Differential elevation of circulating interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin-6 in AIDS-associated cachectic states.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Elevation of serum interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) levels, and to a lesser degree tumor necrosis factor alpha levels, was found in cachectic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected African patients without concurrent opportunistic infection or neoplasia (HIV wasting syndrome). A heterogeneous pattern of elevations of cytokine levels, including mild elevations of IL-1 beta and pronounced elevations of IL-6 levels, was found in other cachectic states.

Effect of methotrexate alone or in combination with sulphasalazine on the production and circulating concentrations of cytokines and their antagonists. Longitudinal evaluation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
In a recent study from our group, the combination of methotrexate and sulphasalazine (MTX + SASP) seemed superior to MTX alone in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To assess the impact of these therapies on the cytokine cascade, the in vitro production and circulating concentrations of several cytokines and endogenous cytokine antagonists were measured in 30 healthy controls and longi...

Background: Despite the considerable advances in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) treatment and management, finding the cure for this disease has been hindered by emerging challenges such as virus resistance and treatment failures. The purpose of this study is to compare the cytokine profiles of patients with successful treatment and patients with unsuccessful treatment to gain a bette...

Background: Pre-eclampsia is the most common critical condition during pregnancy. Plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) increase in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia, compared to normal pregnant women. Objective: To investigate the polymorphisms of IL-1β (C+3954T), TNF-α (G- 308A), and (G-238A) in preeclemptic women northeastern Iran. Me...

Background and Aim: Tomatoes are the richest source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant. Tomato products improve antioxidant defenses and reduce the risk of inflammatory diseases, at least partly due to the presence of lycopene. Lycopene, as an anti-inflammatory agent, prevents the production of inflammatory cytokines. Obesity is a chronic inflammatory condition in which the increased level of bo...
متن کاملPharmacologic inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor production exert differential effects in lethal endotoxemia and in infection with live microorganisms in mice.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) are principal mediators of septic shock; inhibition of TNF-alpha production may ameliorate outcome in severe infections. Pentoxifylline, chlorpromazine, and thalidomide inhibit TNF-alpha production. Their effects were tested in lethal endotoxemia in sensitized mice. Only chlorpromazine significantly improved survival. Ch...
