References in many bibliographies are sometimes referred to as "Surname, I", so the citations of academics whose Surname and initials are the same may occasionally interfere. This problem is often the case with citation indexes all over the world.
How can I see only citations to my article?
After searching the name of your article, you can see the references to the article you selected as soon as you click on the details section.

Abstract:

Abstract Aim. Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for atherosclerosis. Adiponectin is mainly synthesized by white adipose tissue; it is known to have anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory effects on endothelial cells and macrophages. Methods. A total of 80 individuals including 48 hypertensive and 32 normotensive individuals were included in the study. Groups were separated as obese and non-obese. Results. It was found out that the patient group had statistically higher systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein, high sensitive C reactive protein and microalbuminuria values than the control group while high density lipoprotein values were significantly lower (p<0.05). When adiponectin levels of the groups were compared, the patient group had an adiponectin level of 8.66±2.75 µg/mL and the control group had an adiponectin level of 15.01±3.99 µg/mL. There was a statistically significant difference between two groups (p<0.05). There was a negative correlation between adiponectin level and atherosclerotic risk factors. Conclusion. Adiponectin level was lower in hypertensive group when compared to the control group; there was also a significant association between adiponectin and atherosclerotic risk factors. A low adiponectin level constitutes an important risk for development of atherosclerosis. Keywords: Atherosclerosis, hypertension, adiponectin   Özet Amaç. Hipertansiyon aterosklerozun majör risk faktörlerindendir. Adiponektin başlıca beyaz adipoz dokudan sentez edilmekte ve endotelyal hücreler ve makrofajlar üzerinde antiaterojenik ve antiinflamatuar etkileri olduğu bilinmektedir. Yöntem. Çalışmaya 48’i hipertansif 32 tanesi normotansif 80 birey alındı. Gruplar kendi arasında obez ve nonobez olarak ayrıldı. Bulgular. Hasta grubunun kontrol grubuna göre sistolik kanbasıncı, diastolik kanbasıncı, açlık kan şekeri, total kolesterol, trigliserit, low density lipoprotein-C, hs-CRP ve mikroalbuminüri değerleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek, high density lipoprotein-C değerleri ise anlamlı düşük bulundu (p<0,05). Grupların adiponektin düzeyleri karşılaştırıldığında; hasta grubunda 8,66±2,75 µg/mL, kontrol grubunda 15,01±3,99 µg/mL olarak bulundu. Aradaki farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p<0,05). Adiponektin seviyesi ile aterosklerotik risk faktörleri arasında negatif yönlü bir korelasyon bulundu. Sonuç. Sonuç olarak adiponektin düzeyi hipertansif grupta kontrole göre daha düşüktü ve ateroskleroz risk faktörleri ile aralarında anlamlı ilişki vardı. Adiponektin düzeyinin düşük olması ateroskleroz gelişimi için önemli bir risk oluşturmaktadır. Anahtar sözcükler: Ateroskleroz, hipertansiyon, adiponektin
