A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the immune effects of multiple doses of vitamin D3 in patients with allergic rhinitis/rhino-conjunctivitis caused by birch pollen and in healthy control subjects.

The primary objective is to evaluate whether 2.5 µg VD3 analogue (Zemplar® * Abbvie) in multiple subcutaneously administered doses induces a more favourable (read: anti-inflammatory) systemic immune modulation both in general parameters and allergen…

Butyrate Use in TYpe 1 diabetes: effects on Regulation of bActerial translocation, innate immunity, T-cell function and Endotoxemia

To investigate whether ingestion of 4 grams of butyrate daily during 4 weeks can positively affect the immune system function, residual betacell function and low grade inflammation in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The Effect of Rosuvastatin on Immune Activation Markers in Treatment-naïve HIV-Positive Patients; a Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial

Primary Objective: to investigate the effect of rosuvastatin 20 mg qd on subsequent immune activation markers in treatment-naïve HIV-patients: circulating LPS (LAL assay), TLR mRNA expression in whole blood, circulating IL-6, D-dimer, hsCRP, CD38…

The effect of moderate alcohol consumption on a human in vivo model of low-grade systemic inflammation in young, normal-weight men

Primary objective: To explore whether prolonged moderate alcohol consumption affects in vivo cytokine response after a low dose of LPS in young, normal-weight men.Secondary objectives: To explore whether prolonged moderate alcohol consumption-…

Tolerance induction in cow's milk allergy

The project is focused on induction of immune tolerance in allergy by prebiotics. The pathophysiology of immune modulation will be investigated and searched for potential biomarkers for immune modulation.

A study proposal to investigate the sequels of mucosal inflammation caused by ETEC infection- the effects of probiotics

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of probiotics on the sequels of ETEC administration as intestinal permeability, inflammation and clinical signs as total faecal output, relative faecal dry weight and mucin excretion in…

The effect of acute moderate alcohol consumption after a psychological stressor on the stress response in men

Primary objectives: Stress response: To determine whether acute alcohol consumption shortly after a psychological/mental stressor attenuates the stress response recovery.Cholinergic status: To determine whether prolonged moderate alcohol consumption…

Respiratory infections in asthma: the role of host defense against infections, allergic inflammation and vitamin D

We hypothesize that local AMPs expression in the airways of patients with asthma is decreased as a result of allergic inflammation. Furthermore, we hypothesize that local AMP expression can partly be restored by vitamin D substitution therapy. We…

Bosentan (Tracleer®) in patients with Behçet*s disease: a Pilot Study.

· To determine therapeutic efficacy of Tracleer in patients with active Behcet disease. Furthermore:· To study cytokine and immunological patterns and ET-1levels in those patients.

Regulation of the stress-axis by vitamin D3 in subjects with multiple sclerosis; a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study

The main aim of this study is to assess hypothesis A, and we will perform an exploratory analysis on hypothesis B.

The effects of human endotoxemia on the functional capacity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

Primary objective: - To characterize hematopoietic progenitor cells in human bone marrow before and after endotoxemia (by evaluating hematopoietic lineage differentiation and functional capacity). Secondary Objectives: - To determine the effects of…
