DYNAMICS OF ADRENAL STEROIDS ARE RELATED TO VARIATIONS IN TH1 AND TREG POPULATIONS DURING MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS INFECTION IN HIV POSITIVE PERSONS.

Dynamics of adrenal steroids are related to variations in Th1 and Treg populations during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in HIV positive persons.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most frequent cause of illness and death from an infectious agent, and its interaction with HIV has devastating effects.We Speaker determined plasma levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), its circulating form DHEA-suphate (DHEA-s) and cortisol in different stages of M.tuberculosis infection, and explored their role o

Region-specific interneuron demyelination and heightened anxiety-like behavior induced by adolescent binge alcohol treatment

Abstract Adolescent binge drinking represents a major public health challenge and can lead to persistent neurological and mental conditions, but the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood.Using a mouse model of adolescent binge ethanol treatment (ABET), we found that this treatment induced behavioral changes associated with demye
