[ 1 ] - Immunomodulation of TLR2 and TLR4 by G2013 (alfa-L-Guluronic acid) in CVID Patients

Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immune disorder associated with hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent infections and autoimmune diseases. CVID patients are frequently in contact with infectious pathogens leading to the activation of innate immunity through Toll-like receptors (TLR) affecting adaptive immunity. The aim of the present study was to test the immunomedula...

[ 2 ] - Vitamin D3 Induces Gene Expression of Ox-LDL Scavenger Receptors in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rat Aortas: New Insight into the Role of Vitamin D in Diabetic Atherosclerosis

Background: Several lines of evidence suggest that oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) scavenger receptors play a crucial role in the genesis and progression of diabetic atherosclerosis. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of vitamin D3 on gene expression of lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1), scavenger receptor-A (SR-A), Cluster of Differentiation 36 (CD36), and Cluster of Differentiation 68 (...

[ 3 ] - Vitamin D suppresses cellular pathways of diabetes complication in liver

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin D on glucose metabolism, as well as the expression of five key genes involved in the development of diabetes complications in liver tissue of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups (8 ra...

[ 4 ] - تاثیر تمرینات مقاومتی بر سطوح آدیپولین سرم و شاخص مقاومت به انسولین در زنانِ چاق

آدیپولین (CTRP12) آدیپوکاینی است نوظهور با خاصیت ضدالتهابی که عمدتاً در بافت چربی بیان و سنتز میشود. آدیپولین ضمن بهبود حساسیت به انسولین، در کاهش سطح گلوکز خون نیز نقش دارد. پژوهش حاضر تاثیر تمرینات مقاومتی بر سطوح آدیپولین و شاخص مقاومت به انسولین (HOMA-IR) را در زنان چاق مورد بررسی قرار داده است. بدین منظور 20 زن چاقِ یائسه و غیرفعال (شاخص تودۀ بدنی> 30 کیلوگرم بر مترمربع، 65-50 سا...
