Assessment of the antioxidant activity of an olive oil total polyphenolic fraction and hydroxytyrosol from a Greek Olea europea variety in endothelial cells and myoblasts
(2017)Olive oil (OO) constitutes the basis of the Mediterranean diet, and it seems that its biophenols, such as hydroxytyrosol (HT) may scavenge free radicals, attracting distinct attention due to their beneficial effects in ... -
Assessment of the redox status in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes reveals great variations
(2016)The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of a new redox status marker, the static oxidation reduction potential (sORP), for assessing oxidative stress in 75 patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and ... -
Autism spectrum disorder, anxiety and severe depression in a male patient with deletion and duplication in the 21q22.3 region: A case report
(2019)In this report, a patient carrying a 650 kb deletion and a 759 kb duplication of chromosomal 21q22.3 region was described. Facial dysmorphic features, hypotonia, short stature, learning impairment, autism spectrum disorder, ... -
Cancer-associated stroke: Pathophysiology, detection and management (Review)
(2019)Numerous types of cancer have been shown to be associated with either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In this review, the epidemiology and pathophysiology of stroke in cancer patients is discussed, while providing vital ... -
Cell-specific and roasting-dependent regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway by coffee extracts
(2018)Coffee is a popular beverage that contains various bioactive compounds. However, its molecular mechanism of action is not fully elucidated. In this context, two previously characterized coffee extracts, a lightly roasted ... -
Characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients who develop pulmonary embolism: A cross-sectional study
(2021)Pulmonary embolism (PE), along with deep vein thrombosis, are collectively known as venous thromboembo- lism (VTE). Predisposing factors for PE include post-operative conditions, pregnancy, cancer and an advanced age; of ... -
Comparison of antioxidant activity between green and roasted coffee beans using molecular methods
(2015)Coffee is one of the most popular and widely consumed beverages worldwide due to its pleasant taste and aroma. A number of studies have been performed to elucidate the possible beneficial effects of coffee consumption on ... -
Comparison of the effect of the aerobic glycolysis inhibitor dichloroacetate and of the krebs cycle inhibitor LW6 on cellular and humoral alloimmunity
(2017)Cell metabolism is altered during T-cell and B-cell activation and differentiation. Clarifying the exact metabolic shifts may lead to the development of new immunosuppressive medications. In this study, the effect of the ... -
COVID-19 pandemic: Understanding the emergence, pathogenesis and containment (Review)
(2020)The ongoing crisis of the novel SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) has forced several countries to resort to extreme public health measures at a level never encountered in the past century. Originating in Wuhan, China, this is ... -
Differential effects of the two amino acid sensing systems, the GCN2 kinase and the mTOR complex 1, on primary human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells
(2016)Amino acid deprivation activates general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase and inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), affecting the immune response. In this study, the effects of GCN2 kinase activation or ... -
The effect of anti‑HLA class I antibodies on the immunological properties of human glomerular endothelial cells and their modification by mTOR inhibition or GCN2 kinase activation
(2021)In antibody‑mediated rejection (ABMR), the graft endothelium is at the forefront of the kidney transplant against the assault from the recipient's humoral immune system, and is a target of the latter. The present study ... -
