The association of profilin-1 levels with survival in chronic kidney disease
(WILEY, 2017)
BackgroundProfilin-1 is a ubiquitous, actin-binding protein that plays an important role in the regulation of actin polymerization and cytoskeleton remodelling and contributes to vascular dysfunction. We conducted this ...
The relationship between visceral adipose tissue and intima-media thickness in patients with kidney disease
(A. CARBONE Editore, 2016)
Introduction: Increase in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with cardiovascular risk. However, the relationship between atherosclerosis and VAT has not yet been adequately studied in chronic kidney disease (CKD). ...
The effects of grape seed on apoptosis-related gene expression and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015)
Background: Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease. Emerging evidences indicate that many mechanistic pathways including apoptosis play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression ...
Nephrotoxic effects of varenicline as the most effective drug used for smoking cessation: a preliminary experimental study
(SPRINGER, 2015)
Varenicline is a new most effective drug for smoking cessation. Its effect on kidney functions remains unclear. This study purposed to investigate whether varenicline causes nephrotoxicity in rats. Fifteen rats were randomly ...
Blood Pressure and Age Are the Main Determinants of Aortic Stiffness
(KARGER, 2017)

Profilin-1 as a New Potential Biomarker on Diagnosis of Early Atherosclerosis in Hemodialysis Patients
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC-ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017)
…
IL-33 and ST2 levels in chronic kidney disease: Associations with inflammation, vascular abnormalities, cardiovascular events, and survival
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017)
Objective Increased inflammation, associated with the increase in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage, has a very important influence in vascular injury and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate ...
The effects of ozone therapy on caspase pathways, TNF-alpha, and HIF-1 alpha in diabetic nephropathy
(SPRINGER, 2016)
Accelerated apoptosis plays a vital role in the development of diabetic vascular complications. Ozone may attenuate diabetic nephropathy by means of decreased apoptosis-related genes. The aim of our study was to investigate ...
MicroRNA-125b as a new potential biomarker on diagnosis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2017)
Background: Acute renal failure is commonly seen in the perioperative period. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury plays a major role in acute renal failure and delayed graft function. MicroRNAs (miRs), which are pivotal ...
