Insulin Modulates Paracoccidioides brasiliensis-Induced Inflammation by Restoring the Populations of NK Cells, Dendritic Cells, and B Lymphocytes in Lungs by Felipe Beccaria Casagrande, Sabrina de Souza Ferreira, Fernanda Peixoto Barbosa Nunes, Lavínia Maria Dal’Mas Romera, Suelen Silvana dos Santos, Fernando Henrique Galvão Tessaro, Paula Regina Knox de Souza, Sandro Rogério Almeida, Joilson Oliveira Martins

“…Insulin treatment restored the leukocyte number in PeLF and restored the presence of B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and NK cells in lungs of diabetic animals. The data suggest that diabetic mice present impaired immunological response to Pb18 infection and insulin modulates inflammation by reducing IL-6 levels in lung and CINC-1 levels in spleen and liver homogenates, restoring leukocyte concentrations in PeLF and also restoring populations of dendritic cells and B lymphocytes in lungs of diabetic mice, permitting the host to better control the infection.…”
