Plasticisers such as bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS), and phthalates (PAE) are commonly used in daily life in electronic equipment, cans, plastic food containers, and bottles. These substances can interact with oestrogen receptors as well as androgen receptors and therefore they are called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC). The aim of this study was to evaluate serum concentrations of BPA, BPS, and selected PAE in healthy women and women with polycystic ovary syndrome ...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age, that lead to infertility, type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease.Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most abundant chemicals produced worldwide and is used as a plasticizer in daily life. Nowadays it is also well know that it can interact with estrogen receptors, androgen receptors and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors γ (PPARγ). Therefore...

The aim of the study was to estimate thresholds of android fat mass and android to gynoid fat mass ratio at which metabolic disorders and blood pressure typical of metabolic syndrome appear. Classification and Regression Trees models were used to estimate these thresholds for glucose, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic and diastolic blood pressure.Methods: healthy postmenopausal women were recruited for the study. Blood samples were collected fo...

It is suggested that radioiodine therapy in hyperthyroidism can increase mortality because of cardiovascular diseases. To determine that fact we have evaluated how the levels of predictors of the cardiovascular risk in serum such as: glucose, insulin, total cholesterol and high-density cholesterol, low-density cholesterol and triglycerides as well as CRP, fibrinogen and D-dimers changed in hyperthyroidism cases before and 12 up to 16 and 24 up to 28 weeks after radioiodine the...

Objectives: SARS-Cov2 infection can lead to severe cytokine storm especially in obese patients. It is known that the cytokine storm might lead to severe clinical manifestations or even acute mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Ghrelin as well as leptin can act as the proinflammatory cytokines. The essential question is whether the cytokine storm in COVID-19 patients with obesity is associated with adipokines dysregulation.Aim: The st...
