Daily supplementation with ghrelin improves in vitro bovine blastocysts formation rate and alters gene expression related to embryo quality
(2014)Ghrelin is a gastric peptide having regulatory role in the reproductive system functionality, acting mainly at central level. Because the expression of ghrelin system (ghrelin and its receptor) has been detected in the ... -
Differential effects of xanthine oxidase inhibition and exercise on albumin concentration in rat tissues
(2010)Albumin is a protein present in almost all kinds of mammalian cells. It has binding sites for several molecules, and possesses antioxidant and other important properties. The aim of this study was to examine the effects ... -
The DJ-1 protein as a candidate biomarker in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2014)Oxidative stress has a central role in the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The DJ-1 protein functions as a sensor of oxidative stress, acting both as a reactive oxygen species scavenger (ROS) ... -
The Effect of Crocus sativus L. and Its Constituents on Memory: Basic Studies and Clinical Applications
(2015)Memory-related disorders are a common public health issue. Memory impairment is frequent in degenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson disease), cerebral injuries, and schizophrenia. The dried stigma ... -
The effect of exercise-induced hypoxemia on blood redox status in well-trained rowers
(2012)Exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH), characterized by decline in arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO(2)), is a common phenomenon in endurance athletes. Acute intensive exercise is associated with the generation ... -
Effects of adenotonsillectomy on R-R interval and brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with sleep apnea: A preliminary report
(2011)Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with decreased R-R interval length and overall R-R interval variability in the electrocardiogram along with increased morning brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) blood levels. ... -
Effects of Greek legume plant extracts on xanthine oxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase activities
(2012)Legumes are considered to have beneficial health implications, which have been attributed to their phytochemical content. Polyphenols are considered the most important phytochemical compounds extensively studied for their ... -
Effects of walking on heart rate recovery, endothelium modulators and quality of life in patients with heart failure
(2011)Background: Few studies have addressed the impact of moderate unsupervised everyday physical activity in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Design: We investigated the effects of a 12-week walking programme as the ... -
Ergogenic and Antioxidant Effects of Spirulina Supplementation in Humans
(2010)KALAFATI. M., A. Z. JAMURTAS, M. G. NIKOLAIDIS, V. PASCHALIS, A. A. THEODOROU, G. K. SAKELLARIOU, Y. KOUTEDAKIS, and D. KOURETAS. Ergogenic and Antioxidant Effects of Spirulina Supplementation in Humans. Med. Sci. Sports ... -
Favorable and prolonged changes in blood lipid profile after muscle-damaging exercise
(2008)Purpose: To examine the effect of repeated muscle-damaging exercise on the time-course changes in blood lipid and lipoprotein profile and compare them with changes in indices of muscle function and damage. Methods: Twelve ... -
Feed supplemented with byproducts from olive oil mill wastewater processing increases antioxidant capacity in broiler chickens
(2015)In the present study, a ceramic membrane microfiltration method was used for the separation of two liquid products, the downstream permeate and the upstream retentate, from olive mill wastewater (OMWW). These liquid products ... -
Flavonoid Glycosides Isolated from Unique Legume Plant Extracts as Novel Inhibitors of Xanthine Oxidase
(2012)Legumes and the polyphenolic compounds present in them have gained a lot of interest due to their beneficial health implications. Dietary polyphenolic compounds, especially flavonoids, exert antioxidant properties and are ... -
Gain-of-function variant in GLUD2 glutamate dehydrogenase modifies Parkinson's disease onset
(2010)Parkinson's disease (PD), a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and their terminations in the basal ganglia, is thought to be related to genetic and environmental ... -
Glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms and onset age in alpha-synuclein A53T mutant Parkinson's disease
(2007)Monogenic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) provide an opportunity to examine mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) has detoxification and antioxidative functions. To screen genetic ... -
Interactions of Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing With Recurrent Wheezing or Asthma and Their Effects on Sleep Quality
(2011)Snoring is the most characteristic symptom of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing ( SDB) and recurrent wheezing is the most common clinical manifestation of asthma. The purpose of the present review is to outline the ... -
Interplay between protein carbonylation and nitrosylation in plants
(2013)ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are key regulators of redox homeostasis in living organisms including plants. As control of redox homeostasis plays a central function in plant biology, redox proteomics could help ... -
Lipid peroxidation and tissue damage
(1999)In recent years it has become apparent that the oxidation of lipids, or lipid peroxidation, is a crucial step in the pathogenesis of several disease states in adult and infant patients. Lipid peroxidation is a process ... -
Local infusion of ascorbate augments NO-dependent cutaneous vasodilatation during intense exercise in the heat
