Medworm Coeliac Disease: Behind the headlines - Triggers for coeliac disease 'found'

All About Celiac News - Thu, 08/19/2010 - 00:17

“The precise cause of the immune reaction that leads to coeliac disease has been discovered,” BBC News reported. It said that three key substances in gluten have been found to trigger the condition, and researchers believe them to be a potential new target for developing treatments and possibly a vaccine. These researchers asked 200 volunteers with coeliac disease to eat bread, rye muffins or boiled barley, all of which contained gluten. They then measured the volunteers’ immune response to thousands of different peptides (gluten fragments) six days later. Among 90 possible peptides, three were found to be particularly toxic. This research appears to have been carefully carried out and is well reported. These are important findings and show some promise in the search for a treatment ...

Medworm Coeliac Disease: Different Roles of 12/15-Lipoxygenase in Diabetic Large and Small Fiber Peripheral and Autonomic Neuropathies.

All About Celiac News - Wed, 08/18/2010 - 17:00

In conclusion, whereas 12/15-lipoxygenase up-regulation provides an important contribution to functional changes characteristic for both large and small fiber peripheral diabetic neuropathies and axonal atrophy of large myelinated fibers, its role in small sensory nerve fiber degeneration and neuritic dystrophy and neuronal degeneration characteristic for diabetic autonomic neuropathy is minor. This should be considered in the selection of endpoints for future clinical trials of 12/15-lipoxygenase inhibitors.
