transforming growth factor β1 (tgf-β1) in the sera of postmenopausal osteoporotic females
conclusions our study demonstrated that tgf-β1 serum levels is higher in osteoporotic postmenopausal females than non-osteoporotic ones, and probably aberrant increase in tgf-β1 in postmenopausal females can result in uncoupled bone resorption and formation, which leads to osteoporosis. background postmenopausal osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity in postmenopausal females. transforming ...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor β1 (TGF-β1) in the Sera of Postmenopausal Osteoporotic Females
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity in postmenopausal females. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin 18 (IL-18) play complex roles in normal bone metabolism, and in pathophysiology of postmenopausal osteoporosis. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to design an analytic cross sectional study in order to further clarify the role of TGF-β1 and ...
متن کاملTGF-β1 (Transforming Growth Factor-β1) Plays a Pivotal Role in Cardiac Myofibroblast Arrhythmogenicity.
BACKGROUND TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor-β1) importantly contributes to cardiac fibrosis by controlling differentiation, migration, and collagen secretion of cardiac myofibroblasts. It is still elusive, however, to which extent TGF-β1 alters the electrophysiological phenotype of myofibroblasts and cardiomyocytes and whether it affects proarrhythmic myofibroblast-cardiomyocyte crosstalk obs...
متن کاملThe Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) Gene Polymorphisms (TGF-β1 T869C and TGF-β1 T29C) and Susceptibility to Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to integrate all the eligible studies and investigate whether the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) gene polymorphisms (TGF-β1 T869C and TGF-β1 T29C) are correlated with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) risk. PMOP is a common skeletal disease and several genetic factors play an important role in the development and progression of PMOP. Signific...
متن کاملEffect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture
Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...
