Cigarette smoke and reactive oxygen species metabolism: implications for the pathophysiology of Reinke's edema.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: Oxidative damage mediates the lower airway response to cigarette smoke (CS). In the vocal folds, the tissue phenotype is both distinct and largely uncharacterized. We sought to investigate the effects of CS on the oxidative ... Read more...

Evaluating the forced oscillation technique in the detection of early smoking-induced respiratory changes.

23 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Early detection of the effects of smoking is of the utmost importance in the prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is easy to perform since it requires only tidal breathing and ... Read more...

Antiatherosclerotic and anti-insulin resistance effects of adiponectin: basic and clinical studies.

30 Aug 2009 Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipose cells that may couple regulation of insulin sensitivity with energy metabolism and serve to link obesity with insulin resistance. Obesity-related disorders characterized by insulin resistance including ... Read more...
