Serum Levels of Anticyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies, Interleukin‐6, Tumor Necrosis Factor‐α, and C‐Reactive Protein Are Associated with Increased Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis of a Cohort of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients without Cardiovascular Risk Factors

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The main cause of death in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is cardiovascular events. We evaluated the relationship of anticyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibody levels with increased carotid intima‐media thickness (cIMT) in RA patients. Methods. Forty‐five anti‐CCP positive and 37 anti‐CCP negative RA patients, and 62 healthy controls (HC) were ...

The Impact of LEP G‐2548A and LEPR Gln223Arg Polymorphisms on Adiposity, Leptin, and Leptin‐Receptor Serum Levels in a Mexican Mestizo Population

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The polymorphisms in leptin (LEP G‐2548A) and leptin‐receptor (LEPR Gln223Arg) seem to influence obesity and lipid metabolism among others. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of these polymorphisms on adiposity, leptin (sLeptin), and leptin‐receptor (sLeptin‐receptor) serum concentrations as well as inflammation markers.

Low Levels of CD36 in Peripheral Blood Monocytes in Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross‐Sectional Study in a Mexican Population

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a higher risk for atherosclerosis. There is no clinical information about scavenger receptor CD36 and the development of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with RA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between membrane expression of CD36 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and ...

The −174G/C and −572G/C Interleukin 6 Promoter Gene Polymorphisms in Mexican Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case‐Control Study

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Objective. There is a lack of information about the genotype frequencies of IL‐6 −174G/C and −572G/C polymorphisms in Mexicans with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the IL‐6 −174G/C and −572G/C polymorphisms in Mexican mestizo with RA. Methods.

Tumor Necrosis Factor‐Alpha Gene Promoter −308G/A and −238G/A Polymorphisms in Mexican Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

open access: yesDisease Markers, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 19-24, 2011., 2011
The association between some Tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) promoter polymorphisms and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains controversial. Ethnic differences may play a role in these conflicting results. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between −308G/A and −238G/A polymorphisms located in the promoter region of the TNF‐α

Interleukin‐6 Gene Promoter Polymorphisms and Cardiovascular Risk Factors. A family study

open access: yesDisease Markers, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 29-36, 2010., 2010
Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is a cytokine involved in inflammatory process, as well as in glucose and lipid metabolism. Several studies of the biological relevance of IL‐6 gene polymorphisms have indicated a relationship with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to assess whether the –174 G/C and –572 G/C of IL‐6 gene polymorphisms are associated

Expression of ICAM1 and VCAM1 Serum Levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Activity. Association with Genetic Polymorphisms

open access: yesDisease Markers, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 119-126, 2009., 2009
To investigate the association of sICAM‐1 and sVCAM‐1 with ICAM1 721G>A and VCAM1 1238G>C polymorphisms and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) clinical activity, sixty RA patients and 60 healthy non‐related subjects (HS) matched for age and sex were recruited. Soluble adhesion molecules were determined by ELISA technique.
