Increased Circulating IL-32 Is Associated With Placenta Macrophage-derived IL-32 and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the role of IL-32, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by analyzing factors like CRP levels and cytokine expression in women with and without GDM.! -
- Researchers monitored first-trimester CRP in 186 women with GDM and 186 without and found elevated levels of IL-32 and other inflammatory cytokines in the placental tissues of those with GDM.! -
- The findings suggest that increased levels of IL-32 during pregnancy are linked to GDM, and measuring IL-32 in the first trimester could help predict the disorder's development.!
Molecular mechanisms and functions of pyroptosis in sepsis and sepsis-associated organ dysfunction.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
August 2022
Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, is a leading cause of death in intensive care units. The development of sepsis-associated organ dysfunction (SAOD) poses a threat to the survival of patients with sepsis. Unfortunately, the pathogenesis of sepsis and SAOD is complicated, multifactorial, and has not been completely clarified.
