Cachexia: a nutritional syndrome?
Cachexia leads to nutritional deficits including anorexia and loss of fat and muscle mass. In persons with precachexia or early cachexia, for example, old persons with weight loss and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, there is strong evidence that nutritional support improves outcomes. Limited evidence suggests that this may be true for heart failure and chronic kidney disease. The evidenc...
متن کاملProinflammatory Cytokines in Peritonitis
RATIONALE We performed this study with the purpose of revealing different aspects of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome in peritonitis. OBJECTIVES The aim of the presentation was to make a research on some of the immune response mediators in secondary peritonitis and to observe their capacity to anticipate the evolution towards septic complications. METHODS AND RESULTS We have unde...
متن کاملThe role of cytokines in cancer cachexia.
A large number of observations point towards cytokines, polypeptides released mainly by immune cells, as the molecules responsible for the metabolic derangements associated with cancer-bearing states. Indeed, these alterations lead to a pathological state known as cancer cachexia which is, unfortunately, one of the worst effects of malignancy, accounting for nearly a third of cancer deaths. It ...
متن کاملNutritional therapy for cancer cachexia.
T he process of inflammation has a paradoxical effect. This is mostly due to the metabolic responses triggered by the release of the three proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin 1b (IL-1b), tumour necrosis factor a (TNF-a), and interleukin 6 (IL-6). As an integral part of the body’s response to infection and injury, these mediators release substrate, from host tissues, to support T and B lympho...
متن کاملComparative effects of daily and weekly boron supplementation on plasma steroid hormones and proinflammatory cytokines
Introduction: Boron possesses widespread properties and is important for human and animal nutrition. Since Boron is rapidly bioavailable, the objective of the present study was to determine whether acute (hourly or daily), and weekly supplementationcould have any significant biological effects on the synthesis of steroids as well as inflammatory biomarkers. Methods: Eight male volunteers part...
