Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induces hepatitis when injected in human beings or in rodents. The molecular mechanism by which TNF induces hepatic distress remains largely unknown, although induction of apoptosis of hepatocytes appears to be an essential step. In order
The increased prostaglandin synthesis that might follow stimulation of the arachidonic acid cascade by angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition (ACE-I) has been suggested to underlie the appearance of cough on ACE-I treatment. We investigated whether the prostanoid thromboxane was involved. Nine patients with

Migraine with aura (MwA) sufferers, at times, need specific treatments. This is the case when the auras are frequent, prolonged and cause anxiety and distress. Abnormal release of glutamate, which may trigger auras, and abnormal platelet behaviour, which constitutes a
To explore the possible role of of 8-isoprostane F(2α) (8-IPF(2α) ) in the aetiology of erectile dysfunction (ED), as the over-production of superoxide (O(2)(-)) derived from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase results in the formation of 8-IPF(2α) in vascular

To assess the role of thromboxane A2 and of angiotensin II in patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon. After an eight-day run-in period, the patients were enrolled in a single-blind, cross-over, study. Patients were examined at the Ambulatory for Microcirculatory Diseases
