Activation of microglia in specific hypothalamic nuclei and the cerebellum of adult rats exposed to neonatal overnutrition
(Blackwell Publishing, 2011)
Much attention has been drawn to the possible involvement of hypothalamic inflammation in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders, especially in response to a high-fat diet. Microglia, the macrophages of the central nervous ...
Immunomodulatory and Inhibitory Effect of Immulina®, and Immunloges® in the Ig-E Mediated Activation of RBL-2H3 Cells. A New Role in Allergic Inflammatory Responses
(MDPI, 2018)
Immulina®, a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide extract from the cyanobacterium
Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) is a potent activator of innate immune cells. On the other hand, it is
well documented that Spirulina ...
Glomerular Hematuria: Cause or Consequence of Renal Inflammation?
(MDPI, 2019)
Glomerular hematuria is a cardinal symptom of renal disease. Glomerular hematuria may be classified as microhematuria or macrohematuria according to the number of red blood cells in urine. Recent evidence suggests a ...
Toll-Like Receptors in Acute Kidney Injury
(MDPI, 2021)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important health problem, affecting 13.3 million individuals/year. It is associated with increased mortality, mainly in low- and middle-income countries, where renal replacement therapy is ...
Ceruloplasmin and Coronary Heart Disease-A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2020)
Several studies indicate that oxidative stress might play a central role in the initiation and maintenance of cardiovascular diseases. It remains unclear whether ceruloplasmin acts as a passive marker of inflammation or ...
Pathogenic Pathways and Therapeutic Approaches Targeting Inflammation in Diabetic Nephropathy
(MDPI, 2020)
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality, resulting in elevated cost for public health systems. DN is the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its incidence increases the ...
Therapeutic Potential and Immunomodulatory Role of Coenzyme Q10 and Its Analogues in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases
(MDPI, 2021)
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a mitochondrial electron carrier and a powerful lipophilic antioxidant located in membranes and plasma lipoproteins. CoQ10 is endogenously synthesized and obtained from the diet, which has raised ...
A Straightforward Cytometry-Based Protocol for the Comprehensive Analysis of the Inflammatory Valve Infiltrate in Aortic Stenosis
(MDPI, 2023)
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a frequent cardiac disease in old individuals, characterized by valvular calcification, fibrosis, and inflammation. Recent studies suggest that AS is an active inflammatory atherosclerotic-like ...
Rab18 drift in lipid droplet and endoplasmic reticulum interactions of adipocytes under obesogenic conditions
(MDPI, 2023)
The adipose tissue stores excess energy in the form of neutral lipids within adipocyte lipid droplets (LDs). The correct function of LDs requires the interaction with other organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum ...
Journal article resistin regulates pituitary somatotrope cell function through the activation of multiple signaling pathways
(Endocrine Society, 2009)
The adipokine resistin is an insulin-antagonizing factor that also plays a regulatory role in inflammation, immunity, food intake, and gonadal function. Although adipose tissue is the primary source of resistin, it is also ...
