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. ... -
Approved and off-label uses of obesity medications, and potential new pharmacologic treatment options
(MDPI, 2010-01-12)[Abstract] Available anti-obesity pharmacotherapy options remain very limited and development of more effective drugs has become a priority. The potential strategies to achieve weight loss are to reduce energy intake by ... -
Peritoneal total protein transport assessed from peritoneal equilibration tests using different dialysate glucose concentrations
(SAGE, 2010-09)[Abstract] Background: The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) permits assessment of peritoneal protein transport, but this potential marker of outcome in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lacks adequate standardization. ... -
Bronchial carcinoid and type 1 multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome: a case report
(Elsevier, 2010-10)[Abstract] Carcinoid tumours of bronchial origin are rare in type 1 multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN1) syndrome. The prevalence of histologically confirmed cases is approximately 5-8%, although in more recent studies it ... -
Ghrelin neutralization during fasting-refeeding cycle impairs the recuperation of body weight and alters hepatic energy metabolism
(Elsevier, 2011)[Abstract] Ghrelin, a hormone whose levels increase during food deprivation, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of food intake, energy metabolism and storage, as well as in insulin sensitivity. Here, we investigated ... -
Getting the right patient on the right renal replacement therapy
(Karger, 2012-05)[Abstract] Adequate selection of the modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT), ideally based on well-planned predialysis care, informed decision by the patient and timely initiation of dialysis, is essential to optimize ... -
Weight-related quality of life in spanish obese subjects suitable for bariatric surgery is lower than in their North American counterparts: a case–control study
(Springer, 2012-10-23)[Abstract] Background: Obesity impairs quality of life, but the perception of the impairment could be different from one country to another. The purpose was to compare weight-related quality of life (QOL) between cohorts ... -
Effect of dialysis modality and other prescription factors on peritoneal protein excretion in peritoneal dialysis
(Elsevier, 2012-11)[Abstract] Background: There is a deficit of information regarding the factors that influence peritoneal protein excretion (PPE) during PD therapy. In particular, the effects of the modality of PD and other conditions of ... -
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 ... -
Practical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of acromegaly
(Elsevier, 2013-10)[Abstract] Acromegaly and gigantism are due to excess GH secretion, usually by a pituitary adenoma. It is an uncommon disease. Diagnosis is made by showing elevated GH and IGF-I levels in patients with a clinical picture ... -
Resultados del trabajo cooperativo de los registros españoles de diálisis peritoneal: análisis de 12 años de seguimiento
(Sociedad Española de Nefrología, 2014)[Resumen] Introducción y objetivos: Actualmente no existe un registro que muestre en su conjunto y globalidad la realidad de la diálisis peritoneal (DP) en España. Sin embargo, para distintos congresos y reuniones se ha ... -
Importance of exercise in the control of metabolic and inflammatory parameters at the moment of onset in type 1 diabetic subjects
(Thieme, 2014-05-05)[Abstract] The onset of type 1 diabetes coincides with the final phase of β-cell destruction. In some cases, this period is characterized by the presence of a functional reserve of β-cells, favouring an adequate metabolic ... -
Compared decline of residual kidney function in patients treated with automated peritoneal dialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: a multicenter study
(Karger, 2015-01-08)[Abstract] BACKGROUND: There is controversy concerning the compared rates of decline of residual kidney function (RKF) in patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and automated peritoneal ... -
Cost-effectiveness analysis of preoperative treatment of acromegaly with somatostatin analogue on surgical outcome
(Elsevier, 2015-08-20)[Abstract] Context. There is no uniform standard of care for acromegaly. Due to the high costs involved, steps must be taken to ensure the cost-effective delivery of treatment. Objective. Taking the results of an earlier ... -
Influence of Age on Rat Bone-Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Potential
(Nature, 2015-11-19)[Abstract] Mesenchymal stem cells promising role in cell-based therapies and tissue engineering appears to be limited due to a decline of their regenerative potential with increasing donor age. Six age groups from bone ... -
