Soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha receptors in sera from leprosy patients.
Serum levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor I (sTNF-RI) were elevated in patients with lepromatous (LL) reactional-state type II leprosy, and sTNF-RII levels were increased in patients with full tuberculoid (TT) or LL type II leprosy. The sTNF-R in sera from patients with type II leprosy, but not other forms of leprosy, inhibited recombinant TNF cytolytic activities in vitro. T...
متن کاملEvaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis
Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...
متن کاملSoluble Endoglin, Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 and Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Receptors in Different Clinical Manifestations of Preeclampsia
BACKGROUND Despite intensive research, the etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) remains uncertain. Inflammatory and angiogenic factors are thought to play considerable roles in this disease. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between soluble endoglin (sEng), transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha soluble receptors (sTNF-Rs) and th...

متن کاملSoluble tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptors in young obese subjects with normal and impaired glucose tolerance.
OBJECTIVE Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a possible link between obesity and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes. Data about TNF-alpha and soluble forms of its receptors (sTNFR1 and sTNFR2) in IGT are controversial. The aim of the present study was to assess plasma TNF-alpha, sTNFR1, and sTNFR2 levels and to evaluate the relationships with insulin resistance in obes...
