Amelioration of cardiovascular risk factors with partial biochemical control of acromegaly
(2008)Objective Complete remission of acromegaly is associated with favourable changes in cardiovascular risk parameters. We evaluated the effects of suboptimal therapy on haemodynamic, metabolic, inflammatory and coagulation ... -
Associations of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Beta Gene Polymorphisms with Lipid Levels and Insulin Resistance in Men
(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
(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 ... -
Impact of gsp mutations in somatotroph pituitary adenomas on growth hormone response to somatostatin analogs: a meta-analysis
(2015)Objective: Somatic mutations in the GNAS1 gene, which encodes the alpha-subunit of G stimulatory proteins (gsp), are frequently detected in somatotroph pituitary tumors and have been associated to specific clinical and ... -
Oxidative Stress and Reduced Antioxidative Status, along with Endothelial Dysfunction in Acromegaly
(2013)Acromegaly is characterized by high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction are underlying mechanisms of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the blood redox ...
