Factor de crecimiento análogo a insulina-1 y cardiotrofina-1 inducido por ejercicio y su relación con hipertrofia miocárdica en maratonistas

Rev. chil. cardiol; 42 (2), 2023
Antecedentes: El ejercicio de alta intensidad induce hipertrofia miocárdica necesaria para adaptar al corazón a la mayor demanda de trabajo. Se desconoce si correr una maratón induce de forma aguda factores humorales asociados al desarrollo de hipertrofia miocárdica en atletas. Objetivo: Evaluar card...

High-intensity interval training (treadmill) effects in myokines and endoplasmic reticulum stress of calf muscles in obese mice

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Obesity is commonly associated with chronic tissue inflammation and skeletal muscle dysfunction. The study aimed to investigate the effects of High-Intensity Interval training (HIIT) on myokines and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress of diet- induced obese (DIO) mice. Three-month-old C57BL/6 male...

La inflamación como el nexo entre la enfermedad periodontal y la enfermedad cardiovascular
Inflammation as a link between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease

La periodontitis es una enfermedad no transmisible, con una alta prevalencia, que oscila entre el 45% y el 50% de la población mundial, ocupando el sexto lugar entre las enfermedades más frecuentes de la huma-nidad. Existe suficiente evidencia que avala la relación entre la enfermedad periodontal y la...

Otro desafío de la naturaleza: el nuevo coronavirus virología y fisiopatología del SARS-COV-2

The recent outbreak of emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) has been brought to global attention in the search of knowledge about the virus and its pathogenesis. The immune response is essential to control and eliminate the infection, however, maladjust...

Preliminary findings on the possible role of B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) on diabetes-related periodontitis

Abstract The possible role of B-cell growth and differentiation-related cytokines on the pathogenesis of diabetes-related periodontitis has not been addressed so far. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the gene expression of proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL...

Expression of dNK cells and their cytokines in twin pregnancies with preeclampsia

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: To assess the expression of decidual natural killer (dNK) cells and their cytokines in twin pregnancies with preeclampsia. METHODS: This was a prospective case-control study. The inclusion criteria were diamniotic (monochorionic or dichorionic) twin pregnancies in the third trimester with ne...

The role of visfatin levels in gingival crevicular fluid as a potential biomarker in the relationship between obesity and periodontal disease

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objectives Visfatin is an adipokine that plays an important role in immune functions as a growth factor, enzyme, and pro-inflammatory mediator. We aimed to determine the levels of visfatin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in ...

Etiologic role of root canal infection in apical periodontitis and its relationship with clinical symptomatology

Braz. oral res. (Online); 32 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract: Evidence shows the polymicrobial etiology of endodontic infections, in which bacteria and their products are the main agents for the development, progression, and dissemination of apical periodontitis. Microbial factors in necrotic root canals (e.g., endotoxin) may spread into apical tissue, ev...

Three-dimensional structure and cytokine distribution of platelet-rich fibrin

Clinics; 72 (2), 2017
OBJECTIVES: Previous reports have revealed that several cytokines (including platelet-derived growth factor-BB, transforming growth factors-β1 and insulin-like growth factor-1) can enhance the rate of bone formation and synthesis of extracellular matrix in orthopaedics or periodontology. This study ...

Omentina: papel en la resistencia a la insulina, inflamación y protección cardiovascular

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 86 (3), 2016
La omentina es una nueva adipocina a la que se le ha atribuido la capacidad de regular actividades metabólicas (sensibilidad a la insulina) y antiinflamatorias, ofreciendo protección cardiovascular en la obesidad y diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Por lo anterior, es importante conocer los mecanismos a travé...
