The larvae of Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) were reared on five host plants, Brassica oleracea , Nicotiana tabacum , Ricinus communis , Gossypium hirsutum , and Arachis hypogaea . The larvae were immunized with Bacillus thuringiensis to observe the immune response. The results of total and differential hemocyte count were increased in B. oleracea , N. tabacum , and R. communis fed S. litura larval hemolymph. Similar results were observed in the parameter of nodulation, melanization, and phenoloxidase. Total protein was higher in R. communis fed larvae. Antioxidant levels like Catalase (CAT), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione S- transferase (GST), Peroxidase (POX), Lipid peroxidase (LPO), and Esterase (EST) was found in moreover all plant-feeding insect. High CAT activity was observed 2–6 h in R. communis , G. hirsutum , and A. hypogaea fed S. litura larval midgut and fatbody samples. Increased SOD activity in both midgut and fatbody at 2–12 h of B. oleracea , G. hirsutum , and A. hypogaea fed. GST activity was increased initially 2−6 h in G. hirsutum and A. hypogaea . Increased POX activity was observed initially in all treated groups. Highest LPO observed at 6 h in N. tabacum in both midgut and fatbody. Whereas increased EST activity was observed in N. tabacum and B. oleracea . The results of the present study shows that nature of food influence the immunity against Bt infection. This information can be very useful for incorporating biological control program for insect pest.

Protective effects of taurine against inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in brain injury

et al. 2018

The protective effect of taurine against inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress in traumatic brain injury was investigated in the present study. Taurine is a non-proteogenic and essential amino acid in animals. It plays a critical nutritional role in brain cell growth, differentiation, and development. Taurine is involved in regeneration and neuroprotection in the injured nervous system, and is an effective antioxidant against lead-, cadmium-, and exercise-induced oxidative stress. Astrocytes and neuron cells were co-cultured and cells were treated with different concentrations of taurine (100, 200 and 300 mg/l) for 72 h, and the levels of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, acetylcholinesterase, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, caspase-3, p53, B-cell lymphoma 2 and Bcl-2-associated X protein were determined. These inflammatory, apoptotic, and oxidative stress markers were substantially increased in injured cells, and returned to normal levels following taurine supplementation. Thus, taurine supplementation may be effective against oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation in injured brain cells.

“…Many researchers have found that the levels of immunoactive substances in the blood circulation, such as IgG and IgM ( 7 ), and of sIgA ( 9 , 22 ) in the local mucosa are decreased after prolonged noise exposure. The quantities and activity of immune cells such as T-lymphocytes ( 8 ), phagocytes ( 23 ), NK cells ( 16 ), and NKT cells ( 5 ) are reduced. In addition, the weights of immune organs/tissues such as the thymus ( 24 ), bone marrow ( 18 ), and spleen ( 14 ) are significantly reduced, and even the genetic material of cells ( 18 ) in bone marrow exhibits obvious adverse changes ( 4 ).…”

The Immune System Can Hear Noise

et al. 2021

As a stressor widely existing in daily life, noise can cause great alterations to the immune system and result in many physical and mental disorders, including noise-induced deafness, sleep disorders, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases and other problems. The immune system plays a major role in maintaining homeostasis by recognizing and removing harmful substances in the body. Many studies have shown that noise may play vital roles in the occurrence and development of some immune diseases. In humans, both innate immunity and specific immunity can be influenced by noise, and different exposure durations and intensities of noise may exert various effects on the immune system. Short-term or low-intensity noise can enhance immune function, while long-term or high-intensity noise suppresses it. Noise can lead to the occurrence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) through the production of autoantibodies such as anti-Hsp70 and anti-Hsp60 and exert adverse effects related to other immune-related diseases such as some autoimmune diseases and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The neuroendocrine system, mainly including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) system, is involved in the mechanisms of immune-related diseases induced by noise and gut microbiota dysfunction. In addition, noise exposure during pregnancy may be harmful to the immune system of the fetus. On the other hand, some studies have shown that music can improve immune function and alleviate the adverse effects caused by noise.
