T-2 toxin-induced alterations in rat mesenteric mast cell granulation were measured by cytophotometric analyses of the metachromatic reaction of mast cell granules with azure B. Hypogranulation (diminution of metachromatic material) was observed 8 h following injections of T-2 toxin (0.5-1.5 LD50, i.p.). These data suggest that mast cell activation occurs during acute T-2 intoxication and raise the possibility that mast cell mediators may contribute to toxin-induced cardiovascular collapse.

is traditionally known for its medicinal properties. Objectives: Here, we investigated the effects of crude extract (CE) and ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) obtained from leaves on the ascitic (EA) and solid (ES) forms of Ehrlich tumors. : Induced and uninduced BALB/c mice were treated intramuscularly, for 7 or 14 days, with saline solution or CE and EAF, both at a 10% concentration, based on in vitro cytotoxicity assessment.

Limited research has explored histamine intolerance from the perspective of primary caregivers. Our objective was to develop a practical symptom profile from the standpoint of general practice. We also aimed to gather data on the frequency and timing of disease progression and to establish a staging system.

Neuroinflammation is involved in various neurological and neurodegenerative disorders in which the activation of microglia is one of the key factors. In this study, we examined the anti-inflammatory effects of the flavonoids nobiletin (5,6,7,8,3',4'-hexamethoxyflavone) and eriodictyol (3',4',5,7-tetraxydroxyflavanone) on human microglia cell line activation stimulated by either lipopolysaccharide (LPS), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) full-length Spike protein (FL-Spike), or the mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA). Human microglia were preincubated with the flavonoids (10, 50, and 100 µM) for 2 h, following which, they were stimulated for 24 h.

Mastocytosis is a rare neoplastic disease of the bone marrow. Common symptoms like urticaria, diarrhea, bronchspasm and flushing are caused by mast cell degranulation and are mostly based on mast cell mediator release and Th2 type inflammation that occurs frequently in these patients. Psychological disorders are more prevalent in patients with systemic mastocytosis, though little is known about the mechanism behind this.
