Effect of high dose intravenous ascorbic acid on the level of inflammation in patients ... - 0 views

  •  
    This study, small pilot, showed that they were able to lower inflammation in those suffering from RA, through high dose vitamin C IV therapy. This study stopped at 25 gms. The vitamin C is a scavenger of ROS and ROS stimulates inflammation through NF-kappaB. This is how vitamin C can reduce inflammation.

Study Finds High-dose Intravenous Vitamin C Reduces Pain and Inflammation in Those... -... - 0 views

  •  
    High dose IV vitamin C shown to reduce both pain and inflammation in patients with RA.  This study looked at doses only up to 50 grams.  The specific inflammatory marker that this study looked at was CRP and it was reduced on average by 44%.

Boswellia Serrata, A Potential Antiinflammatory Agent: An Overview - 0 views

  •  
    review article of anti-inflammatory effects of Boswellia.  Boswellia inhibits 5-LOX and resultant leukotrienes.  3-actyl-11-keto-Beta-boswellic acid is the most potent inhibitor of 5-LOX.  As it relates to disease states and symptoms, Boswellia reduces pain in OA and RA.  Boswellia also shown to inhibit NF-kappa B: a potent nuclear transcription factor for inflammation.  In prostate cancer, Boswellia inhibits prostate tumor growth.

    Vitamin D supplementation in those individuals with SLE found to benefit these patients.   Vitamin D found to reduce TH1 and Th17 activity.  It also was found to decrease memory B cells and auto-antibodies.  Also of note is the level of vitamin D after therapy-only at 51.4 at 2 months and 41.5 at 6 months.

Regulatory effects of estriol on T cell migra... [J Neuroimmunol. 2002] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Pregnancy is a immunosuppressive state.  Estriol therapy mimics that through decrease in T cell migration and activation.  Estriol moved the Tcells to a Th2 dominance and also was found to inhibit NF-kappaB.  Estriol decreased TNF-alpa through IL-10 production.

  •  
    low adrenal hormone output and sex hormone output associated with RA; low adrenal output may pose a more direct effect.  This is likely why pregnancy is associated with a decrease with RA and the postpartum is associated with an increase.

Immune Modulation in Multiple Sclerosis Patients Treated with the Pregnancy Hormone Est... - 0 views

  • A beneficial effect of pregnancy on clinical symptoms has been observed in MS and other Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, uveitis, and thyroiditis
  • In general, Th1 lymphocytes secrete proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-2, IL-12, IFN-γ, and TNF-α) that promote cellular immunity, while Th2 lymphocytes produce anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10) that promote humoral immunity
  • Th2 cytokines are associated with the down-regulation of Th1 cytokines and may confer protection from Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • During pregnancy, there is a shift from Th1 to Th2 that occurs both locally, at the fetal maternal interface, (23, 24, 25), and systemically
  •  
    MS is in part a Th1 autoimmune disease.  Estriol therapy induces a shift to Th2 through increase in Th10.  Estriol also decreases TNF-alpha cytokine production.

    Estradiol appears to be pro-inflammatory in the synovial fluids of men/women with RA.  This appears to be mediated through NF-KappaB.

    this study looked at estrogen in rheumatoid arthritis in mice. They found an anti-inflammatory effect of estrogen in men through ER-alpha. This is in contrast to other studies. Maybe the immunomodulatory effects of estrogen is, in part, through which receptors are activated.
