Sauna bathing and systemic inflammation
European Journal of Epidemiology, 2017We aimed to investigate whether frequency of sauna bathing is associated with the levels of serum C-reactive protein. C-reactive protein is a leading blood marker of systemic inflammation. The study consisted of 2084 men (42-60 years) without acute or chronic inflammation.

The Kinin System in Inflammation
1993Bradykinin and related kinins are important mediators of most kinds of inflammation. Mechanisms of kinin production in injury, infection and immune system activation are discussed. Bradykinin antagonists show great promise for development of new drugs for inflammation.

Systemic inflammation after trauma
Injury, 2007Trauma is still one of the main reasons for death among the population worldwide. Mortality occurring early after injury is due to "first hits", including severe organ injury, hypoxia, hypovolaemia or head trauma. Massive injury leads to activation of the immune system and the early inflammatory immune response after trauma has been defined as systemic

Encephalopathy of Infection and Systemic Inflammation
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2013This review will discuss several intracranial infections and sepsis-associated encephalopathy. Intracranial infections and inflammation of interest to the neurologist and EEG technicians include viral and autoimmune encephalitides; bacterial, fungal, and other meningitides; cerebritis; and brain abscess and subdural empyema.

Inflammation and the apopto-phagocytic system
Immunology Letters, 2006Although under normal conditions many cells die daily mainly by apoptosis in human tissues, inflammation does not occur. The redundant function of a relatively large number of molecules are available to recognize changes occurring on the surface of apoptotic cells, to opsonize the dead cells and to engulf the apoptotic cells previously opsonized or not.

Role of the Melanocortin System in Inflammation
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006Abstract: In recent years, scientific interest in melanocortins (MC) has progressively increased due to their wide range of effects and expression on various tissues.Primarily discovered as mediators of skin pigmentation, recent research has shown their important roles in various body functions, such as energy homeostasis, sexual function, and ...

Lipid Modulation and Systemic Inflammation
Critical Care Clinics, 2001N-6 and n-3 PUFAs from the diet are absorbed and reach the cell where they interact with fatty acid binding proteins within cell membranes and cytoplasm. They are processed in the endoplasmic reticulum (desaturation-elongation reactions, lipid synthesis, eicosanoid and epoxide production) and in peroxisomes (beta-oxidation, synthesis, oxidation ...

Activin A and follistatin in systemic inflammation
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2004Inflammation is a complex process regulated by a cascade of cytokines and growth factors. This review summarizes the emerging evidence implicating activin A and follistatin in the inflammatory process. Our recent studies have highlighted that activin A is released early in the process as part of the circulatory cytokine cascade during acute systemic ...

Inflammation, Sepsis, and the Coagulation System
HämostaseologieAbstractSepsis has been a major health problem for centuries and it is still the leading cause of hospital deaths. Several studies in the past decades have identified numerous biochemical abnormalities in severe cases, and many of these studies provide evidence of the perturbation of the hemostatic system.

Controlling the complement system in inflammation
Immunopharmacology, 1997Inappropriate or excessive activation of the complement system can lead to harmful, potentially life-threatening consequences due to severe inflammatory tissue destruction. These consequences are clinically manifested in various disorders, including septic shock, multiple organ failure and hyperacute graft rejection.
