8-Isoprostane levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis
(2013)Objective and design: Sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are both associated with deregulated inflammatory mechanisms partially triggered by aggravated oxidative stress. 8-Isoprostane has been proposed as ... -
Activity of grape extracts from Greek varieties of Vitis vinifera against mutagenicity induced by bleomycin and hydrogen peroxide in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA102
(2006)Several in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that grape extracts could prevent certain steps in carcinogenesis and a few mechanisms have been proposed for this activity. In this study, the potential antimutagenic activity ... -
Acute effects of electronic and tobacco cigarette smoking on complete blood count
(2012)The World Health Organisation called for research assessing the safety of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette). We evaluated the acute effect of active and passive e-cigarette and tobacco cigarette smoking on complete blood ... -
Acute impact of active and passive electronic cigarette smoking on serum cotinine and lung function
(2013)Context: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are becoming increasingly popular yet their effects on health remain unknown. Objective: To conduct the first comprehensive and standardized assessment of the acute impact of ... -
Administration of tomato juice ameliorates lactate dehydrogenase and creatinine kinase responses to anaerobic training
(2013)Creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are important biological markers of various myocardial disorders and exercise-induced muscle damage. Lycopene, on the other side, is a natural anti-oxidant ... -
alpha-Lipoic acid supplementation up-regulates antioxidant capacity in adults with G6PD deficiency
(2013)The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of alpha-lipoic acid (LA) supplementation on blood redox status in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Eight adults with G6PD deficiency ... -
Alzheimer's disease treated patients showed different patterns for oxidative stress and inflammation markers
(2013)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia accounting for 60-80% of the reported cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate levels of certain parameters of oxidative stress and markers of endothelial ... -
Analytical methods of biological monitoring for exposure to pesticides: Recent update
(2007)Extensive use of synthetic pesticides for agricultural and nonagricultural purposes began in the past 50 years. As a result of their wide and extensive application, exposure to hazardous pesticides is a concern to the ... -
Anti-inflammatory effects of a special carbohydrate-whey protein cake after exhaustive cycling in humans
(2013)Intense exercise induces increased levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a special cake (consisting of carbohydrate to whey protein 3.5:1) ... -
Anvirzel (TM) in combination with cisplatin in breast, colon, lung, prostate, melanoma and pancreatic cancer cell lines
(2013)Background: Platinum derivatives are used widely for the treatment of many cancers. However, the toxicity that is observed makes imperative the need for new drugs, or new combinations. Anvirzel (TM) is an extract which has ... -
Application of leaching tests for toxicity evaluation of coal fly ash
(2006)The toxic properties of coal fly ash samples obtained from various coal combustion power plants were evaluated in this work using physicochemical analyses and bioassays. Physicochemical analyses showed that heavy metals ... -
Applications and Biomonitoring Issues of Recombinant Erythropoietins for Doping Control
(2011)The biochemical actions and side effects of recombinant erythropoietins (rhEPOs), their analogs and mimetics, their misuse as doping agents, and the principal analytical strategies developed to identify them in athletes' ... -
Assessment of microcystin distribution and biomagnification in tissues of aquatic food web compartments from a shallow lake and evaluation of potential risks to public health
(2012)The objectives of this study were: (1) to examine the distribution and bioaccumulation of microcystins in the main components of the food web (phytoplankton, zooplankton, crayfish, shrimp, mussel, snail, fish, frog) of ... -
Assessment of PCBs exposure in human hair using double focusing high resolution mass spectrometry and single quadrupole mass spectrometry
(2012)Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) levels were assessed in human hair samples, originating from two main agricultural regions of Greece. The analysis was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas ... -
Assessment of polyphenolic content, antioxidant activity, protection against ROS-induced DNA damage and anticancer activity of Vitis vinifera stem extracts
(2013)Grape extracts and wine have been studied widely due to their beneficial effects on human health. However, there are only few studies from grape stems extracts. Therefore, the main objective of the present study was the ... -
Assessment of wastewater effluent quality in Thessaly region, Greece, for determining its irrigation reuse potential
(2011)The objective of the present study is to assess wastewater effluent quality in Thessaly region Greece in relation to its physicochemical and microbiological burden as well as its toxic potential on a number of organisms ...
