Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction01:30

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

451
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Lipid-derived Compounds in the Human Body

7.2K
Fats and lipids are crucial components in the human body. Some lipid-derived compounds, such as fat-soluble vitamins, eicosanoids, lipoproteins, and glycolipids, also play unique roles to support various  biological processes .
Fat-soluble Vitamins
Fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, are required in minimal quantities, but their deficiencies can lead to severely abnormal physiological conditions. For example, vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness, dry skin,...

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction01:30

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction

1.6K
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the buildup of plaques on the arterial inner wall, causing them to narrow and harden over time. These plaques comprise lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue. The process primarily affects the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, reducing blood flow in any artery.Etiology and risk factorsThe cause of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, involving a complex interplay among endothelial injury, lipid...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

2.8K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Inflammatory Response01:28

Inflammatory Response

17.5K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Immunology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Adipokines are key regulators of metabolic functions, secreted by white adipose tissue.
  • Obesity leads to excess adipokine secretion, contributing to metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis.
  • Psoriasis, an immune-mediated skin disease, is linked to obesity and cardiovascular disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of adipokines in psoriasis.
  • To examine adipokine profiles in psoriasis patients and with therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on adipokines and psoriasis.
  • Analysis of adipokine changes in relation to psoriasis and its treatment.

Main Results:

  • Adipokines are implicated in metabolic regulation and inflammation.
  • Altered adipokine profiles are observed in psoriasis patients.
  • Psoriasis therapy may influence adipokine levels.

Conclusions:

  • Adipokines may mediate cutaneous inflammation in psoriasis.
  • Adipokines could link psoriasis to its associated comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease.
