Changes in food intake and circulating leptin due to gastrointestinal parasitism in lambs of two breeds
(2008)HA reduction in food intake is a prominent feature of many infectious diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of parasite-induced anorexia in sheep are poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypotheses (a) that the ... -
IGF-1 alters the human parietal pleural electrochemical profile by inhibiting ion trans-cellular transportation after interaction with its receptor
(2013)Objective: The effect of IGF-1 in the human pleural permeability and the underlying mechanisms involved were investigated. Design: Specimens from thoracic surgical patients were mounted in Ussing chambers. Solutions ... -
Increased visfatin in hemodialysis patients is associated with decreased demands for recombinant human erythropoietin
(2013)Background: Studies detected an association between visfatin and markers of iron metabolism in patients with insulin resistance. In this study, such a relation was evaluated in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Also relations ... -
Modulating effect of leptin on basal and follicle stimulating hormone stimulated steroidogenesis in cultured human lutein granulosa cells
(2009)Background: In vitro data have shown conflicting results in terms of the effect of leptin on granulosa cells steroidogenesis. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of low and high doses of leptin ... -
Oxidative stress due to radiation in CD34(+) Hematopoietic progenitor cells: protection by IGF-1
(2012)Radiation exerts direct as well as indirect effects on DNA through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Irradiated hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) experience DNA strand breaks, favoring genetic instability, ... -
The role of gonadotropins in the follicular phase
(2010)Folliculogenesis in humans is a lengthy process that involves several regulators. Pituitary gonadotropins play crucial roles in the late stages, particularly in the last 15 days of follicle maturation. During the intercycle ...
