Absence of blood pressure, metabolic, and inflammatory marker changes after adenotonsillectomy for sleep apnea in Greek children
(2008)Aim: Pediatric studies revealed associations of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and elevated blood pressure. Evidence about effects of adenotonsillectomy on these ... -
Adipocytokine Levels in Children: Effects of Fatness and Training
(2012)To investigate the effects of obesity and exercise training on plasma adipocytokines a sample of 42 children (lean = 24, %BF = 17.8 +/- 7.5%; obese = 18; %BF = 29.1 +/- 9.3%; mean age = 12.4 +/- 1.9 yrs), were divided into ... -
Adiponectin: a key playmaker adipocytokine in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
(2014)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In the last two decades, the prevalence of NAFLD has ... -
Adiponectin: A New Independent Predictor of Liver Steatosis and Response to IFN-alpha Treatment in Chronic Hepatitis C
(2008)OBJECTIVES: To compare serum adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha among patients with viral liver diseases; to investigate associations of serum adiponectin and TNF-alpha with histological or viral characteristics ... -
Association Between Polymorphisms in MTHFR and APOA5 and Metabolic Syndrome in the Greek Population
(2011)Impaired energy homeostasis and low-grade inflammation have been related to components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) such as dyslipidemia, obesity, and insulin resistance. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes ... -
Blood ghrelin, resistin, and adiponectin concentrations during the normal menstrual cycle
(2009)Objective: To investigate changes of ghrelin, resistin, and adiponectin levels in the circulation during the normal menstrual cycle. Design: Longitudinal study. Setting: The study was conducted at a university hospital. ... -
Circulating adhesion molecules levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension
(2005)Background: Risk factors for atherosclerosis such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia affect endothelial function and stimulate adhesion molecules expression. The aim of the study was to examine ... -
Comparative Performance of Three Metabolic Syndrome Definitions in the Prediction of Acute Coronary Syndrome
(2009)Objective The value of the recently introduced definitions of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the identification of high cardiovascular risk subjects remains questionable. We examined the association among different definitions ... -
Effect of diabetes mellitus on muscle size and strength in patients receiving dialysis therapy
(2006)Background. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a potential contributor to the muscle abnormalities and poor physical functioning of the dialysis population. Methods: Thirty-three dialysis patients without DM (non-DM group) were ... -
The effect of estrogens on plasma ghrelin concentrations in women
(2010)Background: Data regarding the possible effects of estrogen on ghrelin secretion in humans are limited and contradictory. Aim: To investigate the effect of estradiol (E2) on ghrelin levels in normal pre- and post-menopausal ... -
Effect of exercise training and dopamine agonists in patients with uremic restless legs syndrome: a six-month randomized, partially double-blind, placebo-controlled comparative study
(2013)Background: Restless Legs Syndrome is very common in hemodialysis patients however there are no comparative studies assessing the effectiveness of a non-pharmacological treatment to a classical treatment on parameters ... -
Effect of ovarian hormones on serum adiponectin and resistin concentrations
(2009)Objective: To investigate the effect of ovarian hormones on adiponectin and resistin levels in women. Design: Experimental study. Setting: University hospital. Patient(s): Thirteen normally cycling women (7 in group I and ... -
Effects of obstructive sleep apnea severity on serum lipid levels in Greek children with snoring
(2011)Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related to dyslipidemia in adults, limited data are available regarding its effects on serum lipids during childhood. Aim of this study was to assess the potential relationships ... -
Effects of smoking cessation on serum leptin and adiponectin levels
(2015)Background: Evidence on the association of leptin and adiponectin and smoking is limited and discordant. Leptin and adiponectin represent the most abundant adipokines in human plasma that play crucial roles in the ... -
Elevated plasma immunoreactive leptin levels preexist in healthy offspring of patients with essential hypertension
(1999)Background Plasma leptin levels and plasma insulin levels have been found to be elevated in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and have been suggested to be components of the metabolic syndrome. Increased heart rate ... -
The Emerging Roles of Adiponectin in Female Reproductive System-Associated Disorders and Pregnancy
(2013)Adiponectin, the most abundant adipose-released cytokine, has an important role in metabolism, primarily through reducing insulin resistance. Reproductive functions are known to be influenced by energy balance and adiponectin ... -
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and diabetic nephropathy: A HuGE review and meta-analysis
(2009)Candidate-gene association studies that examined the association between polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene (G894T, 4b/a, and T786C) and diabetic nephropathy or diabetes leading to severe ... -
Fibrinolytic/hemostatic variables in arterial hypertension: Response to treatment with irbesartan or atenolol
(2000)Essential hypertension is often accompanied by abnormalities of the coagulation/fibrinolytic system, predisposing to a procoagulant state. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of atenolol (beta(1)-blocker ... -
