Chronic administration of recombinant IL-6 upregulates lipogenic enzyme expression and aggravates high-fat-diet-induced steatosis in IL-6-deficient mice.

In conclusion, the present study shows that high levels of anxiety and depression are associated with higher clinical variables (BMI and fat mass, %) and lower levels of anxiety

(A) Bacterial levels recovered at 6 h and 24 h from BALF, lung and blood of PSGL-1 −/− mice (open bars) and wild-type mice (black bars) after pneumonia infection with the

These results correlated with our previous kinetics of arginase I expression in the hearts of both C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice (19) and indicated that during in vivo infection, arginase

Changes in serum IL-15 levels at 4 and 8 weeks as compared with baseline values were directly associated with changes in body weight, BMI, fat-free mass, and muscle mass

Fig 7D thus shows that IL-2-maintained CTL express high levels of CD71 and uptake high amounts of trans- ferrin compared to T cells deprived of cytokines, with expression of CD71

p8 is a stress induced transcription coactivator and p8 -/- mice have transiently elevated serum enzyme levels and pancreas inflammation (Vasseur et al., 2004). Mnk1 is known to

Peritoneal macrophages from FccR deficient mice exhibited a reduced expression of pro-inflammatory genes (CCL2, TNF-a and Arg2) and increased expression of M2 response genes

On the other hand, we addressed the role of GRK2 in the heart of adult (9 month) mice or of mice fed with high-fat diet, two conditions known to promote insulin resistance. In
