BACKGROUND
The prevalence of peanut allergies is increasing. Peanuts and many other allergen sources contain significant amounts of triglycerides, which affect absorption of antigens but have unknown effects on sensitization and anaphylaxis. We recently reported that dietary medium-chain
This study indicates that hypertriglyceridemia and associated pre-beta hyperlipidemia (Fredrickson's type IV lipid pattern) is frequently associated with intrinsic allergic disease characterized by chemical intolerant (hypersensitivity) states, particularly of the aspirin intolerant type and to a
Background: The effect of diet on allergic rhinitis (AR), its severity in children, and whether it modifies AR depending on genetic susceptibility are unknown. We investigated the association between dietary patterns and AR in school
We previously demonstrated that water-soluble egg yolk extract is not related to elevation of serum immunoglobulin E, which can initiate allergic reactions; however, it increases the level of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and the activity of B lymphocytes. In this study, egg white (EW)
Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most prevalent allergic diseases in children. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum concentrations of vitamin E and AR to determine if the vitamin E level is
n--3 Fatty acids derived from fish oil reduce plasma triacylglycerols (triglycerides) and increase HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol); however, the effect of n--3 fatty acid supplementation during pregnancy, a hyperlipidaemic state, remains unknown. We took the opportunity to investigate
A study was carried out in 30 hospitalized diabetics suffering from allergic conditions to assess the effects of ketotifen on various laboratory parameters. Ten of the patients were on diet only, 10 on biguanides plus diet, and 10 on sulphonylureas plus diet. Most were overweight. Patients received
Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis an polyneuritis were caused in male rats of 2.5-3.0 kg body mass of the Shinshilla strain by means of administration into the foot of the animals pads of homogenous basic protein myelin from bovine spinal cord and myelin from bovine sciatic nerve as a mixture
Despite the crucial role of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in proper immune responses, the effect of GR hypersensitivity on inflammation is rarely reported. To fill this knowledge gap, we exploited the natural gain-of-function substitution in the porcine glucocorticoid receptor
Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism was studied in preparations of purified human alveolar macrophages (AM) from healthy subjects (HS = 5), allergic asthmatics (ABA = 9) and chronic bronchitis patients (CB = 7). AM incubated for 6 to 24 h in the presence of labeled AA and for an additional 5 h without
Hepatic clearance is a major route of endotoxin detoxification. In the present study, the potential relationship between TCDD-induced endotoxin hypersensitivity and hepatotoxicity was examined. Acute doses of 50, 100, or 200 micrograms TCDD/kg body weight induced an endotoxin hypersensitive state in
The authors recently reported the occurrence of low fasting serum triglyceride (TG) and high free fatty acid (FFA) levels in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. TG estimation in diverse groups of patients with autoimmune disease or hyperactive immune response confirmed the occurrence of a similar
