    • Arginase type I as a marker of coronary heart disease in hemodialysis patients 

      Eleftheriadis, T.; Liakopoulos, V.; Antoniadi, G.; Stefanidis, I.; Galaktidou, G. (2011)
      Cardiovascular disease, and mainly coronary heart disease (CHD), is the leading cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Non-traditional risk factors may play an important role in this population. Arginase is known ...

    • Effects of obstructive sleep apnea severity on serum lipid levels in Greek children with snoring 

      Alexopoulos, E. I.; Gletsou, E.; Kostadima, E.; Kaditis, D.; Zakynthinos, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. (2011)
