The acute effect of smoking in healthy and asthmatic smokers
(2010)Background Acute exposure to cigarette smoke is related to airway and systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Little is known about the acute effect of cigarette smoking in smoking asthmatics. The aim of this study was ... -
The association between apolipoprotein E gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension: a meta-analysis of 45 studies including 13 940 cases and 16 364 controls
(2013)The apolipoprotein E single-nucleotide polymorphisms are among the potential candidate genes that may serve as modulators in susceptibility to essential hypertension. In an effort to clarify earlier inconclusive results, ... -
A brief exposure to moderate passive smoke increases metabolism and thyroid hormone secretion
(2007)Context: Active smoking influences normal metabolic status and thyroid function. Objective: The objective was to assess experimentally the effects of 1 h of moderate passive smoking in a controlled simulated bar/ restaurant ... -
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 ... -
Exposure to secondhand smoke promotes sympathetic activity and cardiac muscle cachexia
(2014)Recent trials demonstrated that a single brief exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) generates acute adverse health effects. We evaluated the acute (immediately after exposure) and short-term (0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after ... -
Immediate and short-term consequences of secondhand smoke exposure on the respiratory system
(2011)Purpose of review This review critically evaluates the existing biological evidence regarding the immediate and short-term respiratory consequences of secondhand smoke (SHS). Recent findings A 1-h exposure to SHS at ... -
Infectomics and autoinfectomics: a tool to study infectious-induced autoimmunity
(2015)The exposome represents all exogenous and endogenous environmental exposures that begin at preconception and carry on throughout life, while the microbiome reflects the microbial component of the exposome. We recently ... -
Inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers in allergic rhinitis: the effect of smoking
(2009)Accumulating evidence confirms the presence of pan-airway inflammation in allergic rhinitis patients. Smoking is known to affect the asthmatic airway inflammation. However, no study has evaluated the impact of smoking on ... -
Instruments to Assess Secondhand Smoke Exposure in Large Cohorts of Never Smokers: The Smoke Scales
(2014)The objectives of this study were to: (i) to develop questionnaires that can identify never-smoking children and adults experiencing increased exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS+), (ii) to determine their validity against ... -
Respiratory and Immune Response to Maximal Physical Exertion following Exposure to Secondhand Smoke in Healthy Adults
(2012)We assessed the cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical exertion following secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure through a randomized crossover experiment. Data were obtained from 16 (8 women) non-smoking adults during ... -
Sexual dimorphism in the acute effects of secondhand smoke on thyroid hormone secretion, inflammatory markers and vascular function
(2008)Experimental evidence for the physiological effects of secondhand smoke (SHS) is limited, although it affects millions of people globally and its prevalence is increasing, despite currently adopted antismoking measures. ... -
Smoking affects mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic proteins in human periosteum
(2012)Periosteum is important for bone homoeostasis through the release of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their effect on osteoprogenitor cells. Smoking has an adverse effect on fracture healing and bone regeneration. ... -
Smoking among adolescents in Northern Greece: a large cross-sectional study about risk and preventive factors
(2012)Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate epidemiological data about cigarette smoking in relation with risk and preventive factors among Greek adolescents. Methods: We randomly selected 10% of the whole ... -
Smoking and AMH levels in women with normal reproductive history
(2010)To investigate the effect of age and smoking on the AMH levels in normal cycling healthy women with normal reproductive history. In 137 women, blood samples were taken on day 3 of a spontaneous cycle. Serum FSH, LH, E2, ...
