Visfatin Amplifies Cardiac Inflammation and Aggravates Cardiac Injury via the NF-κB p65 Signaling Pathway in LPS-Treated Mice by Yewen Hu, Nan Wu, Weiping Du, Shuangshuang Wang, Jian Wang, Chaoxia Zhang, Xiaomin Chen, Caijie Shen

“…Visfatin expression levels in both the heart and serum were increased in LPS-treated mice and peaked at 6 hours, and visfatin was derived from cardiac macrophages. In septic mice, pretreatment with visfatin reduced the survival rate, worsened cardiac dysfunction, and increased the expression of cardiac injury markers, including creatine kinase myocardial bound (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). …”

Effect of innate and induced immunity on infectious bursal disease pathogenesis by A. N. Semina

“…The infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) affects chicken’s immune system in a comprehensive and integrated manner thus destructing B-lymphocytes, attracting T-cells and activating macrophages. Being the RNA-virus, the agent is specified by high frequency of mutations, which result in the emergence of the strains with modified antigenicity and increased virulence. …”
