  1. 1. Interleukin-6 as a mediator of insulin resistance

    Författare :Victoria Rotter Sopasakis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A potential role of interleukin (IL)-6 for the metabolic abnormalities seen in obesity and insulinresistance was postulated when it was discovered that circulating IL-6 levels were elevated in obeseand insulin-resistant as well as type 2 diabetic individuals. Later it was shown that the adipose tissuewas a major site of IL-6 production, accounting for 15-35% of the total circulating levels. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The Role of Interleukin-6 in the Febrile Response

    Författare :Namik Hamzic; Camilla Nilsberth; Anders Blomqvist; Ville Wallenius; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Everyone who has been exposed to influenza or a bacterial infection knows how it feels to be sick. Apart from not being willing to participate in social activities, losing your appetite and experiencing pain, you have also most likely suffered from increased body temperature which defines fever, one of the most prominent signs of an acute ongoing infection.

  4. 3. Pathophysiological role and clinical relevance of cytokines in hypertensive heart failure. A combined clinical and experimental study

    Författare :Espen Haugen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Heart failure; cytokines; elderly; hypertension; cardiac remodelling; interleukin 6; etanercept; adiponectin;

    Sammanfattning : Although mortality due to heart failure has decreased significantly in the last decade since the introduction of ACE-inhibitors and ?-adrenergic receptor blockers in the management of heart failure, chronic heart failure is still one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality and has a very high frequency for readmission to hospitalization because of the aggravation of heart failure. This accounts for a significantly higher health-care expenditure that is twice as much the cost for cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A role of CD44 in atherosclerosis? Studies in mice and humans

    Författare :Sara Sjöberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :CD44; atherosclerosis; interleukin-6; T cell; mast cell;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease that can lead to clinical complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Expressed in both vascular and inflammatory cells, adhesion molecule CD44 can be cleaved from the cell surface, and soluble CD44 can be detected in blood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Serum Amyloid A Protein (SAA) in Healthy and Infected Individuals

    Författare :Anders Lannergård; Göran Friman; Anders Larsson; Uwe Ewald; Jonas Hedlund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Communicable diseases; acute phase proteins; adult; Administration Oral; aminoglycosides; amyloidosis; antibiotics; bacterial infections; body temperature; C-reactive protein; cefuroxime; cystitis; cytokines; elderly; infant; interleukin-6; newborn; pyelonephritis; serum amyloid A protein; virus diseases; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious diseases; Infektionssjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) is an acute phase protein that has recently gained increasing interest as a potential marker for disease and treatment monitoring. We investigated SAA and CRP levels in (a) patients with various common infectious diseases (n=98), (b) patients with pyelonephritis (n=37) versus patients with cystitis (n=32), (c) healthy individuals of varying ages (n=231), (d) very immature newborn infants with or without nosocomial infections (NIs) (n=72) and (e) patients with bacterial infections treated with cefuroxime (n=81).
