Humoral and Cellular Immune Regulation in Albino Rat Exposed to Glyphosate and Aluminum Phosphide by Ujuamala Ezeani, Onyemaechi Afonne, Michael Ezeani

“…Additionally, there was a notable reduction in CD4+ levels at the second and third months post-exposure (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively).Conclusion: This study identified a deregulation of the immune system characterized by a progressive immunosuppression of CD4 T cell counts, indicating a down regulation of antibody-mediated (humoral) immune responses alongside an up regulation of cytotoxic T cells. This phenomenon aligns with the animals' increasing exposure to the chemicals, showing no significant difference in the changes due to dosage across both sexes. …”

Effects of asiaticoside on the model of gestational diabetes mellitus in HTR-8/svneo cells via PI3K/AKT pathway by Zhilan Hu, Ya Long, Xiangyue Li, Zhiqin Jia, Mingyan Wang, Xuemei Huang, Xiaolan Yu

“…The mRNA levels of PI3K, AKT2, mTORC1, and GLUT4 in PI3K/AKT signalling pathway were measured by RT-PCR, and the protein expressions of these signalling molecules were monitored by western blot.Results AS showed a promotion effect on the cell proliferation rate of HTR-8/Svneo cells, and 80 μmol/L AS with a treatment time of 48 h had no cytotoxicity. The cell proliferation rate, migration rate, mRNA levels and protein expressions of PI3K, AKT2, mTORC1, and GLUT4 in the HG group were significantly lower than those in the control group, which were significantly increased in the HG + AS group (p < 0.05).Conclusions AS can facilitate the cell proliferation and migration in the cell model of GDM, and might play a role in GDM treatment via PI3K/AKT pathway.…”
