Journal ArticleDOI
Low vitamin D serum level is related to severe fibrosis and low responsiveness to interferon-based therapy in genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C
Salvatore Petta,Calogero Cammà,Concetta Scazzone,Claudio Tripodo,Vito Di Marco,Antonino Bono,Daniela Cabibi,G. Licata,Rossana Porcasi,Giulio Marchesini,Antonio Craxì +10 more
TL;DR: Low vitamin D is linked to severe fibrosis and low SVR on interferon (IFN)‐based therapy and G1 CHC patients had low 25(OH)D serum levels, possibly because of reduced CYP27A1 expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiotensin-converting enzyme gene deletion polymorphism determines an increase in frequency of migraine attacks in patients suffering from migraine without aura.
Salvatore Paterna,P. Di Pasquale,A D'Angelo,G. Seidita,Antonino Tuttolomondo,A Cardinale,T Maniscalchi,G Follone,Giubilato A,M Tarantello,G. Licata +10 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that ACE-DD gene polymorphism could have an important role in determining migraine attacks and the frequency of these attacks, and further data are needed through further studies, especially on the biomolecular level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left ventricular diastolic and systolic function in normotensive obese subjects: influence of degree and duration of obesity
Rosario Scaglione,M. A. Dichiara,A. Indovina,R. Lipari,A. Ganguzza,Gaspare Parrinello,G. Capuana,G. Merlino,G. Licata +8 more
TL;DR: The present study was carried out to evaluate systolic and diastolic parameters in overweight and moderately obese, but otherwise healthy subjects, and in a lean control group, to determine whether degree and duration of obesity can influence left ventricular function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of physical exercise on inflammatory markers of atherosclerosis.
Antonio Pinto,Domenico Di Raimondo,Antonino Tuttolomondo,Carmelo Buttà,Glauco Milio,G. Licata +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of available researches seem to confirm the efficacy of regular physical training as a nonpharmacological therapy having target chronic low-grade inflammation.
Journal Article
Central obesity and hypertension: pathophysiologic role of renal haemodynamics and function.
Rosario Scaglione,A. Ganguzza,Salvatore Corrao,Gaspare Parrinello,G. Merlino,M. A. Dichiara,S. Arnone,M D D'Aubert,G. Licata +8 more
TL;DR: Obesity with body fat distribution of central type, more than obesity of peripheral type, is associated to abnormalities in renal haemodynamics and function, consistent with the indication that change in renalHaemodynamics take place at an early stage in the obesity-induced hypertension.
