  2. Eosinophil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil

    Eosinophils are also involved in many other biological processes, including postpubertal mammary gland development, oestrus cycling, allograft rejection and neoplasia. [21] They have also been implicated in antigen presentation to T cells. [22] Eosinophils are responsible for tissue damage and inflammation in many diseases, including asthma.

    When produced in excess, however, they may contribute to a wide range of pathological inflammatory responses (5-HETE and LTB4). 5-Oxo-ETE is a particularly potent chemotactic factor for and activator of eosinophils and may thereby contribute to eosinophil-based allergic reactions and diseases.

  4. Major basic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_basic_protein

    PRG2 is a 117-residue protein that predominates in eosinophil granules. It is a potent enzyme against helminths and is toxic towards bacteria and mammalian cells in vitro. The eosinophil major basic protein also causes the release of histamine from mast cells and basophils, and activates neutrophils and alveolar macrophages.

  5. Eosinophil cationic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil_cationic_protein

    Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) also known as ribonuclease 3 is a basic protein located in the eosinophil primary matrix. [4] In humans, the eosinophil cationic protein is encoded by the RNASE3 gene. [5] ECP is released during degranulation of eosinophils. This protein is related to inflammation and asthma because in these cases, there are ...

  6. Eosinophilic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic

    Eosin is usually combined with a stain called hematoxylin to produce a hematoxylin- and eosin-stained section (also called an H&E stain, HE or H+E section). It is the most widely used histological stain for a medical diagnosis. [3] When a pathologist examines a biopsy of a suspected cancer, they will stain the biopsy with H&E.

  7. Eotaxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eotaxin

    These eosinophils are strong, pro-inflammatory effector cells. The cells involved in allergic responses, such as eosinophils, are predominantly expressed through eotaxin and the CCR-3 receptor. [ 2 ] The binding of eotaxin and the other related chemokines to the CCR-3 receptor is seen to play a major role in eosinophil recruitment in allergic ...

    As for the orgasm connection, oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus (i.e., the control center of the brain), which is yet another region activated—both in the posterior and anterior—during ...

  9. Eosinopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinopenia

    Eosinopenia is a condition where the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in circulating blood is lower than normal. [1] Eosinophils are a type of granulocyte and consequently from the same cellular lineage as neutrophils, basophils, and mast cells.
