Open DOI
Assessment of circulating xenin as a potential metabolic biomarker in active smokers
Objectives: Xenin regulates appetite, motility, and metabolic homeostasis. As the link between smoking and xenin has not yet been sufficiently investigated, this study compared serum levels between smokers and non-smokers and evaluated t...

Endocrine dysfunction in transfusion-dependent and non-transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction: To systematically compare adrenal, thyroid, and growth hormone axes between transfusion-dependent (TDT) and non-transfusion-dependent (NTDT) beta-thalassemia patients, and to quantify differences in hormone levels and preva...

Dual effects of progesterone on HaCaT human keratinocytes: apoptosis induction and suppression of oxidative stress and TLR2 expression with potential implications for hyperplastic skin disorders
Objectives: Hyperplastic skin disorders such as psoriasis are characterized by excessive keratinocyte proliferation, impaired apoptosis, oxidative stress, and sustained activation of innate immune pathways. While conventional treatment p...

Estrogen receptor signaling without estrogen: molecular insights into hormone resistance
Objectives: Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is thought to be a ligand-dependent transcription factor. Increasing number of data suggest that ERα is able to retain its transcriptional activity without stimulation by estrogen and therefore c...
