l histidine/inflammation

Ascorbic acid and L-histidine were investigated as antioxidant therapies for acute mammary inflammation. Mastitis was induced in eight nonpregnant Holstein cows by intramammary infusion of endotoxin. Treatments were administered in a 4 x 4 Latin square crossover design with 1-wk periods between

Inflammation is a crucial factor in the development of ischemia-induced brain injury. Since facilitation of central histaminergic activity ameliorates reperfusion injury, effects of postischemic administration of L-histidine, a precursor of histamine, and thioperamide, a histamine H3 receptor

Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) catalyses the formation of histamine from L-histidine. Histamine is a biogenic amine involved in many physiological and pathological processes, but its role in the regeneration of skeletal muscles has not been thoroughly clarified. Here, using a murine model of hindlimb

The effect of l-histidine on arachidonic acid metabolism was studied in rabbit splenic fibroblast cultures and human platelets. The noradrenaline-stimulated generation of PGE2 in fibroblast cultures was inhibited by l-histidine dose dependently. In the same way l-histidine diminished the

Metabonomics based on GC-MS was used to study the possible anti-inflammatory mechanisms of volatile oils of Angelica sinensis (VOAS) in rats with acute inflammation. Acute inflammation was induced by subcutaneous injection of carrageenan in rats. The levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ), histamine

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and its surface components were assessed for their inflammatory potential by footpad oedema test using plethysmometer. Inflammation was found to be the highest when outer membrane proteins (OMPs) were used as inflammagen followed by lipid associated

Insoluble complexes of poly-L-histidine (polyhistidine) and catalase were prepared by mixing the two reactants together in solution at pH 5.5 and subsequently elevating the pH to approximately 7.0, at which point they precipitated. Complexes formed at optimal ratios of polyhistidine to catalase

Asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) is heterogeneous in nature and requires a unified diagnostic approach. We investigated the urinary levels of l-histidine, a precursor of histamine related to inflammatory responses, as a new candidate biomarker for diagnosing this condition. We performed a prospective

This review summarizes our studies on the molecular biology of prostaglandin (PG) receptors and L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC). Regarding PG receptors, we have cloned five basic PG receptors (DP, EP, FP, IP, TP) and four EP subtypes (EP1-EP4). The PG receptors are divided into three families

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. A growing body of research focuses on the role of microglia, the primary immune cells in the brain, in modulating brain inflammation and oxidative stress. One of the most abundant

The present study was carried out to investigate the aspirin-and nimesulide-induced alteration in the amino acid L-histidine transport across the intestine. These drugs represent the two groups of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with varying cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) selectivities and

Human blood leukocytes generate intense luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (LDCL) following stimulation by streptococci and by Gram negative rods which had been preopsonized by cationic polyelectrolytes (histone, poly L-arginine-PARG, poly L-histidine-PHSTD). Streptococci but not Gram negative rods

The antitumor effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, tenoxicam and piroxicam, against sarcoma 180 cells cultured in 7-week-old male mice were examined in vitro under ultrasonic irradiation. The survival rate of tumor cells when tenoxicam or piroxicam was added to sarcoma 180 suspension
