Increased telomere attrition following renal transplantation: impact of anti-metabolite therapy [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The uremic milieu exposes chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients to premature ageing processes. The impact of renal replacement therapy (dialysis and renal transplantation [RTx]) or immunosuppressive treatment regimens on ageing biomarkers has

A first‐trimester mechanistic framework integrating three Physiopathologic biomarker domains for pre‐eclampsia classification

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To develop and internally validate a mechanistic, three‐domain framework for early classification and prediction of pre‐eclampsia (PE) using first‐trimester angiogenic, uteroplacental, and maternal vascular biomarkers. Methods In a prospective cohort of 1925 singleton pregnancies screened at 11 to 13.6 weeks, placental growth factor (

Insulin Resistance: An Update on Biochemical and Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Impact on Various Diseases

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insulin resistance is the biological phenomenon in which the human body's normal response to the metabolic hormone insulin is compromised. Insulin is a regulator of most of the essential metabolic steps in the body that control energy homoeostasis, so dysregulation leads to multiple diverse human diseases including, most prominently, Type 2 ...
