Early carotid atherosclerosis in women: results of an ultrasonographic study measuring carotid artery intima-media thickness
Signorelli S, Pia Costa M, Digrandi D, Di Pino L, Celotta G, Pennisi G, et al.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis . 2007 Oct; 14(4):162-6. PMID: 17904019
Ultrasonography (US) is a useful diagnostic tool in detecting early vascular diseases in women and is particularly relevant in the elderly population. Increased carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a...

Ultrasound diagnosis of carotid artery lesions in a population of asymptomatic subjects presenting atherosclerosis risk factors
Signorelli S, Di Pino L, Fichera G, Celotta G, Pennisi G, Marchese G, et al.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis . 2007 Oct; 13(3):95-8. PMID: 17903957
Carotid artery atherosclerosis, age, family history, smoking, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia represent risk factors of cerebrovascular events (stroke and transient ischemic attack). Hence, preventive treatment is vital for...

Propionyl-L-carnitine therapy: effects on endothelin-1 and homocysteine levels in patients with peripheral arterial disease and end-stage renal disease
Signorelli S, Fatuzzo P, Rapisarda F, Neri S, Ferrante M, Oliveri Conti G, et al.
Kidney Blood Press Res . 2006 Jul; 29(2):100-7. PMID: 16809937
Background/aims: Recent data have addressed the issue of higher levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that may be considered an independent predictor for cardiovascular...

A randomised, controlled clinical trial evaluating changes in therapeutic efficacy and oxidative parameters after treatment with propionyl L-carnitine in patients with peripheral arterial disease requiring haemodialysis
Signorelli S, Fatuzzo P, Rapisarda F, Neri S, Ferrante M, Oliveri Conti G, et al.
Drugs Aging . 2006 Apr; 23(3):263-70. PMID: 16608381
Objective: We explored the efficacy of intravenous therapy with propionyl L-carnitine in patients with both peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and chronic renal insufficiency requiring haemodialysis. Methods: The trial was a...

Behaviour of some indicators of oxidative stress in postmenopausal and fertile women
Signorelli S, Neri S, Sciacchitano S, Di Pino L, Pia Costa M, Marchese G, et al.
Maturitas . 2005 Dec; 53(1):77-82. PMID: 16325025
Objective: Unsaturated fatty acids are known to have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. They are very sensitive to oxidation caused by excess free oxygen radicals and the...

Plasma levels and zymographic activities of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in type II diabetics with peripheral arterial disease
Signorelli S, Malaponte G, Libra M, Di Pino L, Celotta G, Bevelacqua V, et al.
Vasc Med . 2005 Jun; 10(1):1-6. PMID: 15920993
Deregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is an important factor contributing to the development of vascular lesions. Plasma levels and zymographic activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were investigated in type II...

Correlation between some metabolic markers of vascular risk and carotid artery intima-media thickness in postmenopausal women
Signorelli S, Sciacchitano S, Borzi V, Di Pino L, Pia Costa M, Digrandi D, et al.
Maturitas . 2004 Oct; 49(2):134-9. PMID: 15474757
Unlabelled: AIM AND SETTING: This study investigated correlations between insulinemia, insulin sensitivity, body mass index, lipids and lipoproteins with intima-media thickness in a group of 25 (age range 40-55 years)...

High circulating levels of cytokines (IL-6 and TNFalpha), adhesion molecules (VCAM-1 and ICAM-1) and selectins in patients with peripheral arterial disease at rest and after a treadmill test
Signorelli S, Mazzarino M, Di Pino L, Malaponte G, Porto C, Pennisi G, et al.
Vasc Med . 2003 Jul; 8(1):15-9. PMID: 12866607
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of atherosclerosis that is associated with systemic inflammation. The aim of our study was to assess whether plasma markers of inflammation increased...
