The effect is to retire Th2 B cells that have outlived their use and allow a fresh start. A rapidly evolving, or complement evading, pathogen (HCV, for example) might result over time in the accumulation of B cells generating antibodies of low avidity, not much use but potentially damaging through formation of immune complexes and diversion of complement. These cells should be retired. "Old friends" grant the immune system the serenity to accept the things it cannot change, the better to change the things it can.Puddleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953398103675945541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-33649494273835754412011-09-18T07:25:26.808-07:002011-09-18T07:25:26.808-07:00Thanks for the review!

Is that true that our body is able to synthesize o3 and o6? there is opinion that proportion of those fats should be 4:1. I don't really believe it do you have any review of that subject?Edo Ergo Sumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759578531184715073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-54628906992228718182011-09-17T13:35:23.861-07:002011-09-17T13:35:23.861-07:00Hi Edo,

TNFa produces systemic IR either directly (inducing phosphorylation of IRS-1)or indirectly (stimulating lipolysis and rising plasma FFA levels). This is one of the problems in for example, nutrition care in the ICU. High glucose IV aggraviates the metabolic condition and promotes inflammation even further. A high lipid enteral/parenteral nutrition should be the first choice. <br /><br />The review Im linking provides a very nice summary, in a very simple language. Might write a post of the subject in the future. <br /><br />Hi Anon,<br /><br />Thank you. Blogger doesnt let separating two blogs in the same website. Im trying to find a way to merge both blogs without having spanish/english posts intercalated.Lucas Tafurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688922609280098571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-3309825920822098092011-09-17T08:02:37.140-07:002011-09-17T08:02:37.140-07:00oh, forgot to ask if you gonna eventually merge bo...oh, forgot to ask if you gonna eventually merge both blogs (somatotropina and this) and just have two sections dividing spanish articles and english ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-64903551165800095462011-09-17T08:00:21.373-07:002011-09-17T08:00:21.373-07:00another great blog that goes to favorites.
