The activation of leptin-mediated survivin is limited by the inducible suppressor SOCS-3 in MCF-7 cells
(2011)Although leptin has been found to be implicated in obesity-related breast carcinogenesis in postmenopausal women, the molecular mechanisms involved are yet to be defined. Recently, the antiapoptotic gene survivin has been ... -
Adiponectin: A New Independent Predictor of Liver Steatosis and Response to IFN-alpha Treatment in Chronic Hepatitis C
(2008)OBJECTIVES: To compare serum adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha among patients with viral liver diseases; to investigate associations of serum adiponectin and TNF-alpha with histological or viral characteristics ... -
Association Between Polymorphisms in MTHFR and APOA5 and Metabolic Syndrome in the Greek Population
(2011)Impaired energy homeostasis and low-grade inflammation have been related to components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) such as dyslipidemia, obesity, and insulin resistance. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes ... -
Association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene polymorphism (-308) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome
(2012)Background and Aim: Elevated serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentration and a polymorphism of the TNF-alpha gene at the position -308 in the promoter region are associated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea ... -
Body Composition in Severe Refractory Asthma: Comparison with COPD Patients and Healthy Smokers
(2010)Background: Body composition is an important parameter for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) whereas the association between asthma and obesity is not fully understood. The impact of severe refractory ... -
Can secondary school students' self-reported measures of height and weight be trusted? An effect size approach
(2006)Background: Self-reported measures of height and weight are a cost-effective alternative to direct measures in large-scale studies. This study was designed to examine the accuracy of adolescent students' self-reported ... -
Cigarette smoking associates with body weight and muscle mass of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional, observational study
(2008)Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with altered metabolism leading to muscle wasting. In the general population, cigarette smoking is known to affect body composition by reducing fat and inhibiting muscle ... -
Eating habits and factors affecting food choice of adolescents living in rural areas
(2013)OBJECTIVE: To establish factors that affect food choices among adolescents living in rural areas and to identify their food choices. DESIGN: A random sample of adolescents living in a Greek rural area (n=382) aged 12-18 ... -
Effect of ovarian hormones on serum adiponectin and resistin concentrations
(2009)Objective: To investigate the effect of ovarian hormones on adiponectin and resistin levels in women. Design: Experimental study. Setting: University hospital. Patient(s): Thirteen normally cycling women (7 in group I and ... -
The effects of acute exercise on serum adiponectin and resistin levels and their relation to insulin sensitivity in overweight males
(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 ... -
The Effects of Eccentric Exercise on Muscle Function and Proprioception of Individuals Being Overweight and Underweight
(2013)Paschalis, V, Nikolaidis, MG, Theodorou, AA, Deli, CK, Raso, V, Jamurtas, AZ, Giakas, G, and Koutedakis, Y. The effects of eccentric exercise on muscle function and proprioception of individuals being overweight and ... -
Effects of interaction between angiotensin I-converting enzyme polymorphisms and lifestyle on adiposity in adolescent Greeks
(2005)Genetic variation in the human angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene has been associated with many heritable traits, including obesity. Herein, we report the results of a study of obesity-related phenotypes and lifestyle ... -
Elevated plasma immunoreactive leptin levels preexist in healthy offspring of patients with essential hypertension
(1999)Background Plasma leptin levels and plasma insulin levels have been found to be elevated in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and have been suggested to be components of the metabolic syndrome. Increased heart rate ... -
Exploring the potential of computer and video games for health and physical education: A literature review
(2009)This study aims at critically reviewing recently published scientific literature on the use of computer and video games in Health Education (HE) and Physical Education (PE) with a view: (a) to identifying the potential ... -
Factors associated with the development of superficial vein thrombosis in patients with varicose veins
(2013)Introduction: Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) is a common and controversial clinical entity. Recent studies have demonstrated that SVT should be seen as a venous thromboembolism (VTE). The objective of this study was to ... -
FTO genotype and adiposity in children: physical activity levels influence the effect of the risk genotype in adolescent males
(2010)Studies of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene provide compelling evidence of genetic variation in the general population that influences fat levels and obesity risk. Studies of the interaction between genetic ... -
