The aim of the study was the analysis of dependencies between sex hormones and metabolic syndrome.Forty-five women with metabolic syndrome and 49 healthy women were examined.The diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome: waistline ≥80 cm, waistline/hips index WHI≥0.85 and also having 1 or 2 cardiovascular risk factors: glucose≥100 mg%, RR≥130/80, HDL< 50mg% and TG≥150 mg%.The...

The aim of the work was the analysis of dependencies between sex hormones and functioning of endothelium in women in the climacteric period with metabolic syndrome.Fifty-three women with metabolic syndrome and 45 healthy women were examined.Lipidogram (LDL: cholesterol-LDL, HDL: cholesterol-HDL), triglycerides(TG) and fasting glucose levels were determined. Body mass index BMI and waistline/hips index (WHI) were calculated.<p c...

Acute pancreatitis is a real medical problem with high patients mortality. Pathogenic interdependence between pancreas follicles function and islet endocrine secretion is under research. PP cells are pancreatic polypeptide (PP) producing cells, they determine about 1% islets, but their function is not completely known yet. Vagus nerve and peptidergic stimulation regulates PP secretion.The aim of study was to estimate cerulein induced pancreatitis effects...

Aim of the study was to evaluate influence of potassium iodide on hormonal thyroid function.In medicine there are widely used medias with large, overphysiologic doses of iodine for both treatment and diagnosis. We investigated influence of high repeated iodine doses on hormonal thyroid balance in healthy children with no previous history of any thyroid diseases.Thirty eight children at age from 6 to12 years old with no personal and...

Over the last decade, high-resolution molecular imaging with nanoparticle has provided an unprecedented opportunity to noninvasively assess microanatomical neovascular processes associated with atherosclerosis, cancer, or arthritis as a “snap shot” or longitudinally with time. The capability to interogate biochemical markers in vivo in 3D over relatively large volumes of tissues facilitates a unique perspective of physiological and disease processes that canno...
