Altered Plasma Fatty Acid Abundance Is Associated with Cachexia in Treatment-Naïve Pancreatic Cancer

open access: yesCells, 2022
Cachexia occurs in up to 80% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients and is characterized by unintentional weight loss and tissue wasting. To understand the metabolic changes that occur in PDAC-associated cachexia, we compared the abundance ...

Effects of α subunit substitutions on the oxidation of βCys93 and the stability of sickle cell hemoglobin

open access: yesRedox Report, 2020
The β subunit substitutions, F41Y and K82D, in sickle cell hemoglobin (Hb) (βE6 V) provides significant resistance to oxidative stress by shielding βCys93 from the oxidizing ferryl heme.

Acceleration of hemoglobin C crystallization by hemoglobin S [PDF]

open access: yesBlood, 1989
We previously reported that circulating hemoglobin (Hb) CC erythrocytes contain oxygenated HbC crystals with little or no HbF and that HbF inhibits in vitro crystallization of HbC. We now report that HbS accelerates in vitro crystallization of HbC. Crystals were formed in 1.8 mol/L potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, at 30 degrees C and were counted in
