Forty-three primary gastrointestinal T cell lymphomas were investigated for the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) by polymerase chain reaction, RNA in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. In addition, the association between EBV and clinicopathological characteristics of these lymphomas
OBJECTIVE
T-cell mediated immune response to dietary gluten and cytokines release are important for the enteropathy seen in celiac disease. We investigated the serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in celiac children before and after gluten
OBJECTIVE
to determine the frequency of development of osteopenia/ostoporosis (OP) vitamin D deficiency, some population risk factors, and the effects of alpha-calcidol and calcitriol on bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with gluten-sensitivity celiac disease (GSCD).
METHODS
Densitometry of the
Skeletal demineralization and mineral metabolism derangement are well-recognized features of untreated celiac disease (CD). Although treatment with a gluten-free diet appears to prevent bone loss while correcting skeletal demineralization in childhood, there is evidence that bone mineral density
OBJECTIVE
The association between gluten and body weight is inconsistent. Previously, we showed that a gluten-free diet reduces weight gain without changing food intake in mice fed high-fat diets. In the present study, we investigated the effects of gluten intake on fat metabolism, thermogenesis and
This study was done to clarify the effects of dietary wheat gluten on the hepatotoxic action of D-galactosamine (GalN) and endotoxin (Etx). Male Wistar rats fed a high casein or high gluten (supplemented with L-Lys and L-Thr) diet were injected with GalN or Etx, and the plasma glutamate oxaloacetate
Duodenal biopsy specimens from 51 coeliac patients (children and young adults) and 13 non-coeliac controls were maintained in organ culture for 24 h. Morphometric determinants were compared after culture in the presence of different gluten fractions, after culture on gluten-free medium, and in
Gluten-free (GF) diet alleviates type 1 diabetes in animal models and possibly in humans. We recently showed that fatty acid-induced insulin secretion is enhanced by enzymatically digested gluten (gliadin) stimulation in INS-1E insulinoma cells. We therefore hypothesized that GF diet would induce
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether there was increased nitric oxide (NO) production from coeliac small intestinal biopsies cultured in vitro with gluten and whether the inhibition of NO production could prevent gluten-induced enterotoxicity. The relationship between NO production with the
Celiac disease (CD) affects approximately 1% of the general population while an estimated additional 6% suffers from a recently characterized, rapidly emerging, similar disease, referred to as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). The only effective treatment of CD and NCGS requires removal of
Our aim in this study was to determine soluble tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK) and interleukin-17A (IL-17A) levels in celiac disease, and their association with the gluten diet and autoantibodies. Eighty patients with celiac diagnosis and 80 healthy control
OBJECTIVE
The B cell-activating factor of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family (BAFF) was recently described as a critical survival factor for B cells, and its expression is increased in several autoimmune diseases. Abnormal production of BAFF disturbs immune tolerance allowing the survival of
Coeliac disease is precipitated in susceptible subjects by ingestion of wheat gluten or gluten related prolamins from some other cereals. The disease is strongly associated with certain HLA-DQ heterodimers, for example, DQ2 (DQ alpha 1*0501, beta 1*0201) in most patients and apparently DQ8 (DQ alpha
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate changes and relationships of IGFs and IGFBPs, serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and auxological parameters at diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD) and at 6 months and 12 months after starting a gluten-free diet (GFD), compared with a control
BACKGROUND
Recently, the population of individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) who do not have celiac disease but show improved symptoms with a gluten-free diet, has increased. Enzyme replacement therapy using digestive enzymes is expected to improve the symptoms of NCGS and be
