Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally occurring polyphenol found in many plants including grapes, peanuts and berries. Resveratrol has attracted a lot of research attention based on preclinical data showing anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties through several mechanisms.RSV is available as
Vitamin D is important for healthy bones. More recently, anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D have been found in laboratory and animal studies and vitamin D may be beneficial for inflammatory diseases. Gingivitis is a common inflammatory disease of the gums that develops in response to bacterial
A diet and physical activity intervention was developed to provide knowledge and skills to facilitate health behavior change in African-American Baptist Church members in South Carolina and promote healthy lifestyles to reduce colon cancer disparities. The intervention entitled, "H.E.A.L.S. (Healthy
Our primary hypothesis is that inflammatory SNPs may regulate the degree of the inflammatory response, with obesity modifying the severity of the disease. In this instance, asthma that develops in the context of obesity demonstrates the potential deleterious relationship between a specific
A total of one hundred eighty African patients (97men and 83 women) were included in the study. Eighty patients developed septic complication during ICU stay (sepsis group). Eighty patients were critically ill without evidence of infectious organism (SIRS group). Patients received anti-inflammatory
A cross sectional study among healthy participants randomly selected from the population living in the Nanoro HDSS cohort to (a) study the relation between vaccination and morbidity (including hemoglobin levels, subclinical malaria and stunting) (b) perform hemocytometry in order to determine
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), expose patients to substantial risk of toxicity. Risks are compounded by the fact that patients may frequently take both Over-the-Counter (OTC) and prescription NSAIDs, a fact they often do not report to their physician. Further, our prior work suggests
- Uterine leiomyoma (also known as fibroids) are benign estrogen-dependent tumors of the uterine wall. Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female reproductive tract, occurring in 20-70% of premenopausal women in the reproductive age women and cause multiple clinical complications such
Fish oil supplements will be given to subjects with different variants in the promoter region of the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) gene and outcome measures will be evaluated after 6 wk of supplementation. These outcomes include ALOX5 protein levels (also called 5-lipoxygenase, or 5-LO),
NASH is a disease characterized by elevated plasma aminotransferases and histopathological changes in liver characterized by hepatocellular steatosis, chronic inflammation and perisinusoidal fibrosis. NASH affects (~30-40%) of obese and type 2 diabetic subjects. While the pathogenesis of NASH is
Randomization for the double blind, placebo controlled, clinical trial: Recruitment will continue until 60 volunteers have completed the intervention study. Based on previous experience with similar studies, we anticipate 20% of screened patients to be ineligible or drop out, which means, so we plan
Plasmatic proinflammatory molecules (C-reactive protein, orosomucoid, RANTES, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, IL-1A, IL-1B, ET-1, IL-4, IL-10, TNFalpha, IFNgamma), hormones from the hypothalami-pituitary-adrenal axis (cortisol, ACTH), and hypothalamic peptids (arginine vasopressin, corticotrophin-releasing
Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is a type of scarring alopecia commonly seen in women of African American descent. The etiology is not completely understood, but CCCA likely results from a combination of hair-grooming practices, a pro-inflammatory state within the hair follicles, and
Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is a scarring, inflammatory alopecia seen more commonly in women of African descent. The distinct pathophysiology of CCCA is poorly understood, but it is known to involve inflammation directed at the upper part of the hair follicle where the stem cells
