Vildagliptin, but not glibenclamide, increases circulating endothelial progenitor cell number: a 12-month randomized controlled trial in patients with type 2 diabetes

Alessandra Dei, Valentina Spigoni, Monia Cito, Raffaella Aldigeri et autres

Abstract Background Fewer circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and increased plasma (C-term) stromal cell-derived factor 1α (SDF-1α), a substrate of DPP-4, are biomarkers, and perhaps mediators, of cardiovascular risk and mortality. Short-term/acute treatment with DPP-4 inhibitors improve EPC bioavailability; however, long-term effects …

N-3 PUFA increase bioavailability and function of endothelial progenitor cells

Valentina Spigoni, Carlo Mario Lombardi, Monia Cito, Angela Picconi et autres

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Recent data suggest that n-3 PUFA exert beneficial effects on endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) biology. We sought to investigate whether these effects might be mediated by enhanced EPC in vitro function and/or in vivo bioavailability. METHODS AND RESULTS: CACs …

Pioglitazone Improves In Vitro Viability and Function of Endothelial Progenitor Cells from Individuals with Impaired Glucose Tolerance

Valentina Spigoni, Angela Picconi, Monia Cito, Valentina Ridolfi et autres

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that the PPARγ-agonist insulin sensitizer pioglitazone, may provide potential beneficial cardiovascular (CV) effects beyond its anti-hyperglycaemic function. A reduced endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) number is associated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or diabetes, conditions characterised by increased CV risk. …

Nutritional treatment of chronic liver failure

Giampaolo P. Bianchi, Rebecca Marzocchi, Caterina Lorusso, Valentina Ridolfi et autres

The liver plays a central role in the regulation of nutrition by trafficking the metabolism of nutrients, their distribution and appropriate use. Accordingly, protein-energy malnutrition is common in patients with advanced liver disease, and it is a significant prognostic factor, affecting survival, …
