Plasma Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Concentration is Increased in Hemodialysis Patients and May Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Coronary Heart Disease
(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
(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 Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase and Arginase Type I May Contribute to Decreased Blood T-Cell Count in Hemodialysis Patients
(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, ...
Serum osteoprotegerin is markedly increased and may contribute to decreased blood T cell count in hemodialysis patients
(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 ...
