      Liver cells respond to copper loading upregulating protective mechanisms. However, to date, except for liver content, there are no good indicators that identify individuals with excess liver copper. We hypothesized that ...
    • Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; Weisstaub Nuta, Sergio; Medina, Marcos; Suazo Romo, Miriam; Guzmán, Miguel; Araya, Magdalena (Elsevier, 2014)
      It is not clear how frequent is copper deficiency in humans. Current copper markers are not sensitive enough to detect early copper deficiency and new markers are needed. CCS is a candidate to become a copper ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Diaz, Julia; Oyarzún, Amaya; Lucero, Yalda; Alarcón, Teresa; Gonzalez, Monica; Canales, Paulina; Fierro, Liliana; Pérez Bravo, Francisco (Lippincott Williams & Wilkings, 2018)
      Background: Current reports applying ESPGHAN exception criteria (EEC) to diagnose celiac disease (CD) without duodenal biopsies indicate that a high percentage of patients with CD may be identified when applied correctly ...
    • Bejares Cárdenas, Marcela; Oyarzún, Amaya; Lucero Álvarez, Yalda; Espinoza, Nelly; Bascuñán Gamboa, Karla; Araya, Magdalena (Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2015)
      Active search of celiac disease (CD) among risk groups has significantly increased the scope of known clinical variants. Aim: To measure the frequency and clinical characteristics of CD among first degree relatives (FDR) ...
    • Luque, Cecilia; Cisternas, Felipe A.; Araya, Magdalena (2006)
      Background: During the twentieth century there was a change in the pattern of diseases in Europe, with an increase in the incidence of allergies and autoimmune disorders, that paralleled a decrease of infectious conditions. ...
    • Oliva Becerra, Ismael; Concha, Guillermo; Araya, Magdalena (Universidad de Chile. Facultad de Economía y Negocios., 2009)
      En 1981 encontramos que Chile ya se había convertido en el segundo productor de salmones en el mundo, con 245.000 toneladas anuales, siendo superado solamente por Noruega con 420.000 toneladas anuales de producción. Para ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Gutiérrez, Ricardo; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel (Springer, 2014)
      The chaperone to Zn–Cu superoxide dismutase (CCS) has been postulated as a candidate copper indicator, changing in a consistent manner in induced and recovered copper deficiency, in experimental cell and animal models. ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Andrews, Mónica; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel Armando (Springer, 2012-04)
      Assessment of proteins in blood and other tissues has failed to identify markers of early copper effects on health. Studies in animal models show that chaperone of SOD (CCS) respond to changes of copper status. Evidence ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Llanos, Adolfo; Figueroa, Guillermo; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo (US DEPT HEALTH HUMAN SCIENCES PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCE, 2004-07)
      We assessed gastrointestinal effects in 1,365 adults exposed to either < 0.01 (controls), 2, 4, or 6 mg copper/L of drinking water for 2 months in a randomized, double-blind community-based study. The risk of symptoms ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Chen, Bingheng; Klevay, Leslie M.; Strain, J. J.; Johnson, Luann; Robson, Paula; Shi, Wei; Nielsen, Forrest; Zhu, Huigang; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Haber, Lynne T. (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2003-12)
      In a double blind, 3 x 3 factorial (volume x dose) study, 70 adult females (18-60 years of age) at four different international sites (total pooled n = 269) were given 100, 150, or 200 ml of bottled drinking water with ...
    • Rojas Sobarzo, Loreto; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Brito, Alex; Suazo Romo, Miriam; Araya, Magdalena; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando (Springer, 2013)
      Copper (Cu) deficiency has been reported to influence lipid metabolism, but the effects in humans are controversial. To evaluate the effects of 8 mg Cu/day supplementation (as copper sulfate) for 6 months on the lipid ...
    • Muñoz, Carlos; López, Marcelo; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel Armando; Araya, Magdalena (EUROPEAN CYTOKINE NETWORK, 2005-12)
      Backgound. Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for many biological processes including maintenance of both innate and acquired branches of immunity. Objective. To measure the effect of copper supplementation on IL-2 ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Oyarzún, Amaya; Lucero Álvarez, Yalda; Espinosa, Nelly; Pérez Bravo, Francisco (MDPI AG, 2015)
      HLA-linked genes are relevant to celiac disease (CD); the potential genetic differences present worldwide are not fully understood. Previous results suggest that the distribution of HLA-DQ2/DQ7/DQ8 in Chile may differ from ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Kelleher, Shannon; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; Sierralta, Walter; Vial, María Teresa; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo; Lonnerdal, Bo (AMER SOC CLINICAL NUTRITION, 2005-05)

    • Canales, Paulina; Araya, Magdalena; Alliende G., Francisco; Hunter, Bessie; Alarcón Orellana, Teresa; Chávez S., Eduardo (SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2008-03)
      Background: Ample use of serological markets of high sensitivity and specificity led to relevant changes in the epidemiology of celiac disease. The impact of these changes in our country is poorly known. Aim: To assess the ...
    • Tapia S., Alexis; Araya, Magdalena (2006)
      The frequency of Crohn disease shows a significant increase in the last century. Affected patients show a misbalance between production of free radicals and anti oxidant defenses. Thus, one of the increasingly accepted ...
    • Parada, Alejandra; Araya, Magdalena (SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2010-10)
      The global prevalence of celiac disease is of one person per 250 inhabitants. The disease is induced by gluten, a peptide contained in wheat, rye and barley that during small intestinal digestion generates smaller peptides. ...
