...-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins 6 (1L-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Relation of TNF-α with obesity induced IR and T2DM is unclear as results obtained from different studies are very controversial.
Objective: This study was designed to compare TNF-α levels and insulin resistance in obese and non-obese type 2 diabetics.
Methodology: A cross sectional comparative study was conducted in di...

... different cytokines and interleukins involved in inflammation. Real-Time PCR results showed a down-regulation of TNF-α, COX-2, IL-6, IL-1β, NF-κβ1and up-regulation of IL-4, IL-10 and I-κB genes. Levels of antioxidants, superoxide dismutase and catalase were determined to be significantly higher (p<0.05) in the group treated with E-AM compared to the arthritic group. In addition, histopathological examination indicated reduction ...

... (interferon γ and interleukins (IL)-12) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) and innate immune responses (total white blood count, phagocytosis and respiratory burst). Our results demonstrated that all vaccines have induced both innate and adaptive immune responses. However, the adjuvant with alum hydroxide mixed with sonicated antigens and killed bacteria induced higher pro-inflammatory cytokine effects (IFN- γ P ˂ 0.05, P <0.0 1)...

... detecting the levels of interleukins (IL-2 and IL-6) and immunoglobulins (IgG and IgE). The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidative status (TOS) were assessed. The spleen and thymus were preserved for histopathological and ultra structural analysis. The male offsprings, who were exposed to low and high COC levels throughout their mothers’ pregnancy, statistically P≤0.05 exhibited a significant elevation in IL-2, IL-6, IgG, IgE and TOS le...

...-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukins were assayed. Moreover, resistin, nitric oxide (NO), C-reactive protein (CRP), antinuclear antibodies (ANA) levels and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were estimated. Soy phytoestrogens diminished body weight gain (P<0.05), promoted total leukocytes count (P<0.05), abridged (P<0.05) the levels of interleukins, NO, CRP, resisting, ANA and COX-2 than control. Withdrawal of phytoestrogens...
