Association of depressive disorders, depression characteristics and antidepressant medication with inflammation

TLDR
Elevated inflammation was confirmed in depressed men, especially those with a late-onset depression, and specific antidepressants may differ in their effects on inflammation.

Plasminogen activator inhibitors.

TLDR
This data indicates that the plasminogen activator inhibitor acts as a “spatially aggregating force” to knock down the number of protease-nexin-likeaques in the blood stream.

Polymorphisms in the coagulation factor VII gene and the risk of myocardial infarction.

TLDR
The findings suggest that certain polymorphisms of the factor VII gene may influence the risk of myocardial infarction and it is possible that this effect may be mediated by alterations in factor VII levels.

Effect of moderate alcohol consumption on adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and insulin sensitivity.

TLDR
Moderate alcohol consumption improved insulin sensitivity in relatively insulin-resistant middle-aged men, an effect that may be mediated through alcohol-induced increases in adiponectin.

Consumption of black and green tea has no effect on inflammation, haemostasis and endothelial markers in smoking healthy individuals

TLDR
Tea drinking had no effect on the levels of the inflammation, haemostasis and endothelial cardiovascular risk factors measured and a relationship between the antioxidant variables α-tocopherol and β-carotene and inflammation markers in this group of healthy smoking subjects was observed.

CD4 T lymphocytes from patients with chronic fatigue syndrome have decreased interferon-gamma production and increased sensitivity to dexamethasone.

TLDR
Pro purified CD4 T cells from CFS patients were studied to determine whether they have an altered sensitivity to dexamethasone (DEX), and surprisingly, interferon-gamma production in patients and controls was equally sensitive to DEX.

Short-term oestrogen replacement therapy improves insulin resistance, lipids and fibrinolysis in postmenopausal women with NIDDM

TLDR
Oestrogen replacement therapy improves insulin sensitivity in liver, glycaemic control, lipoprotein profile and fibrinolysis in postmenopausal women with NIDDM, and long term studies including the effect of progestogens are necessary.
