Background: Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease with pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. In such pathologic conditions, increased oxidative stress and rearrangement of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein …
Longitudinal changes in leptin and adiponectin concentrations through uncomplicated pregnancy Open
Background: Leptin and adiponectin play an important role during normal gestation; they are implicated in energy metabolism, glucose utilization and inflammation. Osteocalcin is released into circulation during bone formation; it also affe…
Matrix metalloproteinases-9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 in sarcoidosis patients Open
Matrix metaloproteinases (MMPs) and their specific inhibitors - tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play an important role in pulmonary extracellular matrix destruction. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease affecting m…
Association of osteocalcin, insulin resistance and oxidative stress during noncomplicated pregnancy Open
Background: The aim of this study was to explore longitudinal changes of serum osteocalcin during normal, uncomplicated pregnancy and after delivery, and its correlations with parameters of glucose homeostasis, lipid status, and oxidative …
Cardiovascular Risk Factors In 7–13 Years Old Children From Vojvodina (Serbia) Open
