GDF-15 plasma levels in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are associated with subclinical coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), a cytokine associated with cardiovascular mortality, increases during chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations, but any role in stable COPD is unknown. We tested associations between GDF-15 and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, assessed by coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, in COPD subjects free of clinical cardiovasc...
متن کاملPseudoexfoliative syndrome and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma in Primorsko-Goranska County.
The aim of this study is to evaluate pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEX) in Primorsko-Goranska County, Croatia, and its characteristics comparing to primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). In the study a hundred patients with open angle glaucoma were examined, twenty six of them had a pseudoexfoliative glaucoma diagnosed. We were following intraocular pressure (IOP) values, visual acuities, visual fie...
متن کاملEffect of Aerobic and Resistance Training on GDF-15 Levels in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes
Background and purpose: Increasing prevalence of diabetes and its complications, including cardiovascular problems increase the cost of health care which could be diminished with proper planning to change lifestyle. The present study investigated the effect of aerobic and resistance trainings on blood GDF15 level as a protective marker on cardiovascular cells in patients with type 1 diabetes. ...
متن کاملSerum Homocysteine Levels in Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma and Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Purpose: To compare the serum homocysteine (Hcy) level in healthy control individuals and in patient with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG) Methods: In this cross sectional study, 79 subjects including 36 patients with PEXG, 23 patients with POAG, and 20 matched healthy control individuals were recruited. Those who used alcohol and mediations affecting Hcy...
متن کاملGrowth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15) Plasma Levels Increase during Bleomycin- and Cisplatin-Based Treatment of Testicular Cancer Patients and Relate to Endothelial Damage
INTRODUCTION Chemotherapy-related endothelial damage contributes to the early development of cardiovascular morbidity in testicular cancer patients. We aimed to identify relevant mechanisms of and search for candidate biomarkers for this endothelial damage. METHODS Human micro-vascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) were exposed to bleomycin or cisplatin with untreated samples as control. 18k cDN...
