A non-secreting pituitary adenoma that changed to a prolactinoma
(MDPI, 2024-07-04)[Abstract] Pituitary adenomas (PAs) are the third most common brain tumors in adults right after meningiomas and gliomas. Taking into account their hormonal activity in vivo, they can be divided in functioning PAs, which ... -
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 ... -
Análisis del transporte peritoneal de potasio mediante pruebas de equilibrio peritoneal con diferentes concentraciones de glucosa
(Sociedad Española de Nefrología, 2010)[Resumen] Introducción: El conocimiento de los factores que determinan el transporte peritoneal de potasio en diálisis peritoneal (DP) es incompleto. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron comparar el transporte peritoneal ... -

Association of urinary excretion rates of uric acid with biomarkers of kidney injury in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
(PLoS One, 2024-06-11)[Abstract] Background: The potential influence of hyperuricemia on the genesis and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. In general, the correlation between blood levels of uric acid (UA) ... -
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 ... -
Categorization of sodium sieving by 2.27% and 3.86% peritoneal equilibration tests: a comparative analysis in the clinical setting
(Oxford University Press, 2009-07-01)[Abstract] Background: Analysis of the dialysate sodium concentration during a peritoneal equilibration test (PET) provides information on the rates of water and solute transport through different membrane pathways. A ... -
Cellular distribution, regulated expression, and functional role of the anorexigenic peptide, NUCB2/nesfatin-1, in the testis
(Oxford Academic, 2012-02-14)[Abstract] Nesfatin-1, product of the precursor NEFA/nucleobindin2 (NUCB2), was initially identified as anorectic hypothalamic neuropeptide, acting in a leptin-independent manner. In addition to its central role in the ... -
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 ...
