  2. Eosinophil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil

    Eosinophils can also cause tissue damage in the lungs of asthmatic patients. [7] High concentrations of eosinophil major basic protein and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin that approach cytotoxic levels are observed at degranulation sites in the lungs as well as in the asthmatic sputum. [7]

  3. Eosinophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilia

    A class of steroid hormones secreted by the adrenal gland, glucocorticoids, inhibit eosinophil proliferation and survival. In adrenal insufficiency, low levels of these hormones allow increased eosinophil proliferation and survival. This leads to increases in blood eosinophil levels, typically eosinophilia and, less commonly, hypereosinophilia.

    Yet, mice that did produce this hormone, along with exercise, exhibited an increase in newborn cells and their rate of survival. [120] While the association between exercise-mediated neurogenesis and enhancement of learning remains unclear, this study could have strong implications in the fields of aging and/or Alzheimer's disease .

    The hypothalamus produces the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin in its endocrine cells (left). These are released at nerve endings in the posterior pituitary gland and then secreted into the systemic circulation. The hypothalamus releases tropic hormones into the hypophyseal portal system to the anterior pituitary (right).

    Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...

  7. 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 ...

  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.
