The influence of corticosteroids on the release of novel biomarkers in human endotoxemiaMartijn D de Kruif
Center for Experimental and Molecular Medicine, Room G2 132, Academic Medical Center, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 Amsterdam, AZ, The Netherlands
Intensive Care Med 34:518-22. 2008..However, it is not known whether these biomarkers are influenced by sepsis intervention strategies. Therefore we investigated the markers in a model of human endotoxemia intervened by increasing doses of prednisolone...
Effects of prednisolone on the systemic release of mediators of cell-mediated cytotoxicity during human endotoxemiaMartijn D de Kruif
Center for Experimental and Molecular Medicine, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Shock 29:458-61. 2008..This study demonstrates that prednisolone differentially inhibits the systemic release of mediators involved in cell-mediated cytotoxicity in humans in vivo...
Differential dose-dependent effects of prednisolone on shedding of endothelial adhesion molecules during human endotoxemiaLucienne C Lemaire
Center for Experimental and Molecular Medicine, Academic Medical Center, Room G2 132, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Immunol Lett 121:93-6. 2008..Levels of sICAM-1 were not affected by prednisolone. Together, the data suggest that prednisolone differentially and dose-dependently influences the release of soluble endothelial adhesion molecules during human endotoxemia...
Dobutamine does not influence inflammatory pathways during human endotoxemiaLucienne C Lemaire
Department of Anesthesiology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Crit Care Med 34:1365-71. 2006..None of these responses were influenced by dobutamine. CONCLUSIONS: Dobutamine, infused in a clinically relevant dose, does not influence inflammatory and coagulant pathways during human endotoxemia...
