  • In this context, an effective immune response is essential for patient's recovery. (hindawi.com)
  • Treatment usually is based on the extent of disease and the patient's immune status. (medscape.com)
  • The metabolic cost of raising an immune response to experimental stimulation typically results in a general increase of about 10 to 30 percent of resting metabolic rates in a variety of nonvolant small mammals. (cdc.gov)
  • Dysfunction of the regulatory mechanisms maintaining this balance between active immunity and tolerance in the gut may lead to mucosal inflammation and damage and GI diseases. (medscape.com)
  • While Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is responsible for all the host transcriptional responses to LPS, recent discoveries have revealed the existence of several TLR4-independent responses to LPS. (nih.gov)
  • To date, host innate immunity may be the only identified direct factor associated with viral replication. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • The host immune response in patients with COVID‑19 remains to be elucidated. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • It's critical to regulatory actions in the gut, as it relates to proliferation and differentiation, intestinal barrier function, innate immunity, and host response. (medscape.com)
  • Strains of laboratory mice that are inbred for higher metabolic rates show stronger immune responses to immune challenge with stronger antigen-specific IgM production than strains bred for lower metabolic rates. (cdc.gov)
  • When a bat is confronted by a viral antigen, the proportional increase in metabolism for raising an immune response may be trivial compared to the very large increase in the metabolic costs of flight. (cdc.gov)
  • Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) modulates macrophage-mediated responses in sepsis, but its role in other pathogenic diseases has never been addressed. (hindawi.com)
