Individual variation in levels of haptoglobin-related protein in children from Gabon [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Haptoglobin related protein (Hpr) is a key component of trypanosome lytic factors (TLF), a subset of highdensity lipoproteins (HDL) that form the first line of human defence against African trypanosomes. Hpr, like haptoglobin (Hp) can bind to

Serum Haptoglobin as a Predictor of Treatment Response in Patients With Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria. [PDF]

Clin Transl Allergy
ABSTRACT Background Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a mast cell‐driven disease associated with systemic inflammation and altered immune responses. Haptoglobin (HP), an acute‐phase glycoprotein, exhibits antioxidative and immunomodulatory properties, while zonulin, the precursor of HP‐2, regulates epithelial barrier integrity. We investigated the

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Haptoglobin release by human adipose tissue in primary culture

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Haptoglobin is a putative adiposity marker because its concentration in blood is increased in obese humans. The present studies examined haptoglobin release by explants of adipose tissue in primary culture.

Haptoglobin and hemopexin inhibit vaso-occlusion and inflammation in murine sickle cell disease: Role of heme oxygenase-1 induction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
During hemolysis, hemoglobin and heme released from red blood cells promote oxidative stress, inflammation and thrombosis. Plasma haptoglobin and hemopexin scavenge free hemoglobin and heme, respectively, but can be depleted in hemolytic states ...

The natural history of periodontal disease: The Java study—Origin, implementation, and results 35 years on

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This review describes the origin and results of the prospective longitudinal study to test potential prognostic indicators for periodontal breakdown in a population deprived of regular dental care. Experimental gingivitis studies in individuals highly susceptible or highly resistant to periodontitis showed that bleeding on probing developed ...

Haptoglobin Polymorphism: A Novel Genetic Risk Factor for Celiac Disease Development and Its Clinical Manifestations [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Haptoglobin (Hp) α-chain alleles 1 and 2 account for 3 phenotypes that may influence the course of inflammatory diseases via biologically important differences in their antioxidant, scavenging, and immunomodulatory properties.

Evaluation of serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D, C‐reactive protein, and haptoglobin as biomarkers in dogs newly diagnosed with histoplasmosis

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023
Background Serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin (OH)D, C‐reactive protein (CRP), and haptoglobin are useful biomarkers in various infectious diseases and inflammatory disorders in dogs, but their utility in histoplasmosis is unknown.

Pilot study into milk haptoglobin as an indicator of udder health in heifers after calving [PDF]

, 2018
Mastitis, inflammation of the mammary gland, is often caused by intramammary infection with bacterial organisms. It impacts on dairy cattle welfare, production, udder health and longevity in the herd.
