Downregulation of MIP-1alpha/CCL3 with praziquantel treatment in Schistosoma haematobium and HIV-1 co-infected individuals in a rural community in ZimbabweRbl Zinyama-Gutsire
Biochemistry Department, University of Zimbabwe, Harare, Zimbabwe
BMC Infect Dis 9:174. 2009..However there is less information on their role in Schistosoma haematobium infection, or on the effect of concurrent HIV-1 infection, as a potential modifying influence...- p24 as a predictor of mortality in a cohort of HIV-1-infected adults in rural AfricaChristian Erikstrup
The Centre of Inflammation and Metabolism, Rigshospitalet and Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 48:345-9. 2008..p24 measurements have been proposed as an alternative to HIV-RNA because of the low cost of reagents and equipment needed. Here, we evaluate p24 as a prognostic marker in a cohort of HIV-1-infected individuals in Zimbabwe... - Reduced mortality and CD4 cell loss among carriers of the interleukin-10 -1082G allele in a Zimbabwean cohort of HIV-1-infected adultsChristian Erikstrup
Centre for Inflammation and Metabolism, Denmark
AIDS 21:2283-91. 2007..To evaluate the effect on HIV progression of single nucleotide polymorphisms in promoters of the genes for tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-10 and known to influence cytokine production... - Predictors of mortality in a cohort of HIV-1-infected adults in rural AfricaChristian Erikstrup
Department of Infectious Diseases, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 44:478-83. 2007..We explored the prognostic strengths of classic and alternative progression markers in this study set in rural Zimbabwe... - Short-term simvastatin treatment has no effect on plasma cytokine response in a human in vivo model of low-grade inflammationC Erikstrup
Centre of Inflammation and Metabolism, Department of Infectious Diseases, Rigshospitalet and Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark
Clin Exp Immunol 144:94-100. 2006..Tolerance to endotoxin was observed in both groups after 14 days. Short-term treatment with simvastatin (20 mg/day) did not influence circulating cytokine levels during endotoxaemia in this human in vivo study... - Associations between insulin resistance and TNF-alpha in plasma, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in humans with and without type 2 diabetesP Plomgaard
Centre of Inflammation and Metabolism, Department of Infectious Diseases, Rigshospitalet, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark
Diabetologia 50:2562-71. 2007..Clear evidence exists that TNF-alpha inhibits insulin signalling and thereby glucose uptake in myocytes and adipocytes. However, conflicting results exist with regard to the role of TNF-alpha in type 2 diabetes... - RBP-to-retinol ratio, but not total RBP, is elevated in patients with type 2 diabetesC Erikstrup
Centre of Inflammation and Metabolism, Rigshospitalet and Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark
Diabetes Obes Metab 11:204-12. 2009..We hypothesized that an imbalance between RBP and retinol might be the underlying cause for this association... - Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and type 2 diabetesK S Krabbe
The Centre of Inflammation and Metabolism, Department of Infectious Diseases, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark
Diabetologia 50:431-8. 2007..These disorders are associated with type 2 diabetes, and animal models suggest that BDNF plays a role in insulin resistance. We therefore explored whether BDNF plays a role in human glucose metabolism... - Schistosomiasis and HIV in rural Zimbabwe: efficacy of treatment of schistosomiasis in individuals with HIV coinfectionPer Kallestrup
Department of Infectious Diseases, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark
Clin Infect Dis 42:1781-9. 2006..Consequently, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related immunodeficiency may impair the effect of praziquantel treatment... - Schistosomiasis and HIV-1 infection in rural Zimbabwe: effect of treatment of schistosomiasis on CD4 cell count and plasma HIV-1 RNA loadPer Kallestrup
Center for Inflammation and Metabolism, Department of Infectious Diseases, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark
J Infect Dis 192:1956-61. 2005..17). The present study suggests that treatment of schistosomiasis can reduce the rate of viral replication and increase CD4 cell count in the coinfected host... - Schistosomiasis and infection with human immunodeficiency virus 1 in rural Zimbabwe: systemic inflammation during co-infection and after treatment for schistosomiasisChristian Erikstrup
Department of Clinical Immunology, Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby Sygehus, Aarhus, Denmark
Am J Trop Med Hyg 79:331-7. 2008..Treatment for schistosomiasis caused a decrease in levels of sTNF-rII (P < 0.05) and IL-10 (P < 0.001). Our results indicate that schistosomiasis treatment may attenuate HIV replication by decreasing systemic inflammation... - Schistosomiasis and HIV-1 infection in rural Zimbabwe: implications of coinfection for excretion of eggsPer Kallestrup
Center of Inflammation and Metabolism, Department of Infectious Diseases, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark
J Infect Dis 191:1311-20. 2005..This study explores the effect that HIV-1-associated immunodeficiency has on the excretion of schistosome eggs in a large cohort of coinfected individuals... - Retinol-binding protein 4 and insulin resistanceChristian Erikstrup
