Klotho and Endothelin-1 in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome and Glaucoma.
(2016)
Klotho is a newly discovered protein that presumably has an important role in the aging process. The goal of this research is to compare the levels of Klotho and Endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the serum and aqueous humor of patients ...
The effect of Helicobacter pylori treatment on remission of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy.
(2011)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) treatment on remission of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy.Twenty-five patients with idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy ...
Oxidative DNA damage and total antioxidant status in glaucoma patients.
(2011)
To evaluate DNA damage markers and the antioxidant status of serum and aqueous humor in glaucoma patients.Aqueous humor and serum samples were obtained at the time of surgery from 28 patients with glaucoma and 27 patients ...
The effect of red grape seed extract on serum paraoxonase activity in patients with mild to moderate hyperlipidemia [O efeito do extrato de semente de uva vermelha na atividade do soro paraoxonase em doentes com hiperlipidemia leve a moderada]
(2016)
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Red grape seed extract (RGSE) contains oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes as a class of flavonoids. These compounds are potent antioxidants and exert many health-promoting effects. This study aimed ...
Plasma oxidized LDL and thiol-containing molecules in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration.
(2010)
It was proposed that total thiols (tSH) as powerful reducing agents and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL) may be associated with development of choroidal neovascularization in exudative age-related macular degeneration ...
Relationship between vitamin D receptor gene FokI and ApaI polymorphisms and serum levels of fetuin-A, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone in patients on hemodialysis
(2014)
Introduction. Low fetuin-A and 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D) levels accompanied with high intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) contents are associated with cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients. The aim of present ...
Influence of chemotherapy on the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
(2012)
Chemotherapeutic agents used in patients with cancer cause to generate the enormous amounts of free radicals associated with cell injury. In this study we assess the effects of chemotherapy regimen on oxidant/antioxidant ...
Growth Arrest-specific 6 Protein and Matrix Gla Protein in Hemodialysis Patients.
(2015)
Plasma protein growth arrest-specific 6 (GAS6) and matrix Gla protein (MGP) are crucial mediators of vascular calcification and are involved in the development of vascular complications in chronic kidney diseases. This ...
Aqueous humor hepcidin prohormone levels in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
(2010)
This study was designed to evaluate the levels of Interleukin-6 (IL6) and Hepcidin prohormone (Hep) in the serum and aqueous humor of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), as well as those with senile cataract ...
Serum Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-? B Ligand, Osteoprotegrin, and Intact Parathyroid Hormone in Hemodialysis and Renal Transplant Patients
(2012)
Serum receptor activator of nuclear factor-? B ligand and osteoprotegrin are mediated to vascular calcification in the general population. Our knowledge is very sparse in hemodialysis and renal transplant patients. Receptor ...
