Increase in Plasma Interleukin-10 Following Hydrocortisone Injection

MODULATION OF INTERLEUKIN-1Β (IL-1Β ), TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR–Α (TNF-Α) AND INTERLEUKIN-10 (IL-10 ) GENES EXPRESSION FOLLOWING CONCURRENT TRAINING IN WOMEN WITH TYPE2 DIABETES

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of concurrent training on pre-inflammatory (IL-1β, TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines gene expression in women with type2 diabetes. Methods: 18-patients (age30-38, >130 glycemic index) were selected, randomly, and divided into control (n=6) the concurrent training(diabetes, n=6) and the concurrent training (healthy...

Seminal plasma components stimulate interleukin-8 and interleukin-10 release.

Human seminal plasma has potent anti-inflammatory properties which are thought to confer a survival advantage to the spermatozoa within the hostile female genital tract. In contrast, a profound pro-inflammatory leukocytosis has been observed post-coitus in animals and humans. Whether components of seminal plasma are involved in initiating this leukocytic reaction is not known. This study invest...

Plasma Hydrocortisone in Mental Diseases.

Stereological Evaluation of Cell Proliferation following Intrarenal Injection of Platelet-rich Plasma in Gentamicin-treated Rats

  Background & objectives: Nephrotoxicity is the most important side effect of gentamicin and is a concern in clinical situations. There are no therapeutic tools to prevent or palliate nephrotoxicity. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a source of growth factors can be considered as a therapeutic tool. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of PRP on proliferation of epithel...

Plasma, salivary and urinary cortisol levels following physiological and stress doses of hydrocortisone in normal volunteers

BACKGROUND Glucocorticoid replacement is essential in patients with primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency, but many patients remain on higher than recommended dose regimens. There is no uniformly accepted method to monitor the dose in individual patients. We have compared cortisol concentrations in plasma, saliva and urine achieved following "physiological" and "stress" doses of hydrocort...
