Arginase type I as a marker of coronary heart disease in hemodialysis patients
Eleftheriadis, T.; Liakopoulos, V.; Antoniadi, G.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2011)Cardiovascular disease, and mainly coronary heart disease (CHD), is the leading cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Non-traditional risk factors may play an important role in this population. Arginase is known ... -
Increased Plasma Angiogenin Level is Associated and May Contribute to Decreased T-Cell Zeta-Chain Expression in Hemodialysis Patients
Eleftheriadis, T.; Kartsios, C.; Pissas, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Antoniadi, G.; Galaktidou, G.; Stefanidis, I. (2013)Hemodialysis (HD) patients are characterized by impaired T-cell function at least in part because of T-cell zeta-chain downregulation due to inflammation. Angiogenin responds as an acute phase reactant, is increased in HD ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase is increased in hemodialysis patients and affects immune response to hepatitis B vaccination
Eleftheriadis, T.; Liakopoulos, V.; Antoniadi, G.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2011)Background: Acquired immunity is impaired in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is inducible by inflammation and through tryptophan depletion and generation of kynurenine pathway products suppresses ... -
Inverse Association of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D With Markers of Inflammation and Suppression of Osteoclastic Activity in Hemodialysis Patients
Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2012)Introduction. In hemodialysis patients, 25-hydroxyvitamin D conversion to active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D by the kidneys is very limited. The expression of both vitamin D receptor and 1 alpha-hydroxylase in cells of the ... -
Like total ghrelin, acylated ghrelin is also lower in HD patients with cardiovascular disease
Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Sparopoulou, T.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2011) -
Lipopolysaccharide and hypoxia significantly alters interleukin-8 and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 production by human fibroblasts but not fibrosis related factors
Eleftheriadis, T.; Liakopoulos, V.; Lawson, B.; Antoniadi, G.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2011)Besides extracellular matrix production, fibroblasts are able to produce various cytokines. Their ubiquitous position makes fibroblasts appropriate cells for sensing various noxious stimuli and for attracting immune cells ... -
Perilipin-1 in Hemodialyzed Patients: Association With History of Coronary Heart Disease and Lipid Profile
Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Pissas, G.; Arampatzis, S.; Sparopoulou, T.; Galaktidou, G.; Stefanidis, I. (2012)Perilipin-1 surrounds lipid droplets in both adipocytes and in atheroma plaque foam cells and controls access of lipases to the lipid core. In hemodialysis (HD) patients, dyslipidemia, malnutrition, inflammation and ... -
Plasma Angiogenin and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A Among Hemodialysis Patients
Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Pissas, G.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2012)Introduction. Angiogenesis plays a role in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) pathology, and certain angiogenic factors are increased by inflammation. The aim of this study was to ... -
Plasma Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase and Arginase Type I May Contribute to Decreased Blood T-Cell Count in Hemodialysis Patients
Eleftheriadis, T.; Yiannaki, E.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Pissas, G.; Galaktidou, G.; Stefanidis, I. (2012)Background: Acquired immunity is impaired in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and decreased T-cell number may contribute. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and arginase type I (ARG) catabolize tryptophane and arginine, respectively, ... -
Plasma Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Concentration is Increased in Hemodialysis Patients and May Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Coronary Heart Disease
Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2012)Introduction: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in this population. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), ... -
Plasma Serotonin and Markers of Bone Formation and Bone Resorption in Hemodialysis Patients
Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Sparopoulou, T.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2013)Introduction. Serotonin receptors are present in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and serotonin affects bone metabolism. The association of plasma serotonin with markers of bone formation and bone resorption in hemodialysis ... -
Plasma vascular endothelial growth factor and angiogenin are positively related to erythropoietin dose in hemodialysis patients
Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Pissas, G.; Galaktidou, G.; Stefanidis, I. (2013)Purpose: Experimental data confirmed that erythropoietin (EPO) administration alters the course of various pathological situations such as heart failure and tumor growth by inducing vascular endothelial growth factor-A ... -
Serum osteoprotegerin is markedly increased and may contribute to decreased blood T cell count in hemodialysis patients
Eleftheriadis, T.; Yiannaki, E.; Liakopoulos, V.; Antoniadi, G.; Pissas, G.; Galaktidou, G.; Stefanidis, I. (2013)Acquired immunity is impaired in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and decreased T cell number may contribute. Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) are expressed in cells of the ... -
