CSF and plasma adipokines after tonic–clonic seizures
PURPOSE Adipokines, especially leptin and adiponectin, have gained increasing importance in pathophysiology of various neurological diseases including epilepsy. There are experimental data suggesting a role for leptin in the genesis of seizures and neuroprotection related to seizures. However there are no clinical studies on the effects of epileptic seizures on adipokines. METHODS We measured...
متن کاملImprovement in insulin resistance and reduction in plasma inflammatory adipokines after weight loss in obese dogs.
Obesity is now a major disease of dogs, predisposing to numerous disorders including diabetes mellitus. Adipocytes are active endocrine cells, and human obesity is characterized by derangements in inflammatory adipokine production. However, it is unclear as to whether similar changes occur in dogs. The purpose of the current study was to assess insulin sensitivity and inflammatory adipokine pro...
متن کاملSignals from fat after injury: plasma adipokines and ghrelin concentrations in the severely burned.
INTRODUCTION Hypermetabolism is universal in the severely burned and is characterized by catabolism of lean mass and body fat with associated insulin resistance. Adipokines are likely to play a role in these changes but have not been identified to date in burn patients. METHODS From a single burn ICU, 17 burn patients with an expected stay>14 days were studied. Study period began within 14 da...
متن کاملPlasma and CSF oxytocin levels after intranasal and intravenous oxytocin in awake macaques.
Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide that mediates a variety of complex social behaviors in animals and humans. Intranasal OT has been used as an experimental therapeutic for human conditions characterized by deficits in social functioning, especially autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. However, it is currently under intense debate whether intranasal delivery of OT reaches the central nervou...
متن کاملEffect of therapeutic plasma exchange on plasma levels and total removal of adipokines and inflammatory markers
BACKGROUND Aside from well-established inflammatory mediators adipokines have recently been found to play an important role in a variety of immunologic diseases. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an established treatment modality for the acute removal of pathophysiological relevant disease mediators. The aim of this study was to determine adipokine removal during TPE therapy. METHODS 21 Ca...
