## Abstract Astrocyte swelling is observed in different types of brain injury. We studied a potential contribution of swelling to protein tyrosine nitration (PTN) by using cultured rat astrocytes exposed to hypoosmotic (205 mosmol/L) medium. Hypoosmolarity (2 h) increases total PTN by about 2‐fold
Macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) is a member of a superfamily of inflammatory cytokines termed chemokines, and it has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases with inflammatory components. It has been known that MIP-1alpha plays a role in recruiting and activa
The transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)- and -␦ are key regulators for the expression of the acute phase genes in the liver, such as complement component C3 and antichymotrypsin. In the brain, these acute phase proteins are produced in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines
