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 ...

Effect of moderate anaemia on later mortality in rural African children. [PDF]

, 2003
Severe anaemia in childhood is associated with increased mortality, although evidence relating moderate anaemia to child survival is scarce. We aimed to investigate this association.

Effects of dietary butyrate supplementation and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug administration on serum inflammatory markers and productivity of dairy cows during the calving transition

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022
: Dairy cattle experience inflammation during the calving transition period, and butyrate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are expected to reduce the inflammation.

Contribution of O-GlcNAc modification of NF-κB p65 in the attenuation of diabetes-induced haptoglobin expression in rat liver [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2020
Haptoglobin (Hp) is a hemoglobin-binding protein that prevents free hemoglobin-induced tissue oxidative damage. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, the initial elevation of Hp expression in the serum and liver tends to decrease with diabetes ...

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 and infection [PDF]

, 2010
The haptoglobin gene is highly polymorphic in humans with strong evidence of functionally distinct biochemical phenotypes. In all human populations, three major haptoglobin phenotypes Hp 1-1, Hp 2-1, and Hp 2-2 are present, but additional phenotypes have

B-cell kinetics in humans: rapid turnover of peripheral blood memory cells. [PDF]

, 2005
Information about the kinetic behavior and lifespan of lymphocytes is crucial to understanding the mechanisms that regulate processes such as immunologic memory. We have used in vivo labeling of dividing cells with 6,6-(2)H(2)-glucose, combined with cell

Quantification of Intact O-Glycopeptides on Haptoglobin in Sera of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Liver Cirrhosis

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Haptoglobin (Hp) is one of the acute-phase response proteins secreted by the liver, and its aberrant N-glycosylation was previously reported in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Limited studies on Hp O-glycosylation have been previously reported.

Haptoglobin gene polymorphisms and interleukin-6 and -8 levels in patients with sickle cell anemia

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2015
BACKGROUND: Haptoglobin genotypes, and interleukin-6 and -8 participate in the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia. The expression of cytokines is regulated by genetic mechanisms however the effect of haptoglobin polymorphisms on these cytokines is not
