Effects of lithium and rubidium on immune responses of rats.

Abstract:

:Rats were treated with LiCl or RbCl in drinking water for 65 days. Spleen cells from both treated groups exhibited significantly greater proliferative responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) than those from untreated controls. Responses to concanavalin A (Con A) were not affected. Cytotoxic activities of natural killer (NK) cells from both treated groups were significantly less than those from untreated controls. In vitro, Li augmented responses of spleen cells to LPS, but the same doses of Rb suppressed the responses. Effects on responses to Con A were variable. Both Li and Rb alone had a small mitogenic effect on spleen cells.

  • Tumor necrosis factor is involved in chlorpyrifos--induced changes in core temperature in the female rat.

    abstract::Chlorpyrifos (CHP), an OP-based pesticide, induces hypothermia in the rat followed by a fever that persists for several days. The cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), is induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and released during fever and has both pyrogenic and cryogenic (i.e. antipyretic) properties. Administeri...
