Increased IgG1, IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-6 responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens in patients with Tuberculosis are lower after chemotherapy
Ana Márcia Menezes de Mattos,Caroline de Souza Almeida,Kees L. M. C. Franken,Caio César de Souza Alves,Clarice Abramo,Maria Aparecida de Souza,Marcos L'Hotellier,Márcio José Martins Alves,Ana Paula Ferreira,Sergio C. Oliveira,Tom H. M. Ottenhoff,Henrique Couto Teixeira +11 more
TL;DR: Levels of serum IgG antibodies against ESAT-6, CFP-10 and 16 kDa antigens indicate that a T(h)1 phenotype against early phase Mtb antIGens appears to be dominant in the peripheral blood of patients with active pulmonary TB that is reduced after chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genistein down-modulates pro-inflammatory cytokines and reverses clinical signs of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
Marcio L. De Paula,David Henrique Rodrigues,Henrique Couto Teixeira,Michele M. Barsante,Maria Aparecida de Souza,Ana Paula Ferreira +5 more
TL;DR: Genistein treatment ameliorated significantly the clinical symptoms of EAE and modulating pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, suggesting that genistein might be a potential therapy for MS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of hydrogen peroxide by peripheral blood monocytes and specific macrophages during experimental infection with Trypanosoma cruzi in vivo.
Rossana C. N. Melo,Daniela Leite Fabrino,Heloisa D'Avila,Henrique Couto Teixeira,Ana Paula Ferreira +4 more
TL;DR: A novel finding is that H2O2production seems related to specific types of monocytes/macrophages that are able to release this agent when in presence of high parasite load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of chronic periodontitis decreases serum prohepcidin levels in patients with chronic kidney disease
Eduardo Machado Vilela,Jessica do Amaral Bastos,Natália Maria da Silva Fernandes,Ana Paula Ferreira,Alfredo Chaoubah,Marcus Gomes Bastos +5 more
TL;DR: By inducing a decline in the systemic inflammatory response and a decrease in serum prohepcidin, successful periodontal treatment may represent an important means of ameliorating the inflammatory burden seen in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salivary Alpha‐Amylase Activity: A Possible Indicator of Pain‐Induced Stress in Orthodontic Patients
Marcio José da Silva Campos,Nádia Rezende Barbosa Raposo,Ana Paula Ferreira,Robert Willer Farinazzo Vitral +3 more
TL;DR: There was no correlation between alpha-amylase concentrations in the saliva and pain intensity, although the patients had a significant and progressive increase of alpha-Amylase levels during the assessment period, which may reflect the psychological stress caused by the presence and activation of the fixed appliance.
