    Reactive oxygen species mediate high glucose-induced heparanase-1 production and heparan sulphate proteoglycan degradation in human and rat endothelial cells: a potential role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis

    The content of heparan sulphate is reduced in the endothelium under hyperglycaemic conditions and may contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Heparanase-1 (HPR1) specifically degrades heparan sulpha...

    Serum leptin levels, hepatic leptin receptor transcription, and clinical predictors of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in obese bariatric surgery patients

    Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a major cause of liver disease in morbidly obese patients. Clinical predictors of NASH remain elusive, as do molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis.
