The involvement of endogenous tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the pyrogenic [i.e., rise in colonic temperature (Tc)] and thermogenic [increase in oxygen consumption (VO2)] responses to inflammation was investigated in rats subjected to an intramuscular injection of turpentine. Turpentine

Serum concentration and glycosylation of rat alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1-AGP) were evaluated after the in vivo administration of recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (rhIL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (rhTNF-alpha), alone or associated. The effect of LPS and turpentine was also

To measure interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like activities in canine serum, bioassays were conducted using human melanoma A375S1, IL-6 dependent murine hybridoma MH60.BSF2, and WEHI 164 murine sarcoma subclone 28-4. Clinically normal adult beagles were experimentally

Elevated protein synthesis in mouse tumor-host liver is the net result of both stimulatory and inhibitory responses. This study compares the directional change in transcription and synthesis of liver and plasma proteins in tumor-host liver as compared with para-neoplastic conditions, such as

Erythrocytes from the circulation of rats bearing Yoshida ascites sarcoma exhibit higher concanavalin A (ConA)-mediated agglutinability than those from normal animals. A tetrameric glycoprotein of subunit molecular mass 170 kDa, purified from the cell-free ascites fluid, was found to confer higher

OBJECTIVE Glucosamine is a highly attractive scaffold for a glucosyl ligand, and shows activity with glucose transporters and hexokinase. In the study reported here, diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid-D-glucosamine (DTPA-DG) was synthesized by conjugating D-glucosamine to DTPA, and was labeled with

S-(11)C-methyl-L-cysteine (LMCYS) is an attractive amino acid tracer for clinical tumor positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. D-isomers of some radiolabeled amino acids are potential PET tracers for tumor imaging. In this work, S-(11)C-methyl-D-cysteine (DMCYS), a D-amino acid isomer of

OBJECTIVE O-[18F]fluoromethyl-L-tyrosine (18F-FMT) is a recently developed tumor-detecting agent with simple preparation and high radiochemical yields. The aim of this study was to assess the potency of 18F-FMT for differentiating tumor and inflammatory tissues using an animal model with an

The effects of four different hyperplastic agents and of the carcinogen DMBA on cytokeratin expression in hamster cheek pouch epithelia were compared. Reversible hyperplasia was produced by the application of either oil of turpentine, vitamin A or TPA. No hyperplastic changes were produced by

OBJECTIVE [(18)F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([(18)F]-FDG) is a useful radiotracer to detect malignant tumors. However, inflammatory processes are likely to be mistaken as malignant tumors owing to strong accumulation of [(18)F]-FDG. The fluorinated nucleoside base 5-fluorouracil has remained an

Areas of rabbit skin previously rendered hyperplastic with turpentine were scarified, inoculated with the Shope papilloma virus, and covered with a dressing that contained 20-methylcholanthrene (MC) or 9:10-dimethyl-1:2-benzanthracene (9:10). The dressing was left on until healing had been well

Data from our present studies demonstrate the capability of a 105,000 X g pellet from rat normal bone marrow, turpentine-induced hyperplastic bone marrow, and chloroma tumor to transform precursor arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. The activity of the prostaglandin synthetase systems in these
