Metabolic profiling of elite athletes with different cardiovascular demand
( John Wiley & Sons Ltd , 2019 , Article)Intensive exercise of elite athletes can lead to physiological alterations in the cardiovascular system in response to increased stroke volume and blood pressure, known collectively as cardiovascular demand (CD). This study ... -
Metabolic profiling of pre-gestational and gestational diabetes mellitus identifies novel predictors of pre-term delivery.
( BMC , 2020 , Article)Pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risks of pre-term labor, hypertension and preeclampsia. In this study, metabolic profiling of blood samples collected ... -
Metabolic reprogramming of T regulatory cells in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment.
( Springer , 2021 , Article)Metabolic dysregulation in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) is considered as a hallmark of solid tumors, leading to changes in biosynthetic pathways favoring onset, survival and proliferation of malignant cells. ... -
Metabolic shift toward oxidative phosphorylation in docetaxel resistant prostate cancer cells
( Impact Journals , 2016 , Article)Drug resistance of cancer cells is recognized as the primary cause of failure of chemotherapeutic treatment in most human cancers. Growing evidences support the idea that deregulated cellular metabolism is linked to such ... -
Metabolic Signature of Leukocyte Telomere Length in Elite Male Soccer Players
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)Biological aging is associated with changes in the metabolic pathways. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a predictive marker of biological aging; however, the underlying metabolic pathways remain largely unknown. The aim ... -
Metabolic signature of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
( BMC , 2019 , Article)Obesity is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, some obese individuals maintain their insulin sensitivity and exhibit a lower risk of associated comorbidities. ... -
Metabolic Signatures of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension in COVID-19 Patients With Different Disease Severity.
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article)Increased COVID-19 disease severity is higher among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. However, the metabolic pathways underlying this association are not fully characterized. This study aims to ... -
The Metabolic Switch of Physical Activity in Non-Obese Insulin Resistant Individuals.
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)Healthy non-obese insulin resistant (IR) individuals are at higher risk of metabolic syndrome. The metabolic signature of the increased risk was previously determined. Physical activity can lower the risk of insulin ... -
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease: a selective review of pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies.
( Frontiers Media , 2024 , Article Review)Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a novel terminology introduced in 2020 to provide a more accurate description of fatty liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction. It replaces the outdated term ... -
Metabolomic biomarkers of pancreatic cancer: a meta-analysis study
( Impact Journals , 2017 , Article)Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an aggressive disease with high mortality rates, however, there is no blood test for early detection and diagnosis of this disease. Several research groups have reported on metabolomics based ... -
Metabolomic Profiling of Pregnancies With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Identifies a Unique Metabolic Signature and Potential Predictive Biomarkers of Low Birth Weight
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex syndrome with clinical features of an endocrine/metabolic disorder. Various metabolites show significant association with PCOS; however, studies comparing the metabolic profile ... -
Metabolomic profiling reveals key metabolites associated with hypertension progression
( Frontiers Media SA , 2024 , Article)Introduction: Pre-hypertension is a prevalent condition among the adult population worldwide. It is characterized by asymptomatic elevations in blood pressure beyond normal levels but not yet reaching the threshold for ... -
