the effect of ifn-β 1a on biochemical factors in multiple sclerosis patients
conclusions this study showed that ifnβ-1a decreased oxidant impacts in ms patients, but had no influence in improving mitochondrial dysfunction. results in the patients group (30 patients), a significant difference was observed in their measured biochemical factors in comparison to the control group (p = 0.001), however, after six months of using ifnβ-1a, only mda was shown in the main (p = 0....
متن کاملReview of the clinical evidence for interferon β 1a (Rebif®) in the treatment of multiple sclerosis
Interferon (INF) beta 1a 22 or 44 mug (Rebif((R))) administered s.c. 3 times a week (t.i.w) is a well established immunomodulating treatment for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). This review focuses on its mechanisms of action, evidence of efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Several pharmacodynamic properties explain the immunomodulatory actions of INF beta 1a 22 or 44 mug s.c. t.i...
متن کاملInterferon β-1a and Atorvastatin in the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Statins, widely used cholesterol-lowering agents, have also been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory and immunomdulatory effects. Objective: To evaluate the effects of atorvastatin in combination with Interferon-β in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods: Multiple sclerosis patients were randomized independently, in a double b...
متن کاملCytokine patterns after therapy with Avonex®, Rebif®, Betaferon® and CinnoVex™ in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in Iranian patients.
AIM Several lines of evidence exist which suggest that changes in the expression of circulating cytokines are linked to the development or reoccurrence of multiple sclerosis (MS). This study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of relevant cytokines after therapy with IFN-β formulations in MS patients. MATERIALS & METHODS In this study, blood samples were collected from 70 MS patients undergoin...
متن کاملThe therapeutic effect of Avonex, Rebif and Betaferon on EDSS and relapse in multiple sclerosis: a comparative study.
We aimed to compare the therapeutic effect of Avonex (Av), Betaferon (Be) & Rebif (Re) on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Ninety patients referring to Farshchian Hospital were entered in this study. The patients were divided into three equal groups: group 1 received Av, group 2 received Re and group 3 received Be, and after 24 months, comparison was done ...
