Metabolic, inflammatory and adipokine differences on overweight/obese children with and without metabolic syndrome: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Obesity is associated with low-grade inflammation and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in both children and adults. Our aim was to describe metabolic, inflammatory and adipokine differences on overweight/obese children with and without MetS.

Methods: This was an observational study.

Metabolomic and biochemical characterization of a new model of the transition of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease induced by folic acid.

Background: Renal diseases represent a major public health problem. The demonstration that maladaptive repair of acute kidney injury (AKI) can lead to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease has generated interest in studying the pathophysiological pathways involved. Animal models of AKI-CKD transition represent important tools to study this pathology.

[Organ and tissue donation and transplantation: three health care centers' attitude].

Objective: To assess the knowledge and attitude towards organ donation within health professionals in different institutions of Nuevo Leon.

Methods: A prospective, open, observational, descriptive study of parallel groups, through application of a survey formulated by the Hospital Universitario (HU) "Dr. José Eleuterio González".

Spironolactone Effect in Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Wistar Rats.

Introduction: Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury, often associated with liver surgery, is an unresolved problem in the clinical practice. Spironolactone is an antagonist of aldosterone that has shown benefits over IR injury in several tissues, but its effects in hepatic IR are unknown.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of spironolactone on IR-induced damage in liver.
