Abstract

Leptin is the forerunner of the adipokine superfamily and plays a key role in regulating energy expenditure and neuroendocrine function. Researches into leptin put emphasize not only on the metabolic role but also its immunoregulatory effect on immune response through immunocyte activation and cytokine secretion. Leptin acts on receptors that are widespread throughout the body and that are expressed across many tissue types. As a consequence, the abnormal expression of leptin has been found to correlate with a number of diseases, including cancers, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. The significance of leptin in the development of autoimmune diseases is becoming increasingly prominent. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe atypical autoimmune disease that causes damage to multiple organ systems. It is characterised by the following: impaired clearance of apoptotic cells, loss of tolerance to self-antigens, aberrant activation of T cells and B cells, and chronic inflammation. The heightened immunocyte response in SLE means that these physiological systems are particularly vulnerable to regulation by leptin in addition to being of great significance to the research field. Our current review provides insight into the regulatory roles that leptin plays on immune effector cells in SLE.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
