Does bacterial endotoxin induce biphasic changes in plasma ghrelin in healthy humans?
Ghrelin is one of the first hormones rapidly increasing in the human physiological response to bacterial endotoxic shock. Plasma ghrelin might be part of the complex immuno-neuroendocrine mechanisms activated by systemic infection and inflammation in humans.
Allergic rhinitis symptoms are significantly associated with allergen-specific basophile sensitivity. In vitro evaluation of basophile sensitivity should prove useful for distinguishing clinical phenotype of allergic sensitization.
