... in the conspecifics as a consequence of stress-induced activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) with catecholamine release. In the current study, the nonspecific β-AR blocker d,l -propranolol and the specific β 2 -AR blocker ICI-118.551 were employed as pharmacological tools to assess the extent to which...

...Hui-Wei Huang; Xiao-Xia Fang; Xiao-Qin Wang; Yu-Ping Peng; Yi-Hua Qiu Objective: Recently, we have reported that lymphocyte-derived endogenous catecholamines (CAs) facilitate a shift in the T helper (Th)1/Th2 balance towards Th2. The purpose of this study was to explore the involvement...

... Social interaction Catecholamines Neutrophils Social interactions are a fundamental and adaptive component of the biology of numerous species. Social recognition is critical for the structure and stability of the networks and relationship that define societies. For animals, e.g. mice...

...Hui-Wei Huang; Jian-Lei Tang; Xin-Hua Han; Yu-Ping Peng; Yi-Hua Qiu Aims: Our previous work has shown that lymphocytes synthesize and secrete catecholamines (CAs), which regulate lymphocyte proliferation and apoptosis. In the present study, we explored the effect of the lymphocyte-derived CAs...

... and mortality from infectious, malignant and autoimmune diseases in old age. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to understand the thymic homeostatic processes across the life span, as well as to identify factors and elucidate mechanisms driving or contributing to the thymic involution. Catecholamines (CAs...

... in Peyer’s patches (PPs) as well as the effects of glucocorticoid and catecholamine administration on the same stress-related parameters. Upon analyzing the effect of repeated restraint stress on PPs, it was found that there was no modification in the morphological structure of the PPs but that restraint...

... with an increase in plasma concentrations of corticosterone and catecholamines following the cold stress. In order to verify whether these hormone changes could account for the observed effects on phagocytosis, we performed in vitro assays by incubating macrophages harvested from nonstressed animals...

... stress (4°C for 4 h) and the capacity of peritoneal macrophages to phagocyte apoptotic thymocytes and to secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines was evaluated. Plasma corticosterone and catecholamine levels were investigated to assess their effect on the phagocytic capacity of macrophages in vitro. Results...

..., and IL-4 (ELISA) were evaluated. Parallel determinations were also made of serum or plasma concentrations of catecholamines (HPLC) and cortisol, oestradiol, and progesterone (electrochemiluminescence immunoassay). Results: Both exercise intensities increased chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and microbicide...

...Gordana Leposavić; Milica Perišić The present review summarizes recent data on age-related thymic changes termed thymic involution, and highlights the putative role of perturbances in extrathymical and, possibly, intrathymical production of gonadal steroids and catecholamines in this process...
