(biochemia-medica.com)
  • The pro-inflammatory cytokines can be classified either based on the primary source of their production, i.e. the type of immune cell or their specific targets in bone, i.e. bone cells and thus the process they affect, i.e. bone resorption or formation. (biochemia-medica.com)
  • genetic and environmental factors seem to increase the susceptibility of some individuals in developing this severe inflammatory disease (1) ( Fig. 1 ). (bvsalud.org)
  • Many different cell types in the brain express the IL-1 receptor and respond to this cytokine by activating cell-type-specific signaling pathways leading to distinct functional responses, which collectively comprise the inflammatory response in the brain. (biologicalworld.com)
  • We characterized adiposity along with metabolic and inflammatory phenotypes in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice fed 1 of 3 high fat diets (45% energy) for 12 wk: control ( n = 29), high-Ca ( n = 30), or high-Ca + nonfat dry milk (NFDM) ( n = 30). (biomedcentral.com)
