Inhibition of advanced glycation endproduct formation by acetaldehyde: Role in the cardioprotective effect of ethanol

TL;DR: A possible mechanism for the so-called "French paradox," (the cardioprotection conferred by moderate ethanol ingestion) is suggested and new strategies for inhibiting advanced glycation are offered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is an important mediator in the pathogenesis of gastric inflammation in rats.

TL;DR: Inhibition of acute gastric ulcer by blockade of MIF indicates that MIF is a key inflammatory mediator and plays a pathogenic role in gastric inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex Steroid Regulation of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Normal and Inflamed Colon in the Female Rat

TL;DR: Estrogen decreases while progesterone increases MIF production in the female rat colon, and changes in basal MIF contents may affect colon susceptibility to inflammation, by modulating TNF-alpha and IL-1beta production during early stages of colitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in autoimmune liver disease

TL;DR: The role of the cytokine, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), and its receptor, CD74, was assessed in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The renin-angiotensin system contributes to renal fibrosis through regulation of fibrocytes.

TL;DR: The results suggest that AT1R/AT2R signaling may contribute to the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis by at least two mechanisms: by regulating the number of fibrocytes in the bone marrow, and by activation of fib rocytes.
