The Inflammatory Response
The inflammatory response is by
nature designed as the body's means of coping with various traumas and
infections. However, overreaction of the inflammatory response has proven
very harmful to the body. A perfect
example of the harmful effects of inflammation is the destruction of joint
tissue in Rheumatoid Arthritis: NEJM, Mar 22, 2001. Likely
explanation for all pain: Inflammation, omoigui07.txt. Protease-activated
receptor-2 in enteric disease which may account for the presence of abdominal
pain and diffuse symptoms in Blastocystis infection, boorom.etal08.txt. Identification
and treatment of symptoms associated with inflammation in medically ill
patients, dantzer.etal07.txt, dantzer.etal07.pdf. New
research identified a promising new target for autoimmune disease
(inflammatory) treatment -- a cell-surface receptor called DR3, niams.press08.txt.
Studies on Inflammation in CFS and FM
Decreased DHEA
sulfate but normal insulin-like growth factor in CFS: Relevance for the inflammatory
response in CFS, maes.etal05.txt. Low grade
inflammation and arterial wave reflection in patients with CFS, spence.etal07.txt. A subset of FM
patients have findings suggestive of chronic inflammatory demyelinating
polyneuropathy and appear to respond to IVIgIn FM, caro.etal07.txt. Lymphocyte Glucocorticoid Sensitivity
Glucocorticoid sensitivity of immune cells in
severely fatigued adolescent girls: A longitudinal study, wolbeek.etal.07.txt, wolbeek.etal07.txt, wolbeek.etal07.pdf. HPA axis reactivity and lymphocyte
glucocorticoid sensitivity in FM and chronic pelvic pain, wingenfeld.etal07.txt. The Brain
More
and more evidence has been pointing in the direction of CFS being caused by
inflammation in the brain, klimas06.txt. A study on the effect of cytokines on brain
functioning was referred in the press,
Yirmiya et al., 2001. The Brain in FM

study in FM patients on the relations between neural and immune functions in the
brain, Lekander et al., 2000. Psychopharmacological medicine, including
antidepressive medicine influence the brain inflammatory response, Maes et al., 1999. |
