Increased expression of peripheral benzodiazepine receptors on leukocytes in silent myocardial ischemia.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate benzodiazepine receptor expression on leukocytes from patients with symptomatic or silent myocardial ischemia. BACKGROUND Silent myocardial ischemia is frequently observed in patients with coronary artery disease. Pain can be effectively controlled by various endogenous mechanisms. Benzodiazepines and their receptors play key roles in pain,...
متن کاملIncreased Expression of TRAIL and Its Receptors on Peripheral T-Cells in Type 1 Diabetic Patients
Background: Type-I diabetes is an autoimmune inflammatory disease in which pancreatic ß-cells are selectively destroyed by infiltrating cells. TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a type-II membrane protein of the TNF superfamily which is expressed in different tissues, including pancreas and lymphocytes. In humans, TRAIL interacts with four membrane receptors. TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2...
متن کاملSilent myocardial ischemia.
Silent myocardial ischemia is increasingly recognized as a common phenomenon in a variety of people with coronary artery disease. The natural history is poorly understood, but available data suggest that silent ischemia adversely affects prognosis in all groups studied. Based on this information, we believe that efforts should be directed at detecting and aggressively treating silent ischemic e...

متن کاملPeripheral Benzodiazepine Receptors in Health and Disease
Two main types of benzodiazepine receptors have been identified: central type, which is found in the brain mainly in the cortex, limbic areas and cerebellum, and peripheral type, which is found in the kidneys, lungs, ovaries, testes, adrenal glands and blood cells, but is also present in the CNS, in particular in glial cells. Peripheral benzodiazepine receptors (PBR) are detected in most of the...
