Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in inflammatory bowel disease: association with pathophysiology of inflammation, established markers, and disease activity
(2012)
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a multi-potent 25-kDa protein mainly secreted by neutrophils. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), overexpression of NGAL in colon epithelium has been previously shown. ...
Drug-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
(2011)
Conservative management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is based on a combination of drugs, including amino-salicylates (ASAs), steroids, antibiotics, immunosuppressives and biologic agents. Although various side effects ...
VEGF increases the permeability of sheep pleura ex vivo through VEGFR2 stimulation
(2014)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine that increases vascular permeability to water and proteins and induces angiogenesis, has been implicated in the development of pleural effusions. Inflammatory and ...
Does hepcidin affect erythropoiesis in hemodialysis patients?
(2006)
Introduction: Prohepcidin is the precursor of hepcidin, a liver-derived peptide involved in iron metabolism by blocking its intestinal absorption and its release by the reticuloendothelial system. Iron overload and ...
Increased Plasma Angiogenin Level is Associated and May Contribute to Decreased T-Cell Zeta-Chain Expression in Hemodialysis Patients
(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 ...
Plasma Angiogenin and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A Among Hemodialysis Patients
(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 ...
Hepatitis E virus antibodies in hemodialysis patients: An epidemiological survey in central Greece
(2004)
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent for enteric non-A, non-B hepatitis. Transmission is mainly via the fecal-oral route but the possibility of an additional parenteric transmission has been raised. Patients ...
Nocturnal hypertension is associated with an exacerbation of the endothelial damage in preeclampsia
(2008)
Background: Non-dipping pattern of circadian blood pressure in preeclampsia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The pathogenetic mechanisms of this relationship are still unclear. We investigated ...
Melatonin secretion is impaired in women with preeclampsia and an abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm
(2014)
Non-dipping circadian blood pressure (BP) is a common finding in preeclampsia, accompanied by adverse outcomes. Melatonin plays pivotal role in biological circadian rhythms. This study investigated the relationship between ...
