    A comparison of the effects of aggressive dose and conventional dose atorvastatin applications on IL-6 and NO levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction
    (Academic Journals, 2011) Basarali, Mustafa Kemal; Buyukbas, Sadik; Yazar, Hayrullah; Kiyici, Aysel; Kayrak, Mehmet; Ulgen, Siddik
    High dose statin medication in acute coronary syndrome cases is a therapy which lowers mortality and morbidity rates. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is produced in higher amounts in acute myocardial infarction (MI) and facilitates myocardial damage. However, secretion of nitric oxide (NO) is depleted. We aimed to compare the effects of conventional dose (10-40 mg/day) and aggressive dose (80 mg/day) atorvastatin medications on IL-6 and NO levels in patients with primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) intervention after acute MI. 50 patients (8 females, 42 males) with the diagnosis of acute MI with ST segment elevation enrolled to the study. Primary PTCA intervention was performed on these patients and consequently either conventional dose (10 to 40 mg/day) or aggressive dose (80 mg/day) atorvastatin medications were given to the patients. Three months later, plasma IL-6 and NO levels were determined and alterations in the groups were evaluated. IL-6 levels decreased from 24.34 +/- 12.04 to 11.40 +/- 5.79 pg/ml and from 29.62 +/- 17.38 to 12.51 +/- 8.95 pg/ml in conventional dose and aggressive dose regimens respectively (p<0.001). However, NO concentrations increased from 22.90 +/- 8.24 to 31.70 +/- 7.56 mu M in conventional dose and from 19.37 +/- 5.60 mu M to 34.15 +/- 9.60 mu M in aggressive dose groups (p < 0.001). The effects of aggressive dose atorvastatin medication on IL-6 and NO levels were similar to conventional dose application in cases with ST segment elevation acute MI.

    Effects of exercise and caffeic acid phenethyl ester after chronic exercise rat model
    (Journal Sports Science & Medicine, 2011) Alp, Ayse; Buyukbas, Sadik; Alp, Harun; Gergerlioglu, H. Serdar; Oz, Mehmet; Basarali, M. Kemal; Kiyici, Aysel
    In order to understand whether exercise and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) has an effect on obesity and weight control, we investigated the effects of CAPE, and exercise on lipid parameters (triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDLC), and adipokine substances such as leptin and resistin in rats. 40 male rat were randomly assigned into 4 groups. It was determined that CAPE does not have any significant effect on these parameters but that lipid parameters and leptin values in exercise groups decreased considerably, while no significant change occurred in resistin levels. In order to understand whether diet has an effect on exercise, body weights of all animal groups in pre and post-exercise were compared. A significant weight gain was observed (p = 0.005) in all groups. This study concluded that exercise has a considerable effect on leptin and lipid parameters; however, exercise alone was not sufficient for weight control and could be effective in weight control only when accompanied by a restricted diet.
