Is the chitinases expression related to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Encephalitis ( SIVE ) and in HIV encephalitis ( HIVE )?
These results suggest that chitinase gene expression is altered in SIVE and in HAD/HIVE brain sections and call for more studies examining whether this is a protective immunological reaction or a destructive tissue response to encephalitis.
These data provide evidence that NOS inhibitors prevent inflammatory bone resorption in experimental periodontitis.
