Activation of general control nonderepressible 2 kinase protects human glomerular endothelial cells from harmful high-glucose-induced molecular pathways
(2016)Purpose: Considering the referred beneficial effects of protein restriction on diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the role of renal endothelium in its pathogenesis, we evaluated the effect of general control nonderepressible 2 ... -
Activation of general control nonderepressible-2 kinase ameliorates glucotoxicity in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, preserves their integrity, and prevents mesothelial to mesenchymal transition
(2019)Along with infections, ultrafiltration failure due to the toxicity of glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions is the Achilles’ heel of PD method. Triggered by the protective effect of general control ... -
Acute leriche syndrome in pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A case report
(2020)Introduction: Coexistance of pancreatic carcinoma and Leriche syndrome is an extremely rare pathological condition. Leriche syndrome is defined as occlusion of the distal aorta at the bifurcation into the common iliac ... -
Alanyl-glutamine restores tight junction organization after disruption by a conventional peritoneal dialysis fluid
(2020)Understanding and targeting the molecular basis of peritoneal solute and protein transport is essential to improve peritoneal dialysis (PD) efficacy and patient outcome. Supplementation of PD fluids (PDF) with alanyl-glutamine ... -
Allopurinol protects human glomerular endothelial cells from high glucose-induced reactive oxygen species generation, p53 overexpression and endothelial dysfunction
(2018)Purpose: Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction in capillary endothelial cells is a prerequisite for the development of diabetic nephropathy. Inhibition of xanthine oxidase, another ROS generator, ... -
Alterations in hearing function of patients with glucose disorders
(2019)Objective: To study the prevalence of hearing impairment in patients with various glucose disorders. Patients and methods: A total of 499 individuals were studied, 51 patients with type 1 (TIDM), 188 patients with type 2 ... -
Ammonia-induced inhibition of manure-based continuous biomethanation process under different organic loading rates and associated microbial community dynamics
(2021)Three Continuously Stirred Tank Reactors (CTSRs) were operating at steady state conditions with Organic Loading Rates (OLR) of 2.09, 3.024 and 4.0 g VS L−1 d−1. Glucose was used as the sole factor for increasing the OLR, ... -
APD or CAPD: one glove does not fit all
(2021)The use of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) in its various forms has increased over the past few years mainly in developed countries. This could be attributed to improved cycler design, apparent lifestyle benefits and ... -
Appetite control across the lifecourse: The acute impact of breakfast drink quantity and protein content. the full4health project
(2020)Understanding the mechanisms of hunger, satiety and how nutrients affect appetite control is important for successful weight management across the lifecourse. The primary aim of this study was to describe acute appetite ... -
Aspirin Versus Clopidogrel for Type 2 Diabetic Patients with First-Ever Noncardioembolic Acute Ischemic Stroke: Ten-Year Survival Data from the Athens Stroke Outcome Project
(2017)Background and objective Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of stroke and poor outcome following a stroke event. We assessed the impact of discharge treatment with aspirin versus clopidogrel on the ... -
Assessing performance in pre-season wrestling athletes using biomarkers
(2018)Introduction: Although regular training introduces the desired changes in athletes’ metabolism towards optimal final performance, literature is rarely focusing on the metabolic responses off-competition. Therefore, the aim ... -
Assessing the physiological effects of traditional regional diets targeting the prevention of cardiovascular disease: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials implementing mediterranean, New Nordic, Japanese, Atlantic, Persian and Mexican dietary interventions
(2021)Traditional regional diets are considered as sustainable dietary patterns, while many have been examined with regard to their health benefits. The aim of the present systematic review was to aggerate all evidence on the ... -
Associations among serum insulin, calprotectin, and C-reactive protein concentrations in Miniature Schnauzers with idiopathic hyperlipidemia before and after feeding an ultra-low-fat diet
(2022)Background: Miniature Schnauzers (MS) commonly have idiopathic hypertriglyceridemia (HTGL), which is associated with insulin resistance (IR) and a subclinical inflammatory phenotype. Objectives: Determine the association ... -
Associations between ghrelin and leptin and neural food cue reactivity in a fasted and sated state
(2021)Food cue exposure can trigger eating. Food cue reactivity (FCR) is a conditioned response to food cues and includes physiological responses and activation of reward-related brain areas. FCR can be affected by hunger and ... -
Beta-endorphin infusion during exercise in rats does not alter hepatic or muscle glycogen
(2001)The aim of this study was to determine whether beta -endorphin infusion influences liver or muscle glycogen concentration during exercise. Thirty-two rats (Harlan Co., IN, USA) with a body mass of 265-290 g were assigned ... -
Bilateral Pleural Effusion in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Think Beyond the Obvious
(2022)An 86-year-old woman, non-smoker, with a medical history of rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years (stable at 5mg of prednisolone) was referred from a peripheral hospital to the Department of Respiratory Medicine of our tertiary ... -
Black holes and high levels of neurofilaments in glial fibrillary acidic protein – astrocytopathy: a case report
