decarboxylase/fever

The effect of hyperthermia on the activity and the messenger RNA levels of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), which has a rapid rate of turnover in cultured cells, was studied in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. When the cells were incubated at 42 degrees C, elevation of ODC activity by a change of the

The effect of hyperthermia treatments on ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) induction in mouse tissue was determined both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the addition of 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to adult mouse skin pieces incubated at 37 degrees C in serum-free MEM led to a dramatic

Hyperthermia produced a decrease of ornithine decarboxylase activity in different tissues of adult rats. The fall in ornithine decarboxylase was dependent on time of exposure and temperature. The decay of ornithine decarboxylase activity in liver, brain, kidney, heart, spleen and testes was rather

In the rat, there are marked changes in ornithine decarboxylase activity in the fetuses and reproductive tissues during gestation. Exposure of pregnant rats to moderate hyperthermia (40 degrees C, 60 min) produced a marked decrease (about 80%) of ornithine decarboxylase activity in fetuses, uterus

Intraperitoneal administration of a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor benserazide (Ro4-4602) to unanesthetized rats produced alterations in body temperature which depended on ambient temperature. In the cold, hypothermia was brought about by a decrease in metabolic heat production. At room

In previous studies we found that anionic surfactants such as sodium laurate (SL) and/or sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) exert actions on epidermal keratinocytes rather than mast cells to give rise of histamine production and skin itching through increasing the expression of the 53-kDa active form of

Hyperthermia caused an immediate decrease of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. The latter process was most sensitive. Initiation of DNA synthesis at the transition from G1-to S-phase and at the start of new replication units were inhibited. These effects were responsible for the growth delay of cells

OBJECTIVE There have been few studies on the association between childhood autoimmune and rheumatic diseases. Therefore, this study aims to assess the frequency of autoimmune thyroiditis (AT), coeliac disease (CD) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children and adolescents with juvenile

A role of central histamine in the preoptic area/anterior hypothalamus (POA/AH) for the regulation of hyperthermia-induced polypnea was examined in anesthetized, paralyzed, vagotomized and artificially ventilated rabbits. Phrenic nerve activities were recorded to monitor respiratory neuronal output.

OBJECTIVE Febrile seizures (FS) are early-life seizures thought to play a role in epileptogenesis. By labeling cells that were dividing immediately following experimental FS, we previously demonstrated that significantly more of these newborn cells in the dentate gyrus (DG) survived 8 weeks later,
