Acute effects of second-hand smoke on complete blood count
Dinas, P. C.; Metsios, G. S.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Tzatzarakis, M. N.; Hayes, A. W.; Koutedakis, Y.; Tsatsakis, A. M.; Flouris, A. D. (2014)We assessed the acute effects of a 1-h exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) on complete blood count (CBC) markers in a controlled simulated bar/restaurant environment. Nineteen adult never-smokers completed a 1-h .exposure ... -
Association between habitual physical activity and brown adipose tissue activity in individuals undergoing PET-CT scan
Dinas, P. C.; Nikaki, A.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Prassopoulos, V.; Efthymiadou, R.; Koutedakis, Y.; Georgoulias, P.; Flouris, A. D. (2015)ObjectiveAugmented brown adipose tissue (BAT) mass and activity lead to higher basic metabolic rate which is beneficial against obesity. Our aim was to investigate whether habitual (i.e. usual weekly participation) physical ... -
Effects of active and passive tobacco cigarette smoking on heart rate variability
Dinas, P. C.; Koutedakis, Y.; Flouris, A. D. (2013)Given the widespread incidence of smoking as well as its deleterious health effects, it is crucial to examine practical and cost effective prognostic markers assessing its health impact. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a ... -
Effects of exercise and physical activity on depression
Dinas, P. C.; Koutedakis, Y.; Flouris, A. D. (2011)Depression is a very prevalent mental disorder affecting 340 million people globally and is projected to become the leading cause of disability and the second leading contributor to the global burden of disease by the year ... -
Exposure to secondhand smoke promotes sympathetic activity and cardiac muscle cachexia
Flouris, A. D.; Dinas, P. C.; Tzatzarakis, M. N.; Metsios, G. S.; Kostikas, K.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Tsatsakis, A. M.; Koutedakis, Y. (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 ... -
Impact of regular exercise on classical brown adipose tissue

Innovative Methods for the Benefit of Public Health Using Space Technologies for Disaster Response
Dinas, P. C.; Mueller, C.; Clark, N.; Elgin, T.; Nasseri, S. A.; Yaffe, E.; Madry, S.; Clark, J. B.; Asrar, F. (2015)Space applications have evolved to play a significant role in disaster relief by providing services including remote sensing imagery for mitigation and disaster damage assessments; satellite communication to provide access ... -
Non-invasive measurement of tibialis anterior muscle temperature during rest, cycling exercise and post-exercise recovery
Flouris, A. D.; Dinas, P. C.; Tsitoglou, K.; Patramani, I.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)We introduce a non-invasive and accurate method to assess tibialis anterior muscle temperature (Tm) during rest, cycling exercise, and post-exercise recovery using the insulation disk (INDISK) technique. Twenty-six healthy ... -
Secondhand smoke exposure induces acutely airway acidification and oxidative stress
Kostikas, K.; Minas, M.; Nikolaou, E.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Liakos, P.; Gougoura, S.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Dinas, P. C.; Metsios, G. S.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y. (2013)Previous studies have shown that secondhand smoke induces lung function impairment and increases proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acute effects of secondhand smoke on airway ...
