Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalytic mechanisms of indoleamine destruction by the quinalphos metabolite 2-hydroxyquinoxaline: a study on melatonin and its precursors serotonin and N-acetylserotonin.

TL;DR: The redox-active quinalphos main metabolite, 2-hydroxyquinoxaline, is particularly effective under excitation by light, and interacts with the specific superoxide anion scavenger Tiron, which should imply formation of an organic radical.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of major antigenic peptide of filarial glutathione-S-transferase.

TL;DR: 5-62 residues long N-terminal peptide of GST is proposed as a potential target for further vaccination studies against filarial infection and its role in Th2 response is correlated with antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trade-Off between L-Thyroxin and Melatonin in Immune Regulation of the Indian Palm Squirrel, Funambulus pennanti during the Reproductively Inactive Phase

TL;DR: A trade-off effect of L-thyroxin and melatonin on the immune system (T- and B-cell differentiation) is suggested for this rodent during its reproductively inactive phase when peripheral T4 is low.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of photoperiodic exposures during late gestation and lactation periods on the pineal and reproductive physiology of the Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti

TL;DR: During gestation and lactation, constant light, long daylength and short daylength conditions were less effective, while constant dark condition had a profound effect in depressing pineal gland activity, which subsequently advanced postpartum recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimentally induced stress, oxidative load and changes in immunity in a tropical wild bird, Perdicula asiatica: involvement of melatonin and glucocorticoid receptors.

TL;DR: Melatonin prevents/alleviates oxidative damage and suppresses the immune status induced by stressful conditions via its membrane receptor expression (Mel(1a) and Mel(1b)) in P. asiatica.
