Human health effects of air pollution
Marilena Kampa,Elias Castanas +1 more
TL;DR: Air pollution has both acute and chronic effects on human health, affecting a number of different systems and organs, and ranges from minor upper respiratory irritation to chronic respiratory and heart disease, lung cancer, acute respiratory infections in children and chronic bronchitis in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiproliferative and apoptotic effects of selective phenolic acids on T47D human breast cancer cells: potential mechanisms of action.
Marilena Kampa,Vassilia-Ismini Alexaki,George Notas,Artemissia-Phoebe Nifli,Anastassia Nistikaki,Anastassia Hatzoglou,Efstathia Bakogeorgou,Elena Kouimtzoglou,George Blekas,Dimitrios Boskou,Achille Gravanis,Elias Castanas +11 more
TL;DR: Phenolic acids exert a direct antiproliferative action, evident at low concentrations, comparable with those found in biological fluids after ingestion of foods rich in phenolic acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potent inhibitory action of red wine polyphenols on human breast cancer cells.
Athina Damianaki,Efstathia Bakogeorgou,M. Kampa,George Notas,Anastassia Hatzoglou,Simone Panagiotou,Claudia Gemetzi,Elias A. Kouroumalis,Pierre-Marie Martin,Elias Castanas +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that low concentrations of polyphenols, and consecutively, consumption of wine, or other polyphenol‐rich foods and beverages, could have a beneficial antiproliferative effect on breast cancer cell growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyxeni Karakosta,Dimitris Alegakis,Vaggelis Georgiou,Theano Roumeliotaki,Eleni Fthenou,Maria Vassilaki,Dimitrios Boumpas,Elias Castanas,Manolis Kogevinas,Leda Chatzi +9 more
TL;DR: High TSH levels and thyroid autoimmunity in early pregnancy may detrimentally affect pregnancy and birth outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wine antioxidant polyphenols inhibit the proliferation of human prostate cancer cell lines.
M. Kampa,Anastassia Hatzoglou,George Notas,Athina Damianaki,Efstathia Bakogeorgou,Claudia Gemetzi,Elias A. Kouroumalis,Pierre-Marie Martin,Elias Castanas +8 more
TL;DR: A direct inhibitory effect of low concentrations of antioxidant wine phenols on the proliferation of human prostate cancer cell lines mediated by the production of NO is shown, further suggesting potential beneficial effects of wine and other phenol-containing foods or drinks for the control of prostate cancercell growth.
