Raquitismo hipofosfatémico ligado al cromosoma X: a propósito de un caso

Introducción: el raquitismo se caracteriza por una alteración en la mineralización normal del tejido óseo y, según la causa, se clasifica en formas adquiridas o hereditarias. De los raquitismos hereditarios, el raquitismo hipofosfatémico ligado al cromosoma X es el más común. Se dis...

Effects of an interdisciplinary weight loss program on fibroblast growth factor 21 and inflammatory biomarkers in women with overweight and obesity

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the effects of an interdisciplinary intervention on biomarkers of inflammation and their relationship with fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) concentrations in women with overweight and obesity. Subjects and methods: Thirty-one women were enrolled in a 12-week interd...

Ulmoplus® increases FGF-2 expression and promote burn wound healing

Int. j. morphol; 39 (6), 2021
SUMMARY: The role of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in the wound repair process has been described, particularly during the stimulation of angiogenesis in the proliferative phase. Ulmo honey (Eucryphia cordifolia) has demonstrated important bactericidal, fungicidal, antioxidant and healing properties. Ul...

Association between fibroblast growth factor 23 and functional capacity among independent elderly individuals

ABSTRACT Objective To examine the association of between serum fibroblast growth factor 23 and the functional capacity among independent individuals, aged 80 or older. Methods The functional capacity of 144 elderly was assessed by Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, cognitive tests, handgrip str...

Calcinosis cutis congénita tumoral asociada con encefalopatía epiléptica infantil temprana con variante patogénica en el gen FGF12

Resumen Introducción: La calcinosis cutis es el depósito de sales insolubles de calcio en la piel y se clasifica, de acuerdo con su patogénesis, en distrófica, metastásica, idiopática, iatrogénica y calcifilaxis. La calcinosis idiopática se presenta en pacientes sanos y es asintomática; incluye...

Higher increase degree of FGF21 post long-term interdisciplinary weight loss therapy preserves the free fat mass and rest metabolic rate in adolescents with obesity

ABSTRACT Objective Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is among the activators that can stimulate thermogenesis in the white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. People with obesity have elevated blood levels of FGF21, but also develop resistance to its action, impairing its beneficial role. Invers...

Mineral bone disorder and osteoporosis in hemodialysis patients

Adv Rheumatol; 60 (), 2020
Abstract Background: Bone disease is common in patients undergoing hemodialysis. It is the result of bone turnover abnormalities and the decrease of bone mineral density (BMD). We aimed to determine the usefulness of serum bone turnover markers and BMD measurement by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DX...

Rol de la osteocalcina más allá del hueso
Role of osteocalcin beyond bone

Actual. osteol; 15 (2), 2019
Los hallazgos osteológicos se intensi!caron en los últimos años. Se demostró que el esqueleto se comporta, además de sus funciones clásicas, como un órgano de secreción endocrina que sintetiza al menos dos hormonas: el factor de crecimiento de !broblastos 23 (FGF-23) y la osteocalcina (Ocn). La O...

Fasting insulin and alanine amino transferase, but not FGF21, were independent parameters related with irisin increment after intensive aerobic exercising

Rev. invest. clín; 71 (2), 2019
Abstract Background Irisin is a protein cleaved from fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 and has been implicated in the beneficial effects of exercise. However, it is unknown which factors contribute to irisin increment after intensive exercising in humans. This study aimed to assess indepe...

DNA hypermethylation of Fgf16 and Tbx22 associated with cleft palate during palatal fusion

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective: Cleft palate (CP) is a congenital birth defect caused by the failure of palatal fusion. Little is known about the potential role of DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of CP. This study aimed to explore the potential role of DNA methylation in the mechanism of CP. Methodology: We es...
