      Palabiyik, Saziye Sezin; Asci, Ali; Girgin, Gozde; Sahin, Gonul; Cetinkaya, Ramazan; Baydar, Terken (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2013)
      End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the inability of the kidneys to remove waste products from the blood. The most important factors causing ESRD that require hemodialysis are diabetes and hypertension. There are limited ...
    • Folate, Neopterin And Kynurenine Pathway In Patients With Statin Therapy 

      Palabiyik, Saziye Sezin; Girgin, Gozde; Asci, Ali; Demirelli, Selami; Uslu, Abdulkadir; Karakelleoglu, Sule; Akcay, Fatih; Aksakal, Enbiya; Sahin, Gonul; Baydar, Terken (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2016)
      Statins, widely used antihyperlipidemic drugs, also have immunomodulatory properties independent from their lipid lowering effect. Even with slight modulations in the immune system, pteridine levels can display changes. ...
    • Neopterin Profile To Evaluate The Effectiveness Of Treatment In Aggressive Periodontitis 

      Bodur, A; Baydar, T; Ozmeric, N; Engin, AB; Uraz, A; Eren, K; Sahin, G (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2003)
      Periodontal disease results from the interaction of the host defence mechanisms with the microbial dental plaque. Analysis of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) provides a non-invasive means of evaluating the role of the host ...
    • Spot Analyses Of Serum Neopterin, Tryptophan And Kynurenine Levels In A Random Group Of Blood Donor Population 

      Unuvar, Songul; Girgin, Gozde; Palabiyik, S. Sezin; Karaagac, Tulay; Ozcebe, Osman Ilhami; Sahin, Gonul; Baydar, Terken (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2013)
      In transfusions, safety measures are used for the health of both receivers and donors. In this regard, early and sensitive markers are strongly needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate neopterin profile and tryptophan ...
    • Tryptophan Degradation And Neopterin Levels By Aging 

      Sipahi, Hande; Girgin, Gozde; Inanici, Fatma; Ariogul, Servet; Sahinb, Gonul; Baydar, Terken (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2013)
      Increased neopterin concentrations and altered tryptophan degradation are observed in diseases concomitant with cellular immune activation. This may be involved in the pathogenesis of several age-related disorders such as ...
