Metabolic Acidosis Results in Sexually Dimorphic Response in the Heart Tissue
Metabolic acidosis (MA) is a highly prevalent disorder in a significant proportion of the population, resulting from imbalance in blood pH homeostasis.The heart, being an organ with very low regenerative capacity and high metabolic activity, is vulnerable to chronic, although low-grade, MA.To systematically characterize the effect of low-grade MA o
Elevated Level of CD4+ T Cell Immune Activation in Acutely HIV-1-Infected Stage Associates With Increased IL-2 Production and Cycling Expression, and Subsequent CD4+ T Cell Preservation
Persistent immune activation is a striking consequence of HIV-1 infection and a driving force of CD4+ T cell depletion and AIDS events during chronic infection.High level of T cell immune activation associates with antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated clinical outcomes in chronically HIV-1-infected patients.However, the role of T cell activation du
