Chemoprevention of liver cancer by plant polyphenols
(2012)
Primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent tumors representing the fifth commonest malignancy worldwide and the third cause of mortality from cancer. Currently, the treatments for ...
Flavonoid Glycosides Isolated from Unique Legume Plant Extracts as Novel Inhibitors of Xanthine Oxidase
(2012)
Legumes and the polyphenolic compounds present in them have gained a lot of interest due to their beneficial health implications. Dietary polyphenolic compounds, especially flavonoids, exert antioxidant properties and are ...
Glycemic Response of a Carbohydrate-Protein Bar with Ewe-Goat Whey
(2014)
In this study we examined the glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of a functional food product, which contains ewe-goat whey protein and carbohydrates in a 1: 1 ratio. Nine healthy volunteers, (age, 23.3 +/- 3.9 ...
Applications and Biomonitoring Issues of Recombinant Erythropoietins for Doping Control
(2011)
The biochemical actions and side effects of recombinant erythropoietins (rhEPOs), their analogs and mimetics, their misuse as doping agents, and the principal analytical strategies developed to identify them in athletes' ...
Assessment of Oxidative Stress in Septic and Obese Patients Using Markers of Oxidation-reduction Potential
(2015)
Background/ Aim: The novel static (sORP) and capacity (cORP) oxidation-reduction potential markers were examined for assessing oxidative stress in plasma of patients with sepsis. Moreover, the possible effect of obesity-induced ...
ANTIANGIOGENIC POTENTIAL OF GRAPE STEM EXTRACT THROUGH INHIBITION OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR EXPRESSION
(2014)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the antiangiogenic potential of a grape stem extract against tube formation by human endothelial cells (EA.hy926). The results showed that at low and non-cytotoxic concentrations ...

Adipocytokine Levels in Children: Effects of Fatness and Training
(2012)
To investigate the effects of obesity and exercise training on plasma adipocytokines a sample of 42 children (lean = 24, %BF = 17.8 +/- 7.5%; obese = 18; %BF = 29.1 +/- 9.3%; mean age = 12.4 +/- 1.9 yrs), were divided into ...
Differential effects of xanthine oxidase inhibition and exercise on albumin concentration in rat tissues
(2010)
Albumin is a protein present in almost all kinds of mammalian cells. It has binding sites for several molecules, and possesses antioxidant and other important properties. The aim of this study was to examine the effects ...
The role of obesity in the immune response during sepsis
(2014)
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Sepsis is one of the most important causes of mortality in the developed world, where almost two-thirds of the population suffer from obesity. Therefore, the coexistence of both conditions has become ...
