    Abstract : Inflammation is a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease, as in addition to known risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking and diabetes. Patients with inflammatory diseases including SLE have an enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

  5. 3. Platelet-activating factor, intestinal epithelial cells, and Chron's disease : An experimental study

    Author : Bengt Kald; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Platelet-activating factor (PAF-acethcr, 1-0-alky l-2-acetyl-s n- glycero-3- phosphocholine), is a potent inflammatory mediator that can be formed by a variety of cells and tissues. In the present investigation, the content of PAFacether was determined in mucosal biopsies from the ileum and colon of patients with Crohn's disease and control patients. READ MORE
