Abstract: <p><b>BACKGROUND:</b> Objective of this study was to evaluate the adrenal cortisol reserves in symptomatic HIV positive children. As the clinical features of HIV wasting syndrome often overlap that of adrenal insufficiency, the Hypothalmic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis evaluation serves as a good marker of adrenal ins ...

Abstract: Disruption of the linkage among the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems may contribute to the pathology and symptoms of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We investigated the role of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in altering these linkages via induction of corticotropin (ACTH) by lymphocytes. Cultured ...

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Adrenal glands are frequently involved in HIV infection; however, overt adrenal failure is rare, due to high serum cortisol levels despite normal or even low ACTH levels. Adrenal stimulation by factors other than ACTH, such as cytokines secreted by HIV- infected cells has been postulated. PATIENTS AND ME ...

Abstract: The immune, nervous and endocrine systems are affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Numerous studies suggest that a regulatory link normally exists among these three systems through cytokines and hormones such as adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is known to induce ACTH production ...

Abstract: Suramin, a polyanionic compound which has been used in the treatment of trypanosomiasis and oncocerciasis, has recently been used in treatment of AIDS, while preliminary success has been reported in the treatment of cancer. However, suramin also causes adrenal insufficiency. The present study was undertaken in order t ...

Abstract: Since anatomopathological lesions of the adrenal gland have been frequently observed at autopsy in AIDS, we investigated the glucocorticoid function in 63 patients (51 men, 12 women) infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in order to determine the incidence and the nature of any adrenocortical abnormalitie ...

Abstract: At autopsy of patients with AIDS 88% of the adrenal and 30% of the pituitary glands show pathologic changes (GROLL et al.1989). Nevertheless levels of cortisol and results of ACTH stimulation tests are within normal range in most of the patients. Patients with AIDS suffer a continuous stress due to psychological reason ...

Abstract: One must consider the 17-DOS as a biosynthetic pathway with multiple regulatory factors. ACTH is its dominant regulator but in the absence of ACTH and in conditions where plasma renin activity is increased, this biosynthetic pathway maintains its sensitivity to exogenous ACTH. Suppression of the renin system delays th ...

Abstract: Alterations of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are common in HIV infection. To characterize further the site of these derangements and their possible causes, eight male drug addicts with symptomatic HIV infection (stage IV C2) underwent the following investigations: repeated baseline determinations of co ...

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Recent theories of neuroimmunomodulation hold that neural, endocrine and immune factors interact to determine the host response. A central role in the interaction between the neuroendocrine and the immune systems is played by proopionelanocortin(POMC)-derived peptides. In particular, the neuropeptide alpha- ...

Abstract: The activation of human granulocytes and invertebrate immunocytes was found to be suppressed by corticotropin (ACTH) and melanotropin (MSH). In spontaneously active granulocytes both neuropeptides caused significant conformational changes indicative of inactivity plus a reduction in their locomotion. Significant inact ...

Abstract: In this study of children without clinical evidence of AI, we demonstrated a blunted cortisol response to ACTH stimulation in 20%. It remains to be determined, as children with AIDS begin to live longer, if any of the suboptimal cortisol responses we identified are predictive of development of AI in the future. ...
