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 ... -
Association of sleep apnea severity and obesity with insulin resistance, C-reactive protein, and leptin levels in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea
(2008)Obesity is the major confounding factor in the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of sleep apnea severity ... -
Cardiac systolic function in Greek children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing
(2010)Background: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SOB) in children has been associated with increased ventricular strain and decreased left ventricle (LV) diastolic function. The aim of this study was to assess systolic ... -
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 ... -
Fetuin-A is Associated with Disease Severity and Exacerbation Frequency in Patients with COPD
(2013)Fetuin-A is a liver protein that may serve as an inhibitor of systemic inflammation in humans. In the present study we assessed the levels of fetuin-A in COPD patients in stable condition and on exacerbation in an attempt ... -
MicroRNA-33a regulates cholesterol synthesis and cholesterol efflux-related genes in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2015)Introduction: Several studies have shown that osteoarthritis (OA) is strongly associated with metabolism-related disorders, highlighting OA as the fifth component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). On the basis of our ... -
Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) and Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA) Index in Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients with Chronic Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure: A Pilot Study
(2015)The effects of Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV) on Insulin Resistance (IR) in stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients have not been fully explored. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of NIV ... -
Perceived Stress and Vascular Disease: Where Are We Now?
(2013)Apart from traditional risk factors, psychosocial characteristics are increasingly considered as potential predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The concept of stress is relevant when discussing the relationship ... -
Polymorphisms of the insulin receptor and the insulin receptor substrates genes in polycystic ovary syndrome: A Mendelian randomization meta-analysis
(2010)Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous condition with unknown aetiology which is considered to be the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. In this work we investigated the association ... -
Uric acid excretion in North American and Southeast European children with obstructive sleep apnea
(2010)Background and objectives: Responses to nocturnal hypoxemia accompanying sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may vary in different populations. Aims of this study were to (1) assess whether severity of SDB is related to uric ... -
VDR TaqI is associated with obesity in the Greek population
(2013)The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically during the last thirty years in western countries with severe complications for health and economy. Obesity is the outcome of the strong interplay between genetic and ...
