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 ...
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 ...
Inverse Association of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D With Markers of Inflammation and Suppression of Osteoclastic Activity in Hemodialysis Patients
(2012)
Introduction. In hemodialysis patients, 25-hydroxyvitamin D conversion to active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D by the kidneys is very limited. The expression of both vitamin D receptor and 1 alpha-hydroxylase in cells of the ...
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 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, ...
