Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D3 down-regulates monocyte TLR expression and triggers hyporesponsiveness to pathogen-associated molecular patterns.

TL;DR: The data provide strong evidence that 1,25(OH)2D3 primes monocytes to respond less effectively to bacterial cell wall components in a VDR‐dependent mechanism, most likely due to decreased levels of TLR2 and TLR4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of toll-like receptor 4 expression on human monocytes by tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-6: tumor necrosis factor evokes lipopolysaccharide hyporesponsiveness, whereas interleukin-6 enhances lipopolysaccharide activity.

TL;DR: It is concluded that not only LPS but also TNF-&agr; and IL-6 have the potency to regulate the immune response via TLR-4 and can increase the responsiveness of mononuclear phagocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum phenylalanine in patients post trauma and with sepsis correlate to neopterin concentrations

TL;DR: This assumption that Oxidative stress due to immune activation and inflammation may destroy cofactor 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin and impair PAH activity is supported by the correlation found between higher neopterin concentrations and higher phenylalanine to tyrosine ratio, which estimates efficacy of PAH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated serum levels of epithelial cell apoptosis-specific cytokeratin 18 neoepitope m30 in critically ill patients.

TL;DR: The increased serum level of the CK18 neoepitope in septic patients indicates a heightened apoptotic turnover in epithelial cells as compared with trauma patients and healthy controls and interestingly, nonsurviving trauma patients exhibited a significant increase in the M30 neoantigen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-1, members of the TGF-beta superfamily and follistatin do not reflect different stages of dynapenia and sarcopenia in elderly women.

TL;DR: Neither a single nor a combined set of tested biomarkers reflected the presence of dynapenia or sarcopenia in elderly women, however, due to the associations of IGF-1 and GDF-15 with correlates of muscle mass and function, these parameters remain promising candidates in a potential set of blood-based biomarkers to diagnose sarc Openia and/or dynapENia.
