Serotonergic Mechanisms in Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) may be worsened by stress and anxiety. Serotonin (5hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) is an important mediator in stress and anxiety. In the present thesis serotonergic mechanisms were studied in atopic dermatitis (AD). In an atopic-like mouse model, NC/Nga, that was subjected to chronic mild stress, we studied expression of serotonergic markers 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors (R) and ...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms of atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease which results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental mechanisms. An altered lipid composition of the stratum corneum is responsible for the xerotic aspect of the skin and determines a higher permeability to allergens and irritants. Keratinocytes of AD patients exhibit a propensity to an exaggerated production of cytok...
متن کاملXerosis is associated with atopic dermatitis, hand eczema and contact sensitization independent of filaggrin gene mutations.
Atopic dermatitis, hand eczema and contact sensitization are prevalent disorders, and may, in many cases, be secondary to skin barrier abnormality. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between self-reported generalized xerosis, atopic dermatitis, hand eczema and contact sensitization, taking filaggrin gene mutations into account. Questionnaire data were collected from a cros...
متن کاملCommon Allergens in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
Abstract Background and objective: Being exposed to different allergens, followed by the production of specific IgE, has an important role in causing atopic dermatitis, recognizing the allergens and applying immunotherapy for treatment. We aimed to determine the frequency of common allergens in the patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. Material and Methods: In this descriptive- anal...
متن کاملAssociation of LL-37 and IL-31 serum levels with SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) score in atopic dermatitis patients
Background: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, recurrent inflammation of the skin, accompanied by severe pruritus. Immune system dysregulation and skin barrier defects are associated with the abnormalities in atopic dermatitis. Myriad pieces of evidence have pointed to the major roles of LL-37 and interleukin-31 (IL31)in atopic dermatitis. The studies on atopic dermatitis are still limited i...
