  2. Interleukin 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin_5

    The IL-5 receptor is composed of an α and a βc chain. [23] The α subunit is specific for the IL-5 molecule, whereas the βc subunit also recognised by interleukin 3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). [23] [24] Glycosylation of the Asn196 residue of the Rα subunit appears to be essential for binding of IL-5 ...

  3. Interleukin-5 receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin-5_receptor

    The interleukin-5 receptor is a type I cytokine receptor.It is a heterodimer of the interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit and CSF2RB. [1] [2]The IL-5 receptor (IL-5R) belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family and is a heterodimer composed of two polypeptide chains, one α subunit, which binds IL-5 and confers upon the receptor cytokine specificity, and one β subunit, which contains the ...

  4. Depression and immune function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_and_immune_function

    Major depression is often associated with biomarkers indicative of inflammatory responses, with interleukin-6, interleukin-1, interleukin-2 receptor, tumor necrosis factor alpha, C-reactive protein, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 all being found to be elevated in those with depression.

  5. Interleukin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin

    Interleukin 5 (IL5), also known as eosinophil differentiation factor (EDF), is a lineage-specific cytokine for eosinophilpoiesis. [ 17 ] [ 18 ] It regulates eosinophil growth and activation, [ 17 ] and thus plays an important role in diseases associated with increased levels of eosinophils, including asthma. [ 18 ]

  6. Interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin_5_receptor...

    The protein encoded by this gene is an interleukin 5 specific subunit of a heterodimeric cytokine receptor. The receptor is composed of a ligand specific alpha subunit and a signal transducing beta subunit shared by the receptors for interleukin 3 (IL3), colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF), and interleukin 5 (IL5).

  7. Psychoneuroimmunology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoneuroimmunology

    A study done by the American Psychological Association did an experiment on rats, where they applied electrical shocks to a rat, and saw how interleukin-1 was released directly into the brain. Interleukin-1 is the same cytokine released when a macrophage chews on a bacterium, which then travels up the vagus nerve, creating a state of heightened ...

  8. Effects of stress on memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_stress_on_memory

    Social anxiety can be related to one situation (such as talking to people) or it can be much more broad, where a person experiences anxiety around everyone except family members. People with social anxiety disorder have a constant, chronic fear of being watched and judged by peers and strangers, and of doing something that will embarrass them.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_COVID-19_on...

    Many of the neurological sequelae appear to result from damage to the vascular cells of the brain or from damage resulting from hypoxia (i.e., limitations in the oxygen supply for the brain). Chronic effects of COVID-19 can lead to a prolonged inflammatory state, which can increase symptoms resembling an autoimmune disorder. [ 1 ]
