Effects of periodontal therapy on C-reactive protein and HDL in serum of subjects with periodontitis
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014 Objective: To investigate the effects of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in the sera and its association with body mass index and high density lipoprotein in subjects with severe periodontitis.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Long-term weight maintenance and cardiovascular risk factors are not different following weight loss on carbohydrate-restricted diets high in either monounsaturated fat or protein in obese hyperinsulinaemic men and women [PDF]
, 2007 The aim of this study was to determine after 52 weeks whether advice to follow a lower carbohydrate diet, either high in monounsaturated fat or low fat, high in protein had differential effects in a free-living community setting. Following weight loss on

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2009 Considering how much attention has been paid to diseases of the heart during the past twenty years, their history and causes might by most persons be regarded as nearly complete . — George Burrows, FRSA , February 23, 1847 A century and a half after the proclamation of Borrows, the search for a marker of coronary heart disease continues; more than ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

High sensitivity C-reactive protein: Its correlation with sputum cell counts in bronchial asthma [PDF]
, 2009 SummaryBackgroundTwo major acute-phase proteins were identified in human, C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A. There are 3 types of C-reactive protein assays: conventional C-reactive protein, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and cardiac C-reactive ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Evaluation of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in acute asthma
European Respiratory Journal, 2011 Objective: High sensitivity C reactive protein (Hs-CRP) is an inflammatory marker known to be related to inflammation, infection, and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate hs-CRP levels in serum of asthmatics and their relationship to pulmonary function tests, serum IgE levels, peripheral
