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. ...
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 ...
Fructose transporter Glut5 expression in clear renal cell carcinoma
(Spandidos, 2010-12-10)
[Abstract] Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) can be subclassified for general purposes into clear cell, papillary cell, chromophobe cell carcinomas and oncocytomas. Other tumours such as collecting duct, medullary, mucinous ...
Glucose transporter expression and the potential role of fructose in renal cell carcinoma: a correlation with pathological parameters
(Spandidos, 2010-07-01)
[Abstract] All mammalian cells contain one or more members of the facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT) gene family. Glucose transporter membrane proteins (GLUT) regulate the movement of glucose between the extracellular ...
