Poor neurological outcome in preterm infants is associated with periventricular white matter damage and hypomyelination, often caused by perinatal inflammation, hypoxia-ischemia, and hyperoxia. Minocycline has been demonstrated in animal models to protect the immature brain against inflammation and

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability and produces a wide range of cognitive, emotional, and physical consequences. The impact of TBI on cognition is among the most important questions in this field but remains incompletely understood. The immediate cognitive effects of

Pro-inflammatory alterations of white adipose tissue (WAT) with increasing age play an important role in mammalian aging. WAT produced eotaxin-1 [CCL11--C-C motif chemokine ligand 11) and MCP-1 [CCL2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2] are elevated in old mammals. Obese and old adipose tissue produce

MitoNEET is an outer mitochondrial membrane protein that, upon overexpression in white adipose tissue (WAT), exerts a positive impact on tissue expansion and whole-body lipid and carbohydrate homeostasis by altering mitochondrial matrix iron metabolism. Here we determine the key transcriptional

Persistent inflammatory conditions can have severe pathological consequences. Although the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is effective, it has side effects, particularly at the gastrointestinal level. There is then a high interest to identify natural anti-inflammatory compounds

OBJECTIVE To analyze the data available on the biologic significance of white blood cells (WBC) in semen of infertility patients. METHODS The relevant literature was reviewed. RESULTS It is not possible to identify reliably WBC by conventional sperm staining techniques. The peroxidase method is
