lnterleukin-6 (IL-6) – Ein biologischer Marker bei Patientinnen mit Ovarialkarzinom?

Ein 6-wöchiges Power Plate Beschleunigungstraining verbessert den Schmerzzustand und die Ermüdung bei Frauen mit Fibromyalgie

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a 6-week traditional exercise program with supplementary whole-body vibration (WBV) in improving health status, physical functioning, and main symptoms of fibromyalgia (FM) in women with FM. Methods: Thirty-six (36) women with FM (mean standard error of the mean age 55.97 1.55) were randomized into 3 treatment groups: exer...

lnterleukin-6 Reduces Cartilage Destruction during Experimental Arthritis A Study in lnterleukin-6-Deffcient Mice

Modellierung und Simulation biologischer Prozesse mit diskreten Modellierungsansprachen: ein MDE-Ansatz

Signaltransduktionswege beschreiben, wie Zellen auf extrazelluläre Signale reagieren, die von Rezeptoren in der Zellmembran empfangen und in den Zellkern weitergeleitet werden. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir das System Pathway Modeler vor, das es ermöglicht, Modelle für Signaltransduktionswege in verschiedenen Modellierungssprachen zu generieren und mit den zugehörigen Simulationstools zu simuli...

Adipose Tissue Release of lnterleukin-6 (IL-6) and Asymmetric Dimethyl Arginine (ADMA): Implications for Obesity Associated Metabolic Disease

Obesity is associated with the development of various metabolic diseases. Adipose tissue-derived factors may underlie this relationship. Two novel adipose signals associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease were investigated; interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the endogenous nitric oxide inhibitor, asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA). The effect of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) pathway on basal ...

IL-6/IL-10 Ratio as A Prognostic and Predictive Marker of the Severity of Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa

Background: Recent studies have shown that cytokines have an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and can be used as prognostic markers. Objective: To evaluate the IL-6/IL-10 ratio in patients with Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) as a prognostic marker. Methods: Serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were measured in 13 patients with recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB) as well as...
