Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) and mental illness: An evaluation of parietal cell antibodies, intrinsic factor antibodies, vitamin B12 and psychiatric symptoms in patients with AITD and Non-AITD controls

Leineweber Doerte , Galling Britta , Schurmeyer Thomas H.

Introduction: Associations of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) with autoimmune gastri-tis and mental disorders have been suggested, but evidence for a connection is lacking.Methods: We compared the co-incidence of parietal cell antibodies (PCA>20 RE/ml), intrinsic factor antibodies (IFA>1.19 AU/ml), vitamin B12 plasma levels (<200 pg/ml) and mental illness in patients with AITD (n=398), e.g. active (TPO+), atrophic (TPO−) and ...

Water and electrolyte balance regulation plays a key role in essential hypertension pathogenesis. Indeed, alterations in kidney ability to excrete sodium and water in relation to intake have been proposed as a basic process of hypertension development. Vasopressin (AVP) acts through V2 receptors on the basolateral membrane of collecting duct principal cells to trigger the phosphorylation of Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) which moves from the cytoplasm to the apical membrane, making the ce...

Biophenols-rich pomegranate extract intake inhibits salivary cortisol and 11β-HSD1 activity and improves overall quality of life scores in healthy volunteers

Stockton Angela , Al-Dujaili Emad

Background and aim: Biophenols can act as powerful antioxidants. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) provides a rich and varied source of biophenols with the most abundant being ellagitannins, tannins, anthocyanins, ellagic, and gallic acids. Recently, we have shown that pomegranate juice consumption may alleviate cardiovascular risk factors by reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure and exercise-induced oxidative stress. The aim of study was to investigate the effec...
