Effects of space flight conditions on the function of the immune system and catecholamine production simulated in a rodent model of hindlimb unloadingHernan Aviles
Department of Biology, Binghamton University, Binghamton, NY 13902 6000, USA
Neuroimmunomodulation 12:173-81. 2005..Previous studies have indicated that mice exposed to hindlimb-unloading conditions have decreased resistance to infections compared to restrained and normally housed control mice...
Active hexose correlated compound activates immune function to decrease bacterial load in a murine model of intramuscular infectionHernan Aviles
Department of Biological Sciences, Binghamton University, State University of New York, 85 Murray Hill Rd, Binghamton, NY 13902 6000, USA
Am J Surg 195:537-45. 2008..The objective of this study was to clarify the mechanisms by which active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) increases survival in a murine model of intramuscular infection...
Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) enhances resistance to infection in a mouse model of surgical wound infectionHernan Aviles
Department of Biological Sciences, State University of New York at Binghamton, Binghamton, New York 13902 6000, USA
Surg Infect (Larchmt) 7:527-35. 2006..The objective of this study was to test the prophylactic effects of oral administration of active hexose correlated compound (AHCC), a natural immunoenhancer, on survival in a mouse model of surgical soft tissue infection...
Kinetics of systemic cytokine and brain chemokine gene expression in murine toxoplasma infectionHernan Aviles
Department of Biological Sciences, Northern Arizona University, Arizona, USA
J Parasitol 94:1282-8. 2008..The early production of IFN-gamma and the delayed expression of CXCR4 and CXCR5 indicate that T. gondii induces an early robust cellular immune response, followed by a strong and sustained antibody-mediated immunity...
Enhancement of in vitro growth of pathogenic bacteria by norepinephrine: importance of inoculum density and role of transferrinPhyllis M O'Donnell
Department of Biological Sciences, Binghamton University, State University of New York, Binghamton, NY 13902 6000, USA
Appl Environ Microbiol 72:5097-9. 2006..The results indicated that a reduced inoculum density is essential for observing norepinephrine-induced effects. Additional studies using serum-free media suggested that transferrin plays a role in norepinephrine-induced growth...
Active hexose correlated compound enhances the immune function of mice in the hindlimb-unloading model of spaceflight conditionsHernan Aviles
Morehouse U, Atlanta, GA
J Appl Physiol 97:1437-44. 2004..These findings suggest that AHCC can be used as a potent immunoenhancer, especially in cases in which the immune system is suppressed by any condition, including diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus infection and cancer...
Active hexose correlated compound enhances resistance to Klebsiella pneumoniae infection in mice in the hindlimb-unloading model of spaceflight conditionsHernan Aviles
Department of Microbiology, Morehouse School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30310-1495, USA
J Appl Physiol 95:491-6. 2003..decreased mortality, 2). increased time to death, and 3). increased ability to clear bacteria. The results suggest that AHCC can decrease the deleterious effects of the hindlimb-unloading model on immunity and resistance to infection...
Increased susceptibility to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection under hindlimb-unloading conditionsHernan Aviles
Morehouse U Sch Med, Atlanta, GA
J Appl Physiol 95:73-80. 2003..These results suggest that hindlimb unloading may induce the production of corticosterone, which may play a critical role in the modulation of the immune system leading to increased susceptibility to P. aeruginosa infection...
Effects of the hindlimb-unloading model of spaceflight conditions on resistance of mice to infection with Klebsiella pneumoniaeTesfaye Belay
Morehouse Sch Med, Atlanta, GA
J Allergy Clin Immunol 110:262-8. 2002..The complex physiologic changes observed during hindlimb unloading, including stress, have a key role in the pathophysiology of this infection...
Catecholamines and in vitro growth of pathogenic bacteria: enhancement of growth varies greatly among bacterial speciesTesfaye Belay
Morehouse Sch Med, Atlanta, GA
Life Sci 73:1527-35. 2003..The results of the present study extend previous observations that showed differential capability of catecholamines to enhance bacterial growth in vitro...
