Primary objective: To determine the effect of hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Secondary Objective(s): - To determine if hyperbilirubinemia shifts the pro-anti…
Primary objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of oral dipyridamole treatment on the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines will be…
To determine whether doubling the dose of corticosteroid injections in the treatment of arthritis in knee joints is more effective in the relief of symptoms as measured by change in the assessment of arthritis burden by the patient on a Likert 5-…
Main study:1. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor improve the insulin-induced microvascular effects in hypertensive patients.2. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor impair the insulin-induced mi-crovascular effects in…
The primary objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that CRT exerts beneficial effects on the microcirculation by recruitment of capillaries. The secondary objective is to compare the microcirculatory with the hemodynamic parameters and…
The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of atazanavir-induced hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by human endotoxemia.Secondary objectives are:- To determine if the vascular…
The primary objective of the study is to determine concentration of circulation cytokines na administration of LPS in the presence of iron sucrose (Venofer®), Deferasirox (Exjade®) of placebo.
The aim of this study is to investigate what proportion of HBeAg negative, inactive carriers of the hepatitis B virus with low (< 20,000 IU/mL) load will lose HBsAg when treated with nucleot(s)ide analogue/Peg-IFN combination therapy.
We aim to study the vasoactive effects of Acetylcholine (NO dependent) in hypertensive patients and normotensive participants. Second, the correlation between the vasoreactivity of Acetylcholine and Angiotensin II will be studied. Third, the…
Primary objectiveTo identify specific genes in the NO pathway that are turned on or off by inactivity. The results will disclose key-genes in the NO pathway relevant for vascular adaptations. Secondary objectiveTo correlate functional vascular…
Does antagonism of the adenosine receptor by caffeine lead to an increased LPS-induced inflammatory reaction and an increase in (subclinical) tissuedamage?Does the C34T-polymorphism of the enzyme AMP-deaminase lead to a decreased inflammatory…
