Filifactor alocis and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Stimulate Synthesis of Visfatin by Human Macrophages

2021

There is little known about the effect of the periodontopathogen Filifactor alocis on macrophages as key cells of the innate immune defense in the periodontium. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of F. alocis and additionally of the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF&alpha

Immune-inflammatory and metabolic effects of high dose furosemide plus hypertonic saline solution (HSS) treatment in cirrhotic subjects with refracto…

2016

Introduction Patients with chronic liver diseases are usually thin as a result of hypermetabolism and malnutrition expressed by reduced levels of leptin and impairment of other adyponectins such as visfatin. Aims We evaluated the metabolic and inflammatory effects of intravenous high-dose furosemide plus hypertonic saline solutions (HSS) compared with repeated paracentesis and a standard oral diuretic schedule, in patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites. Methods 59 consecutive cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites unresponsive to outpatient treatment. Enrolled subjects were randomized to treatment with intravenous infusion of furosemide (125-250mg⁄bid) plus small volumes of HSS …

Tkanka tłuszczowa – budowa i funkcje, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem charakterystyki wybranych adipokin i ich wpływu na organizm

2019

Wprowadzenie i cel pracy. Światowa epidemia otyłości przyczyniła się do rozwoju badań mających na celu dokładne poznanie budowy i zrozumienie procesów zachodzących w tkance tłuszczowej, której nadmiar jest głównym wyznacznikiem tej choroby. Obecnie wiadomo, że tkanka tłuszczowa dzięki wytwarzanym adipokinom może być jedną z przyczyn zaburzeń związanych z otyłością. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie budowy i funkcji tkanki tłuszczowej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem jej aktywności hormonalnej. Skrócony opis stanu wiedzy. Adipokiny wytwarzane przez tkankę tłuszczową działają nie tylko lokalnie (autokrynnie i parakrynnie), ale także na narządy odległe (działanie endokrynne). Regulują one metaboli…
