The analysis of cytokine regulation of macrophage antimicrobial responses of the goldfish (Carassius auratus L.)
DownloadFall 2011
Inflammation is a highly regulated immune response to tissue damage, infiltrating pathogens or both. Cells of the myeloid lineage such as macrophages are indispensable for the initiation, progression and resolution of inflammation. Macrophages possess an armamentarium of antimicrobial responses...

The Cardioprotective Role of the N-3 PUFA Metabolite 19,20-Epoxydocosapentaenoic Acid (19,20-EDP) in the Setting of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
DownloadSpring 2022
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Myocardial ischemia occurs when a coronary artery is occluded and consequently blood supply to the heart is restricted depleting it of oxygen and nutrients. Although early myocardial reperfusion,...
