Do [ Microvascular effects of burn plasma transfer and therapeutic options in a rat model ]?
In summary, for the first time a reliable model of burn injury has been established, which eliminates mediator-independent effects. In addition, our studies show that antioxidant therapy with high doses of vitamin C and topical treatment with cerium nitrate both reduce the systemic capillary leak in receiver animals. Their positive influence could therefore soon be integrated in clinical treatment algorithms.
Local resistin activity may be actively involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS. LOE reduces insulin resistance and down-regulates resistin mRNA expression in lean and obese women with PCOS.
