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 ... -
Altered GH-IGF-1 Axis in Severe Obese Subjects is Reversed after Bariatric Surgery-Induced Weight Loss and Related with Low-Grade Chronic Inflammation
(MDPI, 2020-08-12)[Abstract] Endocrine disorders are common in obesity, including altered somatotropic axis. Obesity is characterized by reduced growth hormone (GH) secretion, although the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) values are ... -
Analysis of ultrafiltration failure diagnosed at the initiation of peritoneal dialysis with the help of peritoneal equilibration tests with complete drainage at sixty minutes: a longitudinal study
(SAGE, 2016-01-13)[Abstract] Background: Ultrafiltration failure (UFF) diagnosed at the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been insufficiently characterized. In particular, few longitudinal studies have analyzed the time course of ... -

Baseline residual kidney function and its ensuing rate of decline interact to predict mortality of peritoneal dialysis patients
(PLOS, 2016-07-08)[Abstract] Background. Baseline residual kidney function (RKF) and its rate of decline during follow-up are purported to be reliable outcome predictors of patients undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis (PD). The independent ... -
Beneficial effects of bariatric surgery-induced by weight loss on the proteome of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue
(MDPI, 2020-01-13)[Abstract] Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective treatment for obesity and has a positive impact on cardiometabolic risk and in the remission of type 2 diabetes. Following BS, the majority of fat mass is lost from ... -
Beneficios y riesgos de la hormona del crecimiento en adultos con déficit de la misma
(Elsevier, 2014-01-28)[Resumen] La deficiencia de hormona del crecimiento («growth hormone», GH) en el adulto es un síndrome clínico plenamente reconocido que entraña consecuencias adversas para la salud. Muchas de ellas pueden ser mejoradas ... -
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 ... -
Cabazitaxel for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: safety data from the Spanish expanded access program
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-07-07)[Abstract] BACKGROUND: Based on the TROPIC study results, cabazitaxel was approved for the management of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) progressing on or after docetaxel. METHODS: This multi-centre ... -
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 ... -
Central Resistance to Thyroid Hormones in Morbidly Obese Subjects is Reversed after Bariatric Surgery-Induced Weight Loss
(MDPI, 2020-01-28)[Abstract] Endocrine abnormalities are common in obesity, including altered thyroid function. The altered thyroid function of obesity may be due to a mild acquired resistance to the thyroid hormone. The aim of this study ... -
Changes in hypothalamic expression of the Lin28/let-7 system and related MicroRNAs during postnatal maturation and after experimental manipulations of puberty
(Endocrine Society, 2013)[Abstract] Lin28 and Lin28b are related RNA-binding proteins that inhibit the maturation of miRNAs of the let-7 family and participate in the control of cellular stemness and early embryonic development. Considerable ... -
Circulating angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 activity in patients with chronic kidney disease without previous history of cardiovascular disease
(Oxford, 2015-03-26)[Abstract] Background. Patients with cardiovascular (CV) disease have an increased circulating angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activity, but there is little information about changes in ACE2 in chronic kidney disease ... -
Circulating levels of irisin in hypopituitary and normal subjects
(PLoS ONE, 2016-07-29)[Abstract] Context. The recently identified myokine irisin conveys some of the benefits of exercise. Hypopituitarism with adult growth hormone deficiency (HP) is a situation characterized by decreased GH secretion and an ... -
Circulating microRNAs: molecular microsensors in gastrointestinal cancer
(MPDI, 2012-07-09)[Abstract] MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small molecules of single strand non-coding RNAs, which are able to regulate gene expression. miRNAs have been involved in multiple cellular processes, such as proliferation, apoptosis and ... -
Circulating miR-200c and miR-141 and outcomes in patients with breast cancer
(BioMed Central, 2015)[Abstract] Background. The deregulation of microRNAs in both tumours and blood has led to the search for microRNAs to indicate the presence of cancer and predict prognosis. We hypothesize the deregulation of miR-200c/miR-141 ... -
Clinical implications of epithelial cell plasticity in cancer progression
(Elsevier, 2015)[Abstract] In the last few years, the role of epithelial cell plasticity in cancer biology research has gained increasing attention. This concept refers to the ability of the epithelial cells to dynamically switch between ... -
Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of acromegaly
(Hindawi, 2012)[Abstract] Acromegaly and gigantism are due to excess GH production, usually as a result of a pituitary adenoma. The incidence of acromegaly is 5 cases per million per year and the prevalence is 60 cases per million. ...
