Is inflammation on Papanicolaou smear a risk factor for preterm delivery?
Unlike bacterial vaginosis, inflammation on routine Pap smear does not appear to be a risk for subsequent preterm birth. We are unable to use inflammation on Pap smear as a surrogate for more specific diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.
Adiponectin replacement attenuates microvascular inflammation in DIO-sepsis mice. Mechanistically, adiponectin treatment in FFA-fed mouse macrophages attenuates inflammatory response via SIRT1-dependent and -independent pathways.
