There is a significant clinical need for new treatment modalities for chronic sinus disease. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) causes substantial morbidity and detracts from quality of life for 16% of the US population. The disease accrues an estimated aggregated cost of $8.6b annual in healthcare

Data suggest, that among the amino acids, the meta- and ortho- isomers of tyrosine are potential markers of oxydative stress. The changes in their serum levels (and urinary excretion) in sepsis were found to be parallel to the changes of the common inflammatory markers, i.e. C-reactive protein (CRP)
Vitiligo, the most common depigmenting disorder is an 'idiopathic', acquired pigmentary disorder caused by the loss of functional melanocytes from the epidermis. The course of the disease is unpredictable but is often progressive with phases of stabilized depigmentation. It usually begins during

Recruitment of subjects:
24 obese (but otherwise healthy) participants with elevated cytokine levels and 24 non-obese subjects with normal cytokine levels will be recruited. Following the first experimental visit (see below), participants will be divided in a double-blind fashion into four groups

IBD involves a shift from a regulated intestinal immune response to one that is driven by unrestrained immune cell activation and
PURPOSE:
Knowledge about the effects of bacterial endotoxin and cytokines (and inflammation in general) in humans on protein, glucose and lipid metabolism and intracellular signalling in muscle and fat is sporadic and it is uncertain whether endotoxin and cytokines act directly in fat and muscle
