... response to influence the immune response at the periphery and restore homeostasis. In the context of ageing and chronic neurodegeneration, adaptive changes to acute insults are characterized by exaggerated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by primed microglia coupled with dysfunction of brain...

...Andrzej M. Stanisz In this minireview we will discuss some evidence suggesting that the immune response is under neuronal regulation. In particular, we will concentrate on the effects that various neuropeptides have on immunity both in vitro and in vivo. Of these,vasoactive intestinal peptide...

...P. Petrovicky; Karel Masek; J. Seifert On the basis of our previous investigations concerning the influence of some central nervous system structures on the immune reaction, we have shown the existence of a brain regulatory system for immune response (BRSIR). We have investigated this BRSIR using...

..., sex steroids and factors associated with them regulate the immune response. In this way, endocrine and immunologic factors have an impact on the pregnant female’s susceptibility or resistance to parasitic diseases. There are three main mechanisms proposed to explain this susceptibility or resistance...

... evidence suggests that helminth parasites not only actively evade immune response, but are also able to exploit the hormonal microenvironment within their host to favor their establishment, growth and reproduction. This complex strategy of host-parasite relationship is much better exemplified by two...

... antigenic stimulation, it has been hypothesized that the HPA axis is involved in a feedback mechanism which limits lymphocyte expansion linked to the immune response. However, such a stimulation of the HPA axis after immunization is not consistently reported in the literature. In the present experiments, we...
