      Aging is associated with a deterioration of the acute phase response to inflammatory challenges. However, the nature of these defects remains poorly defined. We analyzed the hepatic inflammatory response after intraperitoneal ...

      Basal proliferation of endothelial cells increases with age, and this might play a role in the etiology of age-related vascular diseases, as well as angiogenesis. Serum kininogen levels increase during aging in rats and ...
    • Acuña Castillo, Claudio; Aravena, Mauricio; Leiva Salcedo, Elías; Pérez, Viviana; Gómez, Christian; Sabaj Diez, Valeria; Nishimura, Sumiyo; Pérez Núñez, Claudio; Colombo, Alicia; Walter, Robin Ann; Sierra, Felipe (ELSEVIER, 2005-12)
      Plasma levels of kininogens increase with age in both rats and humans. Kininogens are inhibitors of cysteine proteinases, and filarial cysteine proteinase inhibitors (cystatins) reduce the proliferation of T cells. We ...
