Inflammablog4: NSAIDs and Antidepressants...
http://inflammablog4.blogspot.com/2011/05/nsaids-and-antidepressants.html
The study presented investigates how concurrent intake of antidepressants and anti-inflammatories modulate p11 levels in the body. p11 is a small regulatory protein of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Past studies have linked low p11 levels to depressive like symptoms and higher levels of p11 to antidepressant activities. This was shown using p11 knockout mice and mice that were induced to express more p11. The authors also investigated what cytokines are linked to increased levels of p11...

Correlation Between Adipocytes and the Immunity. Adipocytes and macrophages both contribute to the stimulus of IL-6 and TNF-alpha, and high levels of IL-6 have been linked to CRP, which is a protein found in obese people. In addition, TNF-alpha can lead to insulin resistance by inducing serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, which can inhibit insulin signaling.

Back to week 3: Birth control pill is linked to heart disease? However the pill has also been studied to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer due to the estrogen present. But that's a whole other story. Pros and cons, pros and cons. The same study revealed that even though levels of CRP were twice as high in the women who took the pill, both group's levels were considered to be in the "normal" range.

Reperfusion Injury and Luteolin. This study shows that luteolin acts by neroprotection in primary cultured neurons exposed to oxidative stress and anti-ischemia in animals insulted by I/R (Zhao 7). I think that this study is a good start and that this luteolin should be studied more in the future so that the exact mechanisms can be found and to see how it would translate to human models.

Function of CD 28-. I remember in class there was a question regarding CD 28- and its function. I found myself digging through my brain and eventully came to the conclusion that I didn't know what it did either! Like all science nerds, I went off on a search and finally figured it out. It turns out that CD 28 is also expressed on T cells! It has an intense co-stimulatory signal for producing interleukins. CD28 also happens to be the only B7 receptor expressed on naive T cells! Irons effect on ROS. After ...

The inflammatory response is a complex cascade of steps that include an activation of white blood cells, the release of immune system chemicals such as complement and cytokines, and the production and release of inflammatory mediators and prostaglandins. Inflammation may be acute or chronic or relapsing-remitting depending on the disease course. Most conventional treatments for autoimmune disease, including corticosteroids, work by reducing or suppressing inflammation. May 4, 2010 at 12:50 AM. There is a...
