Correlations between distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy and cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients in the North-Eastern region of Hungary Open
Distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) is the earliest detectable and the most frequent microvascular complication in diabetes mellitus. Several studies have previously demonstrated correlations between cardiovascular risk factors in di…

Change of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Level Correlates with the Severity of Diabetic Sensory Polyneuropathy after Six-Week Physical Activity Open
Background: Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a very frequent microvascular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Obesity and physical inactivity are well-known risk factors for T2DM. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a liver-sec…
View article: Effects of alpha-lipoic acid treatment on serum progranulin levels and inflammatory markers in diabetic neuropathy
Effects of alpha-lipoic acid treatment on serum progranulin levels and inflammatory markers in diabetic neuropathy Open
Objectives Progranulin (PGRN) is a secreted growth factor that helps to regulate neuronal survival by blocking tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) receptors. The antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is used in diabetic neuropathy to improve …

Long-term Characterization of Urban PM10 in Hungary Open
Over urban areas in Hungary, the annual average PM10 concentrations are not frequently higher than 40 µg m–3. Despite the mitigation efforts of the local governments, the annual number of exceedances of the daily limit of 50 µg m–3 is high…

The effect of α-lipoic acid treatment on plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine, a biomarker of endothelial dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy Open
Introduction Diabetic neuropathy may develop on a background of hyperglycaemia and is associated with increased oxidative stress. Elevated asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels are linked to oxidative stress reducing the synthesis of n…

Aerosol hygroscopicity: Hygroscopic growth proxy based on visibility for low-cost PM monitoring Open
Visibility is a simple indicator of air quality, and its drastic decrease is often related to poor air quality resulting from an increase in aerosol (particulate matter PM) concentration. Visibility is also related to water vapor due to th…
