Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury.
( Frontiers Media , 2017 , Article)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by a disruption in the normal function of the brain due to an injury following a trauma, which can potentially cause severe physical, cognitive, and emotional impairment. The ... -
Metabolic consequences of obesity on the hypercoagulable state of polycystic ovary syndrome.
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women have a hypercoagulable state; however, whether this is intrinsically due to PCOS or, alternatively, a consequence of its metabolic complications is unclear. We determined plasma ... -
Metabolic GWAS of elite athletes reveals novel genetically-influenced metabolites associated with athletic performance.
( Nature Research , 2019 , Article)Genetic research of elite athletic performance has been hindered by the complex phenotype and the relatively small effect size of the identified genetic variants. The aims of this study were to identify genetic predisposition ... -
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 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 ... -
