Absence of leptin expression and secretion by human luteinized granulosa cells
(2003)Whether leptin is secreted by the human ovary is not known. The available data on leptin gene (ob gene) expression by human granulosa cells are conflicting. The aim of the present study was first to re-examine the expression ... -
Acute hypoadrenocorticism (adrenal crisis) in the dog: a report on six clinical cases
(2011)Medical records of six dogs admitted with acute hypoadrenocorticism were reviewed. All 6 animals were bradycardic and had prolonged capillary refilling time. Hypothermia was detected in 5/6 animals. Clinicopathological ... -
Anti-HDV immunoglobulin M testing in hepatitis delta revisited: correlations with disease activity and response to pegylated interferon-alpha 2a treatment
(2012)Background: The role of anti-HDV immunoglobulin M (IgM) testing in patients receiving pegylated interferon-alpha therapy for hepatitis delta is unknown. We performed anti-HDV IgM testing in a well defined cohort of HDVinfected ... -
Antioxidant capacity in obstructive sleep apnea patients
(2003)Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) results in oxygen desaturation and arousal from sleep. Free oxygen radicals are highly reactive molecules, which can be produced by the OSA phenomenon known as ... -
Associations of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Beta Gene Polymorphisms with Sex Steroid Levels and Body Fat Content in Men
(2012)Objective: Estrogens play an important role in male physiology. We investigated the possible association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms in Estrogen Receptor alpha (ESR1) and Estrogen Receptor beta (ESR2) genes ... -
Attenuating activity of the ovary on LH response to GnRH during the follicular phase of the cycle
(2014)Objective Oestradiol sensitizes the pituitary to GnRH, while gonadotrophin surge attenuating factor (GnSAF) may oppose this action. Using the LH response to GnRH during treatment with FSH as an in vivo bioassay for GnSAF, ... -
Baseline Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Plasma Levels, Systemic Inflammation, Weight Loss and Clinical Outcome in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
(2011)Background: Cancer patients frequently suffer from weight loss and systemic inflammation in the context of advanced disease, which is related to adverse outcome. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is an anabolic molecule ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PROTEIN PROTECTING RNA FROM ACID PRECIPITATION AND ITS EVALUATION AS TUMOR-MARKER IN GASTROINTESTINAL AND GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER
(1995)In a previous study, we observed increased protective activity against acid precipitation of poly (U) in the serum of tumor bearing mice and hepatoma patients. In the present study we purified and partially characterized ... -
Diagnostic and clinical significance of anti-centromere antibodies in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2013)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease of the liver characterised by biochemical evidence of cholestasis, elevated alkaline phosphatase levels and the presence of the highly disease specific anti-mitochondrial ... -
Effect of a special carbohydrate-protein bar and tomato juice supplementation on oxidative stress markers and vascular endothelial dynamics in ultra-marathon runners
(2014)It is well established that exercise induces excessive production of reactive species leading to oxidative stress, which has been implicated in oxidative damage of macromolecules, immune dysfunction, muscle damage and ... -
Efficacy of feeding cow colostrum to newborn lambs
(2012)In the present study the efficacy of feeding cow colostrum to newborn lambs was investigated. Seventy two newborn lambs were divided into 6 groups and were fed as follows: groups 1 to 3 received 4 meals of 1st or 2nd or ... -
Estradiol and leptin as conditional prognostic IVF markers
(2005)We studied the concentration of serum estradiol and serum and follicular fluid leptin in 200 women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET) program at the time of human chorionic gonadotrophin ... -
Feline hyperthyroidism: diagnosis and treatment
(2013)Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrinopathy in cats older than 8 years, with no sex or breed predisposition. Benign adenomas and adenomatous hyperplasia of the thyroid gland is observed in the majority of cases. Symptoms ... -
Hematologic and biochemical profile of juvenile and adult athletes of both sexes: Implications for clinical evaluation
(2003)The aim of the present study was to compare the values of seventeen hematologic and biochemical parameters between juvenile and adult athletes and non-athletes of both sexes. 579 athletes and 241 non-athletes participated ... -
Increased oxidative stress in exudative pleural effusions - A new marker for the differentiation between exudates and transudates?
(2005)Study objectives: Oxidative stress has been associated with various respiratory disorders. We tested the hypothesis that exudates would present higher levels of oxidative stress compared to transudates, expressing the ... -
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 ... -
Isolation and characterization of a protein from Mendole (Spicara maena) eggs that binds to DNA and inhibits its replication as well as its acid precipitation
(2001)Proteins that bind and protect nucleic acids from acid precipitation have been characterized from human and mouse plasma. In the present study one protein from Mendole (Spicara maena) eggs was purified to homogeneity, by ... -
Liver biochemical and histopathological findings in dogs with experimentally induced exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
(2004)Routine liver biochemical parameters were evaluated in 8 dogs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) induced by surgical ligation of the pancreatic duct and the pancreatic branch of the pancreaticoduodenal artery and ... -
Proteins from fish eggs that protect DNA from acid precipitation and inhibit DNA synthesis
(2001)We partially characterized proteins that inhibit DNA acid precipitation from various fish eggs (Sparus aurata, Dicentrarchus labrax, Mugil cephalus and Zeus faber). The active proteins were purified by acetone fractionation. ... -
Reactive oxygen metabolites as an index of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease severity
(2006)Aim. The purpose of this study was to determine whether reactive oxygen metabolite species (ROMs) correlated with lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to investigate whether ROMs ...
