Relation between leptin and cortisol values in umbilical vessels at normal vaginal delivery
(2004)
To study the role of various hormones in the control of fetal leptin secretion during labour, 33 pregnant women with normal singleton term pregnancy were recruited. At the time of spontaneous vaginal delivery, a venous ...

(2004)
Spontaneous dissection of the coronary arteries, in the absence of trauma, is an unusual but well-documented entity that occurs usually in middle-aged women. It is a rare cause of sudden death and myocardial infarction. ...
Differential expression of leptin and leptin's receptor isoform (Ob-Rb) mRNA between advanced and minimally affected osteoarthritic cartilage; effect on cartilage metabolism
(2007)
Objective: To investigate leptin's effect on cartilage metabolism and the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and protein levels of leptin and leptin's receptor isoforms were ...
Blocking of interleukin-10 receptor - A novel approach to stimulate T-helper cell type 1 responses to hepatitis C virus
(2005)
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with weak CD4+ T-helper type 1 reactivity and enhanced interleukin-10 production to HCV antigens. Here we demonstrate in vitro that monoclonal antibody-induced blockade ...
High resolution computed tomography findings on the lung of early breast-cancer patients treated by postoperative breast irradiation with a hypofractionated radiotherapy schedule
(2005)
BACKGROUND: Hypofractionated breast radiotherapy (RT), although convenient for patients and health care systems, could have a negative impact on normal tissues such as lung. AIM: To evaluate radiation-induced lung toxicity ...
