Association analysis of the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism and complex quantitative body composition and performance phenotypes in adolescent Greeks
(2007)The functional allele (577R) of ACTN3, which encodes human alpha-actinin-3, has been reported to be associated with elite athletic status and with response to resistance training, while the nonfunctional allele (577X) has ... -
Boron behavior in apple plants in acidic and limed soil
(2013)In dry Mediterranean-type climates boron (B) levels may naturally be high and even toxic to plants. Although liming of an acidic soil is expected to decrease B levels, it is not known what the effects would be in such areas ... -
Effects of treated municipal wastewater on the essential nutrients interactions in the plant of Brassica oleracea var. Italica
(2009)The effects of the treated municipal wastewater (TMWW) on the essential nutrients interactions in the various plant parts of Brassica oleracea var. Italica (Broccoli) was studied, in comparison to the fresh irrigation ... -
Heterozygous Alterations of TNFRSF13B/TACI in Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Sarcoidosis
(2013)TNFRSF13B/TACI defects have been associated with CVID pathogenesis and/or phenotype, especially the development of benign lymphoproliferation and autoimmunity. Our purpose was to investigate the role of TNFRSF13B/TACI ... -
Leptin receptor isoforms mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with chronic viral hepatitis
(2006)There is accumulating evidence that leptin has a pleiotropic role in hematopoiesis, immune response, fibrogenesis, and hepatocarcinogenesis. We investigated the expression of leptin and leptin receptor (OB-R) at the protein ... -
A new stop codon mutation (Y52X) in the myophosphorylase gene in a Greek patient with McArdle's disease
(2002)We identified a novel stop codon mutation in the myophosphorylase gene in a Greek patient with typical symptoms of McArdle's disease. This is the first genetic study of myophosphorylase deficiency in a Greek family, showing ... -
Phenotypic mismatch repair hMSH2 and hMLH1 gene expression profiles in primary non-small cell lung carcinomas
(2009)Background: Defects in the human DNA mismatch repair genes (MMR) hMSH2 and hMLH1 arc responsible for the development of sporadic and hereditary colorectal cancers. The role of MMR genes in the pathogenesis of lung cancer ... -
Prognostic value of follicular fluid 25-OH vitamin D and glucose levels in the IVF outcome
(2010)Objectives: The aim of the present study was to measure serum and follicular fluid 25-OH vitamin D and glucose levels in women who underwent IVF-ET treatment and to further investigate whether the circulating 25-OH vitamin ... -
Serum copper and ferroportin in monocytes of hemodialysis patients are both decreased but unassociated
(2014)Disturbed iron homeostasis contributes to resistance to recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Although increased hepcidin, which downregulates the iron exporter ferroportin, had been ...
