“Inflammatory” Cytokines

Inflammatory Cytokines and type 2 diabetes

Inflammatory cytokines increase in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome. This review focuses on inflammatory cytokines such as C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and adiponectin, a cytokine produced by adipose tissue and associated with insulin sensitivity. Despite the major role of cytokines in the development of T2D, in the case of adiponectin still...

Inhibition of inflammatory cytokines

• Vol 10 • November 2008 816 Inflammatory bowel disease in childhood is often diagnosed at a vulnerable time of growth and development. Malnutrition secondary to reduced appetite, increased metabolism and decreased absorptive capacity increase the risk of complications in children and adolescents diagnosed with IBD. Current treatment options include 5-aminosalicylic acid, antibiotics, corticost...

Inflammatory Cytokines Regulate Function

Anti-inflammatory cytokines.

The anti-inflammatory cytokines are a series of immunoregulatory molecules that control the proinflammatory cytokine response. Cytokines act in concert with specific cytokine inhibitors and soluble cytokine receptors to regulate the human immune response. Their physiologic role in inflammation and pathologic role in systemic inflammatory states are increasingly recognized. Major anti-inflammato...
