Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with the growth of endometrial cells out of uterus and in the peritoneal cavity. T cell subsets participate in the establishment and progress of the disease by producing different cytokines. Objective: To investigate a group of cytokines related to Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg subsets within both peripheral blood...

One of the key factors in development psoriasis is inflammation. In people with psoriasis, immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, causing them to grow too quickly. This leads buildup dead cells on surface skin. Vitamin D can help reduce inflammation by suppressing production pro-inflammatory cytokines. study aimed conduct a systematic review explore potential vitamin supplementati...

fumonisins, a family of mycotoxins, are mainly toxic and carcinogenic. the present study was carried out to evaluate fumonisin b1 (fb1) effects on the production of inflammatory cytokines by gastric and colon cell lines. the study was performed on two cell lines under in vitro condition, including gastric epithelial cell line (ags) and human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (sw742). lipopolysacch...

Current models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)' implicate lymphokines in the recruitment and activation of T cells in the synovium (1, 2) . However, adequate documentation of significant amounts of these proteins in the joint is limited . In fact, recent studies have found only very low levels of IFN-y in synovial fluid (SF) and tissue of patients with RA (3) . This relative lack of IFN-y seems co...

The cause of mucosal injury in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is not clear but likely involves infectious agents or other toxins followed by an abnormal immune response in genetically susceptible individuals. The inflammatory cytokines appear to play a key role in both the susceptibility of some individuals and the tissue damage that accompanies IBD. The generation of transgenic and gene-targ...
