Adipokines, inflammatory mediators, and insulin-resistance parameters may not be good markers of metabolic syndrome after liver transplant.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: The role of adipokines in liver transplantation (LTx) recipients who have metabolic syndrome (MetS) has seldom been assessed. The aim of this study was to investigate the concentrations of adipokines, inflammatory mediators, and insulin-re...

Exposure to fipronil elevates systolic blood pressure and disturbs related biomarkers in plasma of rats.

Environmental toxicology and pharmacology
Recent reports show that fipronil affects non-target organisms, including environmental species populations and potentially humans. We aimed to examine if fipronil exposure affects the systolic blood pressure and related biomarkers. Thus, fipronil wa...

Heat shock protein A12B protects against sepsis-induced impairment in vascular endothelial permeability.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: As a common and life-threatening infectious syndrome, sepsis contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in clinical settings. Vascular endothelial injury and hyperpermeability play an important role in the development of sepsis-...

Nanocomposites of gold nanoparticles and graphene oxide towards an stable label-free electrochemical immunosensor for detection of cardiac marker troponin-I.

Analytica chimica acta
A stable label-free amperometric immunosensor is presented based on gold nanoparticles and graphene oxide nanocomposites for detection of cardiac troponin-I in the early diagnosis of myocardial infarction. For designing of the sensing platform, first...

A randomized-controlled clinical trial investigating the effect of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E co-supplementation on markers of insulin metabolism and lipid profiles in gestational diabetes.

Journal of clinical lipidology
BACKGROUND: Limited data are available that evaluated the effects of combined omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E supplementation on glucose homeostasis parameters and lipid concentrations in gestational diabetes (GDM).

Dietary pattern, serum magnesium, ferritin, C-reactive protein and anaemia among older people.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Epidemiological data of dietary patterns and anaemia among older Chinese remains extremely scarce. We examined the association between dietary patterns and anaemia in older Chinese, and to assess whether biomarkers of serum magnesi...

The predictive value of soluble endothelial selectin plasma levels in children with acute lung injury.

Journal of critical care
UNLABELLED: The study aimed to evaluate the value of soluble endothelial selectin (sE-selectin) plasma level measurement in predicting acute lung injury (ALI) outcome in children.

Renal impairment and outcome in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

The American journal of emergency medicine
OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to ascertain the prevalence of renal impairment among patients with a takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) episode and whether clinical outcomes are related to renal function.

Modified citrus pectin stops progression of liver fibrosis by inhibiting galectin-3 and inducing apoptosis of stellate cells.

Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology
Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is a pH modified form of the dietary soluble citrus peel fiber known as pectin. The current study aims at testing its effect on liver fibrosis progression. Rats were injected with CCl4 (1 mL/kg, 40% v/v, i.p., twice a wee...

The effects of a low-carbohydrate diet on appetite: A randomized controlled trial.

Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The relationship between dietary macronutrient composition and appetite is controversial. We examined the effects of a year-long low-carbohydrate diet compared to a low-fat diet on appetite-related hormones and self-reported chan...
