[Stimforte action on the main inflammation characteristics in experimental animals contaminated by Herpes simplex-1]
Abstract:
In the brain and lungs of the experimental animals contaminated by Herpes simplex-1 there were detected much higher levels of the thiobarbituric acid-stained lipid oxidation products and proteolytic activity, evident of the inflammation process. Stimforte lowered the inflammation indices to the level, close to that in the brain of the noninfected animals. Yet the drug provided lower titers of the virus in the brain, lungs and serum in the contaminated animals and arrested the infection process by stimulation of the immune system. The mechanism of the inflammation suppression is discussed.
