Malignant tumors are the second most common cause of death worldwide. More attention is being paid to link between body’s impaired oxidoreductive balance and cancer incidence. Much polyphenols derived from plants, as one their properties an antioxidant character: ability eliminate reactive oxygen nitrogen species, chelate specific metal ions, modulate signaling pathways affecting inflammation, raise level activity enzymes while lowering those with oxidative effects. The following three...
The role of blood proteinases in the mobilization hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) is still not well understood. As previously reported, activation complement cascade (ComC) and cleavage C5 by convertase are enabling events release C5a that plays a crucial egress HSPCs from bone marrow (BM) into peripheral (PB) explains why C5-deficient mice poor mobilizers. Here we provide evidence during granulocyte colony-stimulating factor- AMD3100-induced mobilization, only ComC but also two...

Background/Aims Recent experimental studies have suggested that various cytokines may be important players in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer. However, these findings not yet been verified a clinical setting. Methods In this study, we examined levels broad panel cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, IL-23, as well tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) granulocyte-colony stimulating (G-CSF) patients with adenocarcinoma (n = 43), other...
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid with wide biological activity. Previous studies have shown its potential usefulness as diagnostic marker for ovarian cancer. The aim of the study was to investigate which factors may influence plasma LPA concentrations in healthy subjects and propose reference values.The group consisted 100 subjects. From all them blood samples were taken at 7 a.m. (fasting state). 40 volunteers additional 2 p.m., 8 p.m. next morning. Concentrations measured...
The circadian system synchronizes daily with the day–night cycle of our environment. Disruption this rhythm impacts emergence and development many diseases caused, for example, by overproduction free radicals, leading to oxidative damage cellular components. goal study was determine activity superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), transferase (GST), reductase (R-GSSG), concentration (GSH) in rhythm. group comprised 66 healthy volunteers (20–50 years; 33...
The multitude of processes in which the liver participates makes it vulnerable to many serious diseases, can lead chronic organ failure. Modern medicine bases treatment end-stage failure on transplantation. To ensure proper functioning transplanted liver, a balance cellular and immunological appropriate concentrations different factors are necessary, including, among others, fibroblast growth (FGFs). Over last several years, studies have focused some FGF factors, i.e., FGF19 FGF21. These two...
The complement cascade seems to be an important mediator modulating renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. This study analyzed whether significant changes occur in the levels of a terminal panel molecules (C3a, C5a, and C5b-9/membrane attack complex) during early phase human kidney allograft reperfusion evaluated potential association these with clinical post-transplant graft function transplant recipients.Seventy-five recipients undergoing transplantation between 2004 2006 were enrolled divided...
The aim of our research was to examine whether winter-swimming for five consecutive months results in adaptational changes improving tolerance stress induced by exposure cryogenic temperatures during whole-body cryostimulation (WBC). involved 15 healthy men, with normal bodyweight, who had never been subjected either WBC or cold water immersion. During the experiment, participants were twice (3 min/- 130°C), namely before season and after season. Blood taken seven times: In morning each...
The number of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) circulating in peripheral blood (PB) is regulated by a circadian rhythm, and more HSPCs circulate PB the morning hours than at night. Different mechanisms have been proposed that might regulate this process, including changes tonus β-adrenergic innervation bone marrow (BM) tissue. Our group reported mice correlates with diurnal activation complement cascade (ComC) deficient C5 component ComC (C5-KO mice) do not show PB. We also...
Introduction: The immune system is undoubtedly involved in the pathogenesis of various psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or depression. Although its role not fully understood, it appears that this area research can help to understand etiology mental illness. One components human complement system, which forms a part innate response. Physiologically, except for essential protective role, vital element regeneration processes, including neurogenesis. To date, few...
It has been suggested that action of complement cascade [CC]-derived anaphylatoxins/molecules may represent a missing link between obesity and metabolic disorders. However, to date, the direct biochemical/immunomodulatory composition human AT environment remains poorly understood.
