (LAB) demonstrably regulate the immune system and inhibit allergic disease. This study examined whether oral feeding of either Lactobacillus paracasei (L. paracasei) BB5 and/or Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) BB1 suppresses ovalbumin (OVA)-induced airway
