Baseline Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Plasma Levels, Systemic Inflammation, Weight Loss and Clinical Outcome in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
(2011)Background: Cancer patients frequently suffer from weight loss and systemic inflammation in the context of advanced disease, which is related to adverse outcome. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is an anabolic molecule ... -
Cell-free plasma DNA as a novel marker of aseptic inflammation severity related to exercise overtraining
(2006)Background: Circulating free plasma DNA is implicated in conditions associated with tissue injury, including exercise-induced inflammation, and thus is a potential marker for athletic overtraining. Methods: We measured ... -
A complex signaling network involving protein kinase CK2 is required for hepatitis C virus core protein-mediated modulation of the iron-regulatory hepcidin gene expression
(2014)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with hepatic iron overload and elevated serum iron that correlate to poor antiviral responses. Hepcidin (HAMP), a 25-aa cysteine-rich liver-specific peptide, controls iron ... -
Increased Plasma Angiogenin Level is Associated and May Contribute to Decreased T-Cell Zeta-Chain Expression in Hemodialysis Patients
(2013)Hemodialysis (HD) patients are characterized by impaired T-cell function at least in part because of T-cell zeta-chain downregulation due to inflammation. Angiogenin responds as an acute phase reactant, is increased in HD ...
