AIM: To study the immune modulating effect of low dose of resveratrol. METHODS: Concanavalin
A (ConA) and Staphylococcus aureus Cowan (Sac) were used to induce the activation …

This study was performed to compare the differences in pH, myofibril fragmentation index (MFI),
total protein solubility (TPS), sarcoplasmic protein solubility (SPS), myofibrillar protein …

Lymphocytes depend on transmethylation reactions for efficient activation and function. These
reactions are primarily catalyzed by S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases…

Background: Outbreaks of silicosis have occurred among workers in the artificial stone (AS)
industry, and there is currently no effective antifibrosis treatment for silicosis. Design: A …

Resveratrol, a polyphenol compound found in grapes and red wines, is a prominent anti-cancer
agent. In this study, we demonstrate that resveratrol enhanced TNF-α, IL-12 and IL-1β …

AIM: To study the interaction of resveratrol and ethanol on the production of pro-inflammatory
factors from activated murine peritoneal macrophages (MPM). METHODS: NO production …

Aim: To investigate the effects of triptolide, a diterpenoid triepoxide from Tripterygium
wilfordii Hook F (TWHF), on the co‐stimulatory molecule expression and interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) …

Two new grayanane diterpenoid glucosides, rhodomosides A (1), B (2) and two new phenolic
glycosides 3, 4 together with a known glucosyringic acid (5) were isolated from the roots of …

Resident peritoneal macrophages (pMϕ) are found deficient in T cell-stimulating capacity
compared with the competent splenic macrophages (sMϕ). Macrophages (Mϕ)-derived nitric …

Antibody responses can be useful markers of tuberculosis (TB) infection, especially in the
screening of extra-pulmonary TB. MPT64 is an important antigen in Mycobacterium …
