The aim of the present paper was to study the role of NO as a mediator of leptin action at the hypothalamic level during sexual maturation. First, we analyzed the effect of different leptin concentrations (10-13, 10-11 and 10-9 M) on Gn-RH release from anterior preoptic area and medio basal hypothalamus (APOA-MBH) of prepubertal (15 days old) and peripubertal (30 days old) female rats. Leptin 10-13 M was the most effective concentration in releasing Gn-RH in both groups of animals. Since glutamate (GLU) ...

Patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER +) early breast cancer (EBC) are at a continuous risk for distant relapse despite 5 years of standard endocrine therapy, even after 10–15 years after primary diagnosis. Hence, large randomized clinical trials were conducted to evaluate the role of extended endocrine treatment (ET) with the primary goal to prevent or at least delay distant relapse. Two very large trials of extended tamoxifen (TAM), the ATLAS and the aTTom trial, proved the efficacy of prolonged ...

Male breast cancer is a rare disease for which treatment has been based on the evidence available from female breast cancer. The new genomic tools can better characterize the biology of breast cancer. It is hoping that these will help to clarify possible differences of breast cancer behaviour in male patients, which will have a major impact on treatment strategies and on the conduct of clinical trials in this setting. In this review we will summarize available information on epidemiology, risk factors ...

Neoadjuvant therapy (NT) has become a valuable research tool for the incorporation of alternative cytotoxic agents, as well as new biological therapies, into anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy-based regimens. Her-2-positive disease is predictive of higher pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab. Benefits were also seen for the combination of trastuzumab with lapatinib or pertuzumab, suggesting that dual blockage of the HER-2 will probably emerge as the new ...

OMC (octyl-methoxycinnamate), an endocrine disruptor having estrogenic activity, is used in sunscreen creams as UV filter. We studied its "in vitro" effects on the hypothalamic release of Gn-RH as well as on the amino acid neurotransmitter system. OMC significantly decreased Gn-RH release in normal male and female rats as well as in castrated rats with substitutive therapy. No effects were observed in castrated rats without substitutive therapy. In males OMC increases the release of GABA, decreasing ...

Resveratrol is a polyphenol with great properties namely antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, capable of preventing diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative ones. However, it is usually unstable, easily oxidizable and sensitive to heat and light, which limits its application in the food industry. Microencapsulation is an efficient technology that can be used to overcome these limitations. The purpose of this work was to microencapsulate resveratrol, by spray-drying technology, ...

The main objective of this prospective multicenter study was to examine whether illness representations of control, affect, and coping behaviors mediate the effects of self-efficacy to cope with cancer on psychological symptoms and overall quality of life, in breast cancer patients.Data from 413 women (Mean age = 54.87; SD = 8.01), coming from four countries (i.e., Finland, Israel, Italy, Portugal), who received medical therapy for their early breast cancer, were analyzed. Coping self-efficacy was assessed ...

The probability that fruit ingestion may protect human health is an intriguing vision and has been studied around the world. Therefore, fruits are universally promoted as healthy. Over the past few decades, the number of studies proposing a relationship between fruit intake and reduced risk of major chronic diseases has continued to grow. Fruits supply dietary fiber, and fiber intake is linked to a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and obesity. Fruits also supply vitamins and minerals to ...

The immune, endocrine and nervous systems are closely interrelated, which allows the organism to respond to different types of stress such as infection. Chronic infectious and inflammatory conditions are often accompanied by an impaired reproductive function. Leptin, a hormone produced by adipose tissue, exerts a regulatory function on the reproductive axis. It has homology with other proinflammatory cytokines and could be modified by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Therefore, these studies were designed ...

This guideline applies to central venous access in adult cancer patients, which includes peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), tunnelled central catheters and totally implantable devices. Since most evidence comes from the use of central venous catheters (CVCs) in patients with a diversity of pathologies, some recommendations are based on guidelines and studies which may lack some specificity for cancer patients.
