Does urinary peptide content differ between COPD patients with and without inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency? [PDF]

, 2017
Differentiating between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with normal (PiMM) or deficient (PiZZ) genetic variants of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is important not only for understanding the pathobiology of disease progression but also ...

Exercise‐specific plasma proteomic signatures in racehorses: Candidates for training adaptation and peak load monitoring

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Racehorses undergo profound physiological changes with training and competition, but current biomarkers inadequately capture the complex molecular dynamics of exercise. This study aimed to identify novel plasma biomarkers of training adaptation and peak load using high‐throughput proteomics.

Biomarkers of systemic inflammation and growth in early infancy are associated with stunting in young Tanzanian children [PDF]

, 2018
Stunting can afflict up to one-third of children in resource-constrained countries. We hypothesized that low-grade systemic inflammation (defined as elevations in serum C-reactive protein or alpha-1-acid glycoprotein) in infancy suppresses the growth ...

Long-term augmentation therapy with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin in an MZ-AAT severe persistent asthma

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2016
A young Caucasian female with severe bronchial asthma and Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, MZ phenotype, experienced a quick and severe limitation of her physical capacity, which negatively affected her psychological state and social life, though she

Decrease in alpha-1 antiproteinase antitrypsin is observed in primary Sjogren’s syndrome condition

Autoimmunity, 2020
Primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that is characterized by the infiltration of immune cells. Although the loss of salivary gland function is a major manifestation observed in pSS, the factors that could promote these ...

Genetic Variants of Serum Alpha 1 Antitrypsin [PDF]

, 1995
Complete absence of data on alpha 1 antitrypsin in this country prompted us to determine serum levels using radial immunodiffusion (RID) and phenotypes by isoelectric focusing (IEF) in 100 healthy adults (52 males and 48 females).

Gross Intrahepatic Mass Formation Predicts the Primary Site of Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma Based on Molecular Pathologic Studies

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Purpose Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA) are clinically and genetically distinct. However, the classification of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (phCCA) with an intrahepatic tumor mass remains unclear.

Preliminary evidence of improved liver biomarkers in adolescents with obesity and suspected metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease treated with semaglutide: A case series

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects 30%–40% of youth with obesity and lacks approved pharmacologic therapies. In this single‐center retrospective case series at a tertiary care safety‐net children's hospital, we evaluated five adolescents (mean age: 17.0 years; 100% Hispanic; 60% male; mean body mass index:

The role of proteases, endoplasmic reticulum stress and SERPINA1 heterozygosity in lung disease and α-1 anti-trypsin deficiency. [PDF]

, 2011
The serine proteinase inhibitor α-1 anti-trypsin (AAT) provides an antiprotease protective screen throughout the body. Mutations in the AAT gene (SERPINA1) that lead to deficiency in AAT are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.
