Oxidative Stress: A Possible Trigger for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Pelvic organ prolapse is a frequent health problem in women, encountered worldwide, its physiopathology being still incompletely understood. The integrity of the pelvic‐supportive structures is a key element that prevents the prolapse of the pelvic organs.

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 ...

Total desmosines in plasma and urine correlate with lung function [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2011 The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between the matrix degradation biomarkers, desmosine and isodesmosine (desmosines), and lung function.Plasma and creatinine-corrected urinary total desmosines (P- and U-desmosines, respectively), lung function and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DL,CO) were measured in a ...

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2021 Desmosine and isodesmosine are crosslinking amino acids of elastin, which is an essential component of the dermal extracellular matrix protein. Quantitative analysis of crosslinker desmosines in human skin dermis has not been fully achieved due to the insoluble nature of elastin protein.

Photolysis of Desmosine and Isodesmosine by Ultraviolet Light [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1976 Desmosine and isodesmosine were separated by ion‐exchange and paper chromatography, after acid hydrolysis of purified elastin from beef ligamentum nuchae. The fractions obtained by ion‐exchange chromatography were clearly mixtures of related compounds.
