Peripheral neuropathy is a common adverse effect of paclitaxel treatment. To analyze the contribution transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in development paclitaxel-induced thermal hyperalgesia, TRPV1 expression rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was analyzed after Behavioral assessment using tail-flick test showed that intraperitoneal administration 2 and 4 mg/kg induced hyperalgesia days 7, 14, 21. Paclitaxel-induced day 14 significantly inhibited by TRP antagonist ruthenium red (3...

Summary Diabetes mellitus is an important predisposing factor for tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism underlying association using a murine model. Mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were prone Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, as indicated by increased numbers live bacteria in lung, liver and spleen. In diabetic mice, levels IL-12 IFN-γ spleen lower than those control animals on day 14 postinfection, while opposite true IL-4 lung liver. expression...
