Purpose: In some diabetic patients receiving omalizumab therapy, blood glucose regulation is impaired. However, the effect of omalizumab on glucose homeostasis in non-diabetic patients remains unknown.Methods: The patients were given subcutaneous omalizumab at a dose of 300 mg every

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a disorder characterized by recurrent transient itchy wheels of 6 weeks duration or longer. The cause cannot be pinpointed in about 40% of patients. To elucidate the possible association between CSU and hyperlipidemia, 40 CSU patients and 40 group
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
Introduction: Low grade inflammation is associated with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and atherosclerosis. There are little data on the relationship between urticarial inflammation and atherosclerosis. The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet
The therapeutic potential of the chelator tiferron (sodium-4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzene disulphonate; 300 mg kg(-1), i.p.) and adjuvants, i.e. alpha-tocopherol (25 mg kg(-1), p.o.), propolis (a honey-bee hive product; 200 mg kg(-1), p.o.) and piperine (10 mg kg(-1), p.o.) were evaluated individually
BACKGROUND
Low density lipoprotein apheresis is used as a complementary method for treating hypercholesterolemic patients who cannot reach target LDL-cholesterol levels on conventional dietary and drug treatment. The DALI system (direct absorption of lipoproteins) is the only extracorporeal
Hypercholesterolemia, cholesterol-enriched diet and oxidative stress have been shown to increase serum total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels resulting in development of atherosclerosis. Antioxidants play an important role in inhibiting and scavenging free
The authors tested the tolerance and therapeutic effect of desopimon preparation (1-p-chlorophenyl-2-aminopropane hydrochloride) in 44 subjects with obesity--I, II and III degree. They found a manifested appetite-inhibiting effect of the medicament in 41 of the patients and slight in two (the
Synergistic therapeutic potential of ferritin (5mg/kg, i.p.) and propolis (honeybee hive product; 200mg/kg, p.o.) was analyzed to encounter the beryllium induced biochemical and ultra morphological alterations. Female albino rats were exposed to beryllium nitrate (1mg/kg, i.p.) daily for 28 days
We evaluated the safety and efficacy of dextran sulfate low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis in the treatment of three children (aged 6, 7, and 10 years) with severe familial homozygous hypercholesterolemia and undetectable LDL receptor activity. A total of 35 double plasma volume procedures were
BACKGROUND
Acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL) is associated with leptin deficiency as a result of adipose tissue loss and hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis. It may coexist with other autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis,
Hypertrophic obesity inhibits activation of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), considered the key mediator of the fully differentiated and insulin sensitive adipocyte phenotype. We examined the effects of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (Cape), isolated from propolis, a honeybee
