During acute infections and chronic illnesses, the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) acts within the brain to elicit metabolic derangements and sickness behaviors. It is unknown which cells in the brain are the proximal targets for IL-1β with respect to the
Sensory and cognitive impairments have been documented in diabetic humans and animals, but the pathophysiology of diabetes in the central nervous system is poorly understood. Because a high glucose level disrupts gap junctional communication in various cell types and astrocytes
The prion protein PrPc is a glycoprotein of unknown function normally found in neurons and glia. It is involved in diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), scrapie and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. PrPSc, an altered isoform of PrPC that is associated
Conclusion. Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) secrete interleukin 6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-1) that can be down-regulated by L-leucine-methylester (LLME); however, there is no qualitative difference between function of TAMs and tissue
Insect biochemistry and molecular biology, 32(7), 719-727 (2002-06-05)
We have identified three methyl esters that have a potent stimulatory effect on the cotransport system responsible for the absorption of most essential amino acids in the silkworm Bombyx mori. L-Leucine methyl ester, the most powerful activator, determined a large
