Microbial infection causes inflammation which stimulates macrophage functions. One of the inflammatory products, lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-Pc), can stimulate macrophage activities. Treatment of mice with lyso-Pc enhanced spreading and ingestion activities of peritoneal macrophages. In vitro trea
The effects of highly purified human monocyte-derived interleukin-1 (IL-1) on bovine nasal cartilage breakdown were investigated. Cartilage degradation was determined by quantifying the fraction of total proteoglycan released from cartilage during 8 days of culture. The response appeared to be chond
Cartilage degradation is a characteristic feature of various types of human arthritis, notably rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The influence of glucocorticoid and other steroid hormones on cartilage proteoglycan breakdown was examined in a model system in which breakdown is readily quantifi
Almost all antiinflammatory drugs on the market have analgesic and antipyretic activity. We also looked at the effects of lcflunomide on fever and pain. This drug
