TL;DR: The study confirmed that increased inflammatory cytokines lead to the persistence of inflammation in obese subjects, however, some other factors, such as gender, may contribute to the development of obesity-related inflammatory states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perforin: an important player in immune response
TL;DR: The problem of abnormal perforin production in diseases such as: hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), leukemias and lymphomas, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain inflammation and hypertension: the chicken or the egg?
TL;DR: It is suggested that renin-angiotensin-driven hypertension encompasses feedback and feedforward mechanisms in the development of neurogenic hypertension while low-intensity, chronic peripheral inflammation of any origin may serve as a model of a feedforward mechanism in this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adiponectin as a biomarker of the metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents
TL;DR: Adiponectin has been associated with both central obesity and increased visceral adipose tissue and it has anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic, and potent insulin-sensitizing (anti-diabetic) effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Brain Entangled: The Contribution of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps to the Diseases of the Central Nervous System.
TL;DR: The emerging role of NETs in various pathological conditions affecting the CNS is discussed and it was recently observed that accumulating granulocytes may release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which damage the BBB and directly injure surrounding neurons.
