Apolipoprotein E polymorphism is not associated with spinal bone mineral density in peri- and postmenopausal Greek women
Efstathiadou, Z.; Koukoulis, G.; Stakias, N.; Challa, A.; Tsatsoulis, A. (2004)Objectives: A number of studies have shown a positive relation between ApoE gene and osteoporosis or fracture risk but this finding has not been uniform in all populations studied. The aim of the present study was to ... -
AR CAG repeat length is not associated with serum gonadal steroids and lipid levels in healthy men
Goutou, M.; Sakka, C.; Stakias, N.; Stefanidis, I.; Koukoulis, G. N. (2009)P>Cardiovascular risk factors seem to be affected by androgens, which exert their action through the androgen receptor (AR). Androgenic action correlates inversely with a polymorphic CAG repeat region in the AR gene encoding ... -
Associations of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Beta Gene Polymorphisms with Lipid Levels and Insulin Resistance in Men
Efstathiadou, Z. A.; Sakka, C.; Polyzos, S. A.; Goutou, M.; Stakias, N.; Bargiota, A.; Koukoulis, G. N. (2015)Objective. The association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms in estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) and beta (ESR2) genes with lipid levels and insulin resistance in men. Design and methods. Lipids, glucose, insulin and ... -
Associations of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Beta Gene Polymorphisms with Sex Steroid Levels and Body Fat Content in Men
Sakka, C.; Efstathiadou, Z. A.; Polyzos, S. A.; Goutou, M.; Stakias, N.; Koukoulis, G. N. (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 ... -
Clonal dissemination of mupirocin-resistant staphylococci in Greek hospitals
Petinaki, E.; Spiliopoulou, I.; Kontos, F.; Maniati, M.; Bersos, Z.; Stakias, N.; Malamou-Lada, H.; Koutsia-Carouzou, C.; Maniatis, A. N. (2004)Objectives: To determine the rates of mupirocin resistance in staphylococci during a 4 year period (1999-2002) in Greece. Materials: A total of 1200 Staphylococcus aureus and 2760 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), ... -
Correlation of estrogen receptor beta gene polymorphisms with spinal bone mineral density in peri- and post-menopausal Greek women
Efstathiadou, Z.; Koukoulis, G.; Stakias, N.; Challa, A.; Zintzaras, E.; Tsatsoulis, A. (2006)Estrogens play a significant role in bone physiology. Their action is mainly exerted through their receptors. Estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) plays a major role in bone homeostasis and there is evidence suggesting that ... -
The effects of acute exercise on serum adiponectin and resistin levels and their relation to insulin sensitivity in overweight males
Jamurtas, A. Z.; Theocharis, V.; Koukoulis, G.; Stakias, N.; Fatouros, I. G.; Kouretas, D.; Koutedakis, Y. (2006)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a submaximal aerobic exercise bout on adiponectin and resistin levels as well as insulin sensitivity, until 48 h post-exercise in healthy overweight males. Nine ... -
Lower prevalence of epsilon 4 allele of apolipoprotein E gene in healthy, longer-lived individuals of hellenic origin
Stakias, N.; Liakos, P.; Tsiapali, E.; Goutou, M.; Koukoulis, G. N. (2006)Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), and especially its epsilon 4 isoform, is considered a risk factor predisposing to coronary heart disease. We hypothesized that the absence of epsilon 4 allele offers a better chance for longer life. ... -
Resistin serum levels are increased but not correlated with insulin resistance in chronic hemodialysis patients
Filippidis, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Mertens, P. R.; Kiropoulos, T.; Stakias, N.; Verikouki, C.; Patsidis, E.; Koukoulis, G.; Stefanidis, I. (2005)Background/Aims: Insulin resistance is a well-known phenomenon in uremia. Resistin, a recently discovered insulin inhibitor secreted by adipocytes, is associated with obesity and insulin resistance in mice. Adiponectin, ...
