Intracellular glutathione redox status modulates MCP-1 expression in pulmonary granulomatous vasculitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

A wide spectrum of human lung diseases is characterized by the presence of granulomas. Although understanding of the pathways leading to their development remains incomplete, data from in vitro studies suggest that neutrophils, monocytes, and their secreted products (eg, hydrogen peroxide, H2O2)

Lipid peroxidase and erythrocyte redox system in systemic vasculitides treated with corticoids. Effect of vitamin E administration.

Only registered users can translate articles

The level of plasma lipid peroxidation was followed up in 66 patients with systemic vasculitides with autoimmune pathogeny (SLE and SV) treated with corticoid compounds. The effect of vitamin E associated to this treatment was also studied. The change of the redox cycle, of the red cell glutathione,

Blood glutathione-peroxidase levels in skin diseases: effect of selenium and vitamin E treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Blood glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-Px) was determined in 61 healthy subjects and 506 patients with various skin disorders. Depressed levels were observed in patients with psoriasis, eczema, atopic dermatitis, vasculitis, mycosis fungoides and dermatitis herpetiformis. Low values of GSH-Px were also

Anti-inflammatory effect of glutathione peroxidase on experimental lens-induced uveitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

An acute lens-induced necrotizing intraocular inflammation was produced in Lewis rats. Treatment of these animals by intraperitoneal injection of glutathione peroxidase resulted in marked decrease in uveal inflammation, retinal edema, hemorrhage and vasculitis. Intraperitoneal injection of

Eales' disease: increased oxidation and peroxidation products of membrane constituents chiefly lipids and decreased antioxidant enzymes and reduced glutathione in vitreous.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To measure the levels of oxidation and peroxidation products of membrane constituents chiefly lipids produced by oxygen and lipid free radicals as thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS), reduced glutathione (GSH) and the antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and

Adenosine deaminase enzyme activity is increased and negatively correlates with catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in patients with Behçet's disease: original contributions/clinical and laboratory investigations.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Behçet's disease (BD) is an inflammatory vasculitis with immunologic, endothelial and neutrophil alterations. Adenosine deaminase (AD) is a marker of T-cell activation and is related to the production of reactive oxygen species by neutrophils with the production of NO(*), O(2)(*-),

Nitric oxide modulates MCP-1 expression in endothelial cells: implications for the pathogenesis of pulmonary granulomatous vasculitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a pivotal mediator of angiocentric granuloma formation in glucan-induced pulmonary granulomatous vasculitis. Based on the rationale that mononuclear phagocytes retrieved from granulomas are rich sources of nitric oxide (NO) and that the recruitment of

The impact of smoking on clinical features of Behçet's disease patients with glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Various cancer studies have suggested that polymorphism of GSTM1 may influence the ability to detoxify chemicals in cigarette smoke. In the present study the effect of smoking on clinical features of Behçet's disease were investigated in patients having GST-M1 and/or -T1 null

Induction of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis in Lewis rats with purified recombinant human retinal S-antigen fusion protein.

Only registered users can translate articles

Full-length human retinal cDNA for S antigen (S-ag) and for the alpha subunit of transducin (alpha-Td) were subcloned into a bacterial expression plasmid vector to generate recombinant fusion proteins with glutathione-S-transferase (GST). The recombinant GST-S-ag and rGST-alpha-Td fusion proteins

Antioxidant effects of mycophenolate mofetil in a murine pleurisy model.

Only registered users can translate articles

Generation of oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) is believed to be a primary factor in the etiology of various inflammatory diseases. Although, the process of generation of oxygen species is a physiological event, in the inflammatory process this event is

Alterations in intracellular reactive oxygen species generation and redox potential modulate mast cell function.

Only registered users can translate articles

The administration of mercuric chloride (HgCl2), gold compounds, or D-penicillamine to Brown Norway (BN) rats causes a T helper (Th)2 cell-associated autoimmune syndrome characterized by the production of a number of autoantibodies, marked elevation of serum IgE concentration, and tissue injury in

Eales' disease: oxidant stress and weak antioxidant defence.

Only registered users can translate articles

Eales' disease (ED) is an idiopathic retinal periphlebitis characterized by capillary non-perfusion and neovascularization. In addition to the existing system, a new staging system has been proposed by Saxena et al. Immunological, molecular biological and biochemical studies have indicated the role

Oxidative stress and leukocyte migration inhibition response in cutaneous adverse drug reactions.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) may either be immunological or non-immunological. The precise mechanisms, however, are largely obscure. Other concomitant mechanisms may amplify and/or contribute to the severity and duration of a reaction. One such mechanism could be oxidative

Laminitis in young dairy calves fed a high starch diet and with a history of bovine viral diarrhoea virus infection.

Only registered users can translate articles

Six of the 33 calves born in a Swedish dairy herd during a period of four months developed laminitis when they were eight to 12 weeks old. The clinical signs included difficulty in rising, a stiff gait, overgrown claws and haemorrhages in the sole horn. Samples of blood were taken from four of the

Effect of vitamin E treatment on the oxidative damage occurring in Henoch-Schönlein purpura.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of reactive oxygen molecules (ROMs) in the pathogenesis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura and the effect of vitamin E on oxidative damage. ROMs have been suggested to contribute in many pathological conditions including renal diseases and vasculitis. METHODS The activities
