... Naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, has been used in clinical trials to treat alcoholism. As the opioid peptides b-endorphin and enkephalin increase splenic NK cell function in laboratory animals, it is anticipated that naltrexone treatment will cause immunosuppression. However, we report in thi ...

Pashley developed a model where gingival fluid production is modulated by the passage of fluid from capillaries into the tissues and by removal of this interstitial fluid by lymphatic of gingival. When the production of fluid from capillaries is greater than lymphatic uptake, fluid will accumulate ...
