Serum levels of anti-alphaGalactosyl antibodies predict survival and peritoneal dialysis-related enteric peritonitis rates in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy
(Elsevier, 2006-11-06)[Abstract] Background: Anti-Galα1-3Gal antibodies (anti-αGal) represent a significant fraction of natural antibodies and were implicated in several disease states, yet their origin and physiological significance remain ... -
Prostate carcinoma and stem cells
(Springer, 2007-02)[Abstract] Stem cells, as classically defined, are cells with a capacity to self-renew and to generate daughter cells that can differentiate down several cell lineages to form all of the cell types that are found in the ... -
Cutaneous lesions associated to multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1
(Wiley, 2008)[Abstract] Background Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a genetic disease that predisposes to endocrine tumour development. Some cutaneous lesions (angiofibromas, collagenomas, melanosis guttaca, lipomas, ... -
Tratamiento quirúrgico de la obesidad: recomendaciones prácticas basadas en la evidencia
(Elsevier, 2008)[Resumen] La obesidad mórbida es, habitualmente, refractaria a los tratamientos convencionales, por lo que la modificación de hábitos dietéticos y de actividad física y/o el uso de fármacos consiguen pérdidas de peso ... -
Bioinformatics approach to mRNA markers discovery for detection of circulating tumor cells in patients with gastrointestinal cancer
(Elsevier, 2008)[Abstract] Background: Detection of tumor cells in the blood, or minimal deposits in distant organs as bone marrow, could be important to identify cancer patients at high risk of relapse or disease progression. Quantitative ... -
Respuesta secretora de PYY1-36 y PYY3-36 en sujetos normales tras la ingesta de una comida mixta
(Elsevier para Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, 2008-12-25)[Resumen] Introducción. El péptido YY (PYY) tiene 36 aminoácidos y lo sintetizan fundamentalmente las células L del intestino. El PYY aumenta tras las comidas y alcanza su nadir tras el ayuno. Tras la ingestión se liberan ... -
Ghrelin and growth hormone secretagogues, physiological and pharmacological aspect
(Bentham Science, 2009)[Abstract] The first “growth hormone secretagogues” (GHSs) were discovered by Bowers et al. in 1977. In 1996 the GHSs receptor (GHS-R 1a) was cloned. The endogenous ligand for this receptor, ghrelin, was not identified ... -
Diagnostic accuracy of small breast epithelial mucin mRNA as a marker for bone marrow micrometastasis in breast cancer: a pilot study
(Springer-Verlag, 2009-02-17)[Abstract] Background. Detection of isolated tumour cells (ITC) in the blood or minimal deposits in distant organs such as bone marrow (BM) could be important to identify breast cancer patients at high risk of relapse or ... -
Fasting and postprandial plasma ghrelin levels are decreased in patients with liver failure previous to liver transplantation
(Spirnger, 2009-04-11)[Abstract] Anorexia is a problem of paramount importance in patients with advanced liver failure. Ghrelin has important actions on feeding and weight homeostasis. Concentrations of ghrelin are controversial in liver ... -
Regulation of visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor by nutritional status, metformin, gender and pituitary factors in rat white adipose tissue
(John Wiley & Sons, 2009-07-14)[Abstract] Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin) is a recently discovered adipocytokine mainly secreted from visceral adipose tissue, which plays a main role in insulin sensitivity. In this ... -
Comprehensive lung injury pathology induced by mTOR inhibitors
(Springer para Federation of Spanish Oncology Sociesties (FESEO), 2009-08-29)[Abstract] Interstitial lung disease is a rare side effect of temsirolimus treatment in renal cancer patients. Pulmonary fibrosis is characterised by the accumulation of extracellular matrix collagen, fibroblast proliferation ... -
Central ghrelin regulates peripheral lipid metabolism in a growth hormone-independent fashion
(Oxford para Endocrine Society, 2009-10-01)[Abstract] GH plays a major role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and alterations in GH axis elicit major changes in fat distribution and mobilization. For example, in patients with GH deficiency (GHD) or in mice ... -
Effect of ghrelin on glucose-insulin homeostasis: therapeutic implications
(Hindawi, 2010)[Abstract] Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid peptide that displays a strong growth hormone- (GH-) releasing activity through the activation of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). The first studies about role of ghrelin ... -
Peritoneal protein transport during the baseline peritoneal equilibration test is an accurate predictor of the outcome of peritoneal dialysis patients
(Karger, 2010)[Abstract] Background: Peritoneal protein excretion (PPE) is a potential marker of the outcome in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Method: Observational study of a cohort of 269 patients starting PD in a single unit. ... -
The decreased growth hormone response to growth hormone releasing hormone in obesity is associated to cardiometabolic risk factors
(Hindawi, 2010)[Abstract] The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between GHRH-induced GH secretion in obese premenopausal women and cardiovascular risk markers or insulin resistance. Premenopausal obese women, aged ... -
Altered fasting and postprandial plasma ghrelin levels in patients with liver failure are normalized after liver transplantation
(Bioscientifica para European Society for Endocrinology, 2010)[Abstract] Context Anorexia is a problem of paramount importance in patients with advanced liver failure. Ghrelin has important actions on feeding and weight homeostasis. Experimental data exist, which suggest that ghrelin ... -
Influence of ghrelin and growth hormone deficiency on AMP-activated protein kinase and hypothalamic lipid metabolism
(Wiley, 2010-03-08)[Abstract] Current evidence demonstrates that the stomach-derived hormone ghrelin, a potent growth hormone (GH) secretagogue, promotes feeding through a mechanism involving the short-term activation of hypothalamic ... -
Potential role of sugar transporters in cancer and their relationship with anticancer therapy
(Hindawi, 2010-06-20)[Abstract] Sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, are the main energy source of cells. Because of their hydrophilic nature, cells use a number of transporter proteins to introduce sugars through their plasma membrane. ...
