...Kenji Kawabe; Katsura Takano; Mitsuaki Moriyama; Yoichi Nakamura Objectives: In peripheral macrophages, tissue-type transglutaminase (TG2) is reported to be involved in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. However, the contribution of TG2 to microglial phagocytosis has not been investigated...

... showed that maternal separation increased neutrophil activity in mice after reaching adulthood. The observed effects, although in the same direction, differed between A/J and C57BL/6 mice. Maternal separation increased both the percentage and intensity of phagocytosis in C57BL/6 mice, but had no effects...

...Gyselle C. Baccan; Renata Sesti-Costa; Silvana Chedraoui-Silva; Bernardo Mantovani Objective: We subjected mice to acute cold stress and studied the effect on phagocytosis by peritoneal macrophages mediated by 3 types of phagocytic receptors: Fcγ, complement receptors 3 (CR3) and mannose and β...

... on the resolution of inflammation in tissue homeostasis, which includes the clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages in a non-phlogistic way. In the present study, we investigated the effect of acute cold stress on the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages. Methods: Mice were submitted to acute cold...

... hormones were also evaluated. Methods: Changes induced by exercise (45 min at 55% VO 2 max vs. 1 h at 70% VO 2 max on a cycle ergometer) in the phagocytic process (chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and microbicide capacity against Candida albicans ) and in serum concentrations of IL-1β, IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-12, IL-6...

..., a decrease in peripheral blood neutrophil oxidative burst and a decrease in the percentage and intensity of neutrophil phagocytosis. It was further found that MDMA (10 mg/kg) treatment also altered leukocyte distribution in blood, bone marrow and spleen. In addition, no effects were observed for MDMA after...

... and percentage of phagocytosis and an increased respiratory burst in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus stimulation in vitro. CSP animals at the same time displayed a decreased resistance to Ehrlich tumor growth. These data were discussed in light of a possible psychological stress effect imposed...

Adrenaline Noradrenaline Neutrophils Macrophages Chemotaxis Phagocytosis Microbicide activity Stress Exercise Neuroimmunomodulation 2007;14:206 212 DOI: 10.1159/000110648 Published online: December...

... in glass cylinders (8 cm in diameter and 24 cm long) during 60 min. Phagocytosis capacity of macrophages was evaluated by either Escherichia coli orzymosan stimuli. Results: Restraint stress induced a decrease in phagocytosis of E. coli and zymosan particle stimulation by macrophages. Neither...

Galoyan Objective: The effects of proline-rich polypeptide (PRP) isolated from neurosecretory granules of bovine neurohypophysis produced by nuclei supraopticus and paraventricularis on phagocytosis, bacterial...
