Association between oxidative stress and melanoma progression
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2018)
Background: Overproduction of free radicals accompanied with their insufficient removal/neutralization by antioxidative defense system impairs redox hemostasis in living organisms. Oxidative stress has been shown to be ...
Predictive values of serum uric acid and Alanine-aminotransferase for fatty liver index in Montenegrin population
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2019)
Alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) and uric acid cut-off levels used in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) diagnosis are advised to be lowered. Due to contradictory results on the utility of both these biomarkers for ...
Evaluation of a Summary Score for Dyslipidemia, Oxidative Stress and Inflammation (The Doi Score) in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and its Relationship with Obesity
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2018)
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a cardiornetabolic disorder whose features include dyslipidemia, increased oxidative stress (OS, oxy) and chronic inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the ...

(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2018)
Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease which affects various tissues and organs, including skin, lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system. Cardiac involvement ...
High Interleukin 27 Production is Associated with Early Clinical Stage and Localized Disease in Patients with Melanoma
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2016)
Background: The immune response in patients with melanoma is an important focus of research due to the tumor's resistance and immunotherapy possibilities. IL-27 is one of the cytokines with antitumor properties. The role ...
Alterations of HDL Particles in Children with End-Stage Renal Disease
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2017)
Background: Unfavorable lipid profile presents one of most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease in renal pathology. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) as enzyme which oxidizes lipoproteins and paraoxonase1 (PON1) as ...
Plasma cathepsin S is associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and bilirubin in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms
(De Gruyter Open, 2019)
Cathepsin S (CTSS) is a cysteine protease involved in atherogenesis. We compared the plasma CTSS as well as other biomarkers of atherosclerosis in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and aortoiliac occlusive ...
