Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc and human health: an update.
TL;DR: The zinc as a multipurpose trace element, its biological role in homeostasis, proliferation and apoptosis and its role in immunity and in chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, depression, Wilson’s disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other age-related diseases are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc: a multipurpose trace element.
TL;DR: Physiological supplementation of Zn in ageing and in age-related degenerative diseases corrects immune defects, reduces infection relapse and prevents ageing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remodeling of myocyte gap junctions in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy due to a deletion in plakoglobin (Naxos disease)
Starr R. Kaplan,Joseph J. Gard,Nikos Protonotarios,Adalena Tsatsopoulou,Chara Spiliopoulou,Aris Anastasakis,Catherine Prost Squarcioni,William J. McKenna,Gaetano Thiene,Cristina Basso,Nicole Brousse,Guy Fontaine,Jeffrey E. Saffitz +12 more
TL;DR: Remodeling of gap junctions occurs early in Naxos disease, presumably because of abnormal linkage between mechanical junctions and the cytoskeleton, and Gap junction remodeling may produce a coupling defect which, combined with the subsequent development of pathologic changes in myocardium, could contribute to a highly arrhythmogenic substrate and enhance the risk of sudden death in Nxos disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adverse effects of anabolic steroids in athletes: A constant threat
TL;DR: The reproductive, hepatic, cardiovascular, hematological, cerebrovascular, musculoskeletal, endocrine, renal, immunologic and psychologic effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christos T. Chasapis,Christos T. Chasapis,Panagoula-Stamatina A. Ntoupa,Chara Spiliopoulou,Maria Stefanidou +4 more
TL;DR: This review gives a thorough insight into the most recent evidence on the association between Zn biochemistry and human pathologies, epigenetic processes, gut microbial composition, drug targets and nanomedicine.
