Perilipin-1 in Hemodialyzed Patients: Association With History of Coronary Heart Disease and Lipid Profile
(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 ...
Endothelin-1 Acutely Reduces the Permeability of Visceral Sheep Peritoneum In Vitro Through Both Endothelin-A and Endothelin-B Receptors
(2013)
Mesothelium is an important part of the peritoneal barrier for water and ion transport, essential for effective peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal fibrosis has been associated with PD treatment failure. Endothelin-1 ...
Plasma vascular endothelial growth factor and angiogenin are positively related to erythropoietin dose in hemodialysis patients
(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 ...
Increased visfatin in hemodialysis patients is associated with decreased demands for recombinant human erythropoietin
(2013)
Background: Studies detected an association between visfatin and markers of iron metabolism in patients with insulin resistance. In this study, such a relation was evaluated in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Also relations ...
Toll-like receptors and their role in renal pathologies
(2012)
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the first identified and best studied family of pattern recognition receptors. Expressed in immunocytes, TLRs initiate innate immune responses and concurrently shape the subsequent adaptive ...
Lipopolysaccharide and hypoxia significantly alters interleukin-8 and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 production by human fibroblasts but not fibrosis related factors
(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 ...
Suppression of humoral immune response to hepatitis B surface antigen vaccine in BALB/c mice by 1-methyl-tryptophan co-administration
(2011)
Background and the purpose of the study: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) suppresses adaptive immune response. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the IDO inhibitor namely 1-methyl-DL-tryptophan ...
Ferroportin in monocytes of hemodialysis patients and its associations with hepcidin, inflammation, markers of iron status and resistance to erythropoietin
(2014)
Disturbed iron homeostasis contributes to resistance to recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Increased hepcidin, which downregulates the iron exporter ferroportin, has been incriminated. ...
Epidemiology, impact, and treatment options of restless legs syndrome in end-stage renal disease patients: An evidence-based review
(2014)
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) (or Willis-Ekbom disease) is a neurological disorder with high prevalence among the end-stage renal disease population. This is one of the most predominant types of secondary RLS, and it is ...
