Description of the research topic:
Systemic inflammation constitutes a serious financial and healthcare problem even in the modern societies. Its on-target, efficient treatment would require the understanding of the involved neural, humoral, and endocrine regulatory factors as well as the effect of those factors on the progress of the disease. In small animals, systemic inflammation can be modeled in several different ways, for example with the administration of bacterial endotoxin, which evokes “aseptic” systemic inflammatory response syndrome (accompanied by fever or hypothermia) or with cecal ligature and puncture, which results in septic shock. Our goal is to investigate the role of certain receptors, neurotransmitters, humoral factors, and neural structures under the formerly mentioned and related inflammatory conditions. Our studies involve the measurement of body temperature in systemic inflammation models, as well as other in-vivo experiments (e.g., nociceptive tests), molecular biology, immunohistochemistry, and further experimental techniques.
