Previous studies suggest that chronic oral administration of retinol and other retinoids causes elevation of plasma triglyceride concentrations. The effects of chronic oral administration of beta-carotene, a carotenoid partially metabolized to retinol, on plasma lipid concentrations have not been
BACKGROUND
Nonmelanoma skin cancers are the most frequent malignancies in organ transplant patients. Patients who develop multiple new skin cancers may benefit from retinoid chemoprevention.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to advise on the use of retinoids in organ transplant
To confirm reports that skin cancer can be prevented with retinoid treatment, a three-year controlled prospective study was conducted of oral isotretinoin in five patients with xeroderma pigmentosum who had a history of multiple cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas. Patients were treated
Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare recessive disease with sun sensitivity, increased freckling and defective DNA repair. Xeroderma pigmentosum patients have more than a 1000-fold increased risk of developing skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. We studied
Sunlight exposure is associated with a number of health benefits including protecting us from autoimmunity, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. Animal studies have confirmed that ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation, independently of vitamin D, can limit diet-induced obesity, OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of acitretin on the development of keratotic skin lesions, and on squamous cell carcinomas and basal cell carcinomas in a group of renal transplant recipients.
METHODS
Forty-four renal transplant recipients with more than 10 keratotic
BACKGROUND
Little is known about the associations of metabolic aberrations with malignant melanoma (MM) and nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC).
OBJECTIVE
To assess the associations between metabolic factors (both individually and combined) and the risk of skin cancer in the large prospective Metabolic
To confirm reports that skin cancer can be prevented with retinoids, we conducted a three-year controlled prospective study of oral isotretinoin (also called 13-cis retinoic acid) in five patients with xeroderma pigmentosum who had a history of multiple cutaneous basal-cell or squamous-cell
OBJECTIVE
To assess the association between serum triglyceride levels and cancer risk.
METHODS
The metabolic syndrome and cancer project (Me-Can) includes cohorts from Norway, Austria, and Sweden; the current study included data on 257,585 men and 256,512 women. The mean age at study entry was 43.8
BACKGROUND
Statins are an established therapy after cardiac transplantation. Sirolimus (Srl) has been used successfully in cardiac transplant patients. However, potential side effects are hyperlipidemia and interactions with statins. The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
The objective of this study was to explore the oral route as a viable potential for the skin deposition of a novel diindolylmethane derivative (DIM-D) for chemoprevention activity. Various lipid-based oral delivery systems were optimized and compared for enhancing DIM-D's oral bioavailability and
Hereditarily hairless rats have been maintained by sibmatings since 1973. These animals were termed "bald rats", and examined for their characteristics on genetics, physiological, hematological and clinical chemistry values and histology. The bald rats began to lose their hair at approximately three
BACKGROUND
Acrochordons (known as skin tags) are benign skin tumors. A few studies with contradictory results have been reported regarding the abnormalities of carbohydrate and/or lipid metabolisms in patients with skin tags.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to determine if the presence of
BACKGROUND
Sirolimus (SRL) is a powerful immunosuppressant used primarily in calcineurin inhibitors (CNI)-related nephrotoxicity. However, reports of drug-related side effects are increasing. The aim of our report is to review the frequency and timing of these complications within our transplant
Previous studies of leptin with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors have been limited by clinical samples or lack of representation of the general population. This cross-sectional study, designed to examine whether leptin or insulin may mediate the endogenous relation of obesity with
