8-Isoprostane levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis

Malli, F.; Bardaka, F.; Tsilioni, I.; Karetsi, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. (2013)

Objective and design: Sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are both associated with deregulated inflammatory mechanisms partially triggered by aggravated oxidative stress. 8-Isoprostane has been proposed as ...

Acute changes in serum osteoprotegerin and receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappa B ligand levels in women with established osteoporosis treated with teriparatide

Anastasilakis, A. D.; Goulis, D. G.; Polyzos, S. A.; Gerou, S.; Pavlidou, V.; Koukoulis, G.; Avramidis, A. (2008)

Albumin possesses intrinsic enolase activity towards dihydrotestosterone which can differentiate benign from malignant breast tumors

Drmanovic, Z.; Voyatzi, S.; Kouretas, D.; Sahpazidou, D.; Papageorgiou, A.; Antonoglou, O. (1999)

Serum albumin was found to possess enolase activity towards the dihydrotestesterone (DHT) molecule, converting it from its 3-keto to 3-enol form. This activity was accompanied by albumin during all stages of purification, ...

Alterations of Deadenylase Expression in Acute Leukemias: Evidence for Poly(A)-Specific Ribonuclease as a Potential Biomarker

Maragozidis, P.; Karangeli, M.; Labrou, M.; Dimoulou, G.; Papaspyrou, K.; Salataj, E.; Pournaras, S.; Matsouka, P.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Balatsos, N. A. A. (2012)

Background/Aims: The degradation of mRNA is a key process in the control of gene expression correlated to anomalous cell proliferation. The rate-limiting step of mRNA degradation is the removal of the poly(A) tail by ...

Angiogenin, Angiopoietin-1, Angiopoietin-2, and Endostatin Serum Levels in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Oikonomou, K. A.; Kapsoritakis, A. N.; Kapsoritaki, A. I.; Manolakis, A. C.; Tiaka, E. K.; Tsiopoulos, F. D.; Tsiompanidis, I. A.; Potamianos, S. P. (2011)

Background: Angiogenesis is a complex process, involving a great number of mediators. It is implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, holding a critical role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The objective ...

Antioxidant activity of a series of fluorinated pyrano-nucleoside analogues of N-4-benzoyl cytosine and N-6-benzoyl adenine

Spanou, C.; Manta, S.; Komiotis, D.; Dervishi, A.; Kouretas, D. (2007)

Fluorinated nucleoside analogues are known as antitumor, antiviral and chemotherapeutic agents, although the antioxidant activity of this kind of molecules is not yet investigated. In this study we have tested the antioxidant ...
