    • 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type-2 and type-1 (11β-HSD2 and 11β-HSD1) and 5β-reductase activities in ... 
      Campino, Carmen; Carvajal, Cristian A.; Cornejo, Javiera; San Martín Núñez, Betty; Olivieri, Oliviero; Guidi, Giancesare; Faccini, Giovanni; Pasini, Francesco; Sateler, Javiera; Baudrand, Rene; Mosso, Lorena; Owen, Gareth I.; Kalergis, Alexis M.; Padilla, Oslando; Fardella, Patricia (2010)
      Cortisol availability is modulated by several enzymes: 11β-HSD2, which transforms cortisol (F) to cortisone (E) and 11β-HSD1 which predominantly converts inactive E to active F. Additionally, the A-ring reductases (5α- and ...
    • Aldosterone, plasma renin activity, and aldosterone/renin ratio in a normotensive healthy pediatric population 
      Martínez Aguayo, Alejandro; Aglony, Marlene; Campino, Carmen; Garcia, Hernan; Bancalari, Rodrigo; Bolte, Lillian; Avalos, Carolina; Loureiro, Carolina; Carvajal, Cristian A.; Avila, Alejandra; Perez, Viviana; Inostroza, Andrea; Fardella, Carlos E. (2010)
      Primary aldosteronism is an important cause of secondary hypertension and is suspected in adults with an aldosterone/renin ratio ≥25. The normal aldosterone/renin ratio is unknown in children. The aim was to establish serum ...
    • Certain large forms of circulating immunoreactive human growth hormone are in fact immunoglobulins 
      Campino, Carmen; Szecowka, Jaroslaw; Michelsen, Harold; Serón Ferré, María (1990)
      To explain frequent discordances between serum GH levels and clinical manifestation of acromegaly, we investigated the possibility that certain immunoglobulins G (IgGs) might be responsible for the displacement of [125I]human ...
    • Cortisol/cortisone ratio and matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity are associated with pediatric primary hypertension 
      Martínez Aguayo, Alejandro; Campino, Carmen; Baudrand, René; Carvajal, Cristian; Garcia, Hernán; Aglony, Marlene; Bancalari, Rodrigo; García Nannig, Lorena; Loureiro, Carolina; Vecchiola, Andrea; Tapia Castillo, Alejandra; Valdivia, Carolina; Sanhueza, Sebastián; Fuentes, Cristóbal; Lagos, Carlos F.; Solari, Sandra; Allende, Fidel; Kalergis, Alexis; Fardella, Carlos E. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016)
      Objective: To identify novel biomarkers associated with pediatric primary hypertension. Methods: We recruited 350 participants (4-16 years). Anthropometric parameters and aldosterone, plasma renin activity, cortisol, ...
    • Frequency of familial hyperaldosteronism type 1 in a hypertensive pediatric population: Clinical and ... 
      Aglony, Marlene; Martínez-Aguayo, Alejandro; Carvajal, Cristian A.; Campino, Carmen; García, Hernán; Bancalari, Rodrigo; Bolte, Lillian; Avalos, Carolina; Loureiro, Carolina; Trejo, Pamela; Brinkmann, Karin; Giadrosich, Vinka; Mericq, Verónica; Rocha, Ana; Avila, Aleja (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2011)
      Familial hyperaldosteronism type 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder attributed to a chimeric CYP11B1/CYP11B2 gene (CG). Its prevalence and manifestation in the pediatric population has not been established. We aimed to ...
    • Hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea: Spontaneous versus iatrogenic hypothyroidism 
      Serrano Contreras, Patricio; Generini, Gladys; Michelsen, Harold; Pumarino, Hugo; Campino, Carmen (1981)
      Although hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea occur in primary hypothyroidism, factors influencing their presence are not well established. To further define these factors, the duration of illness and serum levels of PRL ...
    • Identification of novel 11β-HSD1 inhibitors by combined ligand- and structure-based virtual screening 
      Lagos, Carlos F.; Vecchiola, Andrea; Allende, Fidel; Fuentes, Cristobal A.; Tichauer, Juan E.; Valdivia, Carolina; Solari, Sandra; Campino, Carmen; Tapia-Castillo, Alejandra; Baudrand, Rene; Villarroel, Pia; Cifuentes, Mariana; Owen, Gareth I.; Carvajal, Cristian A. (2014)
      11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) converts cortisone to cortisol in a NADPH dependent manner. Overexpression of 11β-HSD1 in key metabolic tissues is related to the development of type 2 diabetes, ...
    • Increased urinary glucocorticoid metabolites are associated with metabolic syndrome, hypoadiponectinemia, ... 
      Baudrand, Rene; Campino, Carmen; Carvajal, Cristian A.; Olivieri, Oliviero; Guidi, Giancesare; Faccini, Giovanni; Sateler, Javiera; Cornejo, Javiera; San Martín Núñez, Betty; Dominguez, Jose M.; Cerda, Jaime; Mosso, Lorena M.; Owen, Gareth I.; Kalergis, Alexis M.; Fardella, Patricia (2011)
      Metabolic syndrome (MetS) may have increased cortisol (F) production caused by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) in liver and adipose tissue and/or by HPA axis dysregulation. F is then mainly metabolized by ...
    • Melatonin reduces cortisol response to ACTH in humans La melatonina reduce la respuesta de cortisol al ACTH ... 
      Campino, Carmen; Valenzuela, Francisco; Arteaga, Eugenio; Torres Farfán, Claudia; Trucco, Cristián; Velasco, Alfredo; Guzmán, Sergio; Serón Ferré, María (2008)
      Background: Melatonin receptors are widely distributed in human tissues but they have not been reported in human adrenal gland. Aim: To assess if the human adrenal gland expresses melatonin receptors and if melatonin affects ...
    • Sodium intake is associated with endothelial damage biomarkers and metabolic dysregulation 
      Campino, Carmen; Baudrand, Rene; Valdivia, Carolina; Carvajal, Cristian; Vecchiola, Andrea; Tapia Castillo, Alejandra; Martínez Aguayo, Alejandro; Garcia, Hernán; García Nannig, Lorena; Allende, Fidel; Solari, Sandra; Fuentes, Cristóbal; Lagos, Carlos; Rojas, Maria; Muñoz, Doris; Fardella, Carlos E. (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      BACKGROUND : Mounting evidence has associated high sodium (HS) intake with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. We investigated whether HS intake modulates the parameters of endothelial damage, inflammation, ...
