Arg'58) are encoded by three co-dominant alleles (E2, e3, e4). Phenotyping is cumbersome
and, therefore, several methods for apo E genotyping have been developed. Of these, PCR-…

We performed a case-control study to investigate the role of recent infection as stroke risk
factor and to identify pathogenetic pathways linking infection and stroke. We examined 166 …

Background Cervical artery dissection (CAD) is an important cause of ischemic stroke in
younger patients. However, its cause is insufficiently understood. Objective To test the …

Asymmetrical dimethyl-l-arginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase.
We hypothesized that plasma levels of ADMA could be increased in patients with …

In 154 subjects (age 63±11 years; 63 women and 91 men) randomly selected from the

1111 The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that iron supplementation in well-trained
non-iron-depleted athletes leads to an enhanced increase of total body hemoglobin (TBH) …

Background and Purpose Currently, recent infection (primarily bacterial infection) is discussed
as a risk factor for cerebrovascular ischemia. The aim of this study was to investigate …

… In the trypsin assay the extinction increases from E = 0.065 to E = 0.250 are proportional
to the amount of enzyme added (1–4 μg.); in the plasmin assay between E = 0.100 and E = …

Activated monocytes may contribute to the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. We tested the
hypothesis that release products and procoagulant activity of monocytes are increased in …
