Differential regulation of hypoxanthine and xanthine by obesity in a general population
Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2020 Aims/Introduction Uric acid is synthesized by oxidation of hypoxanthine and xanthine using a catalyzing enzyme, xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), which can be a source of reactive oxygen species.

Metabolite Ratios as Quality Indicators for Pre-Analytical Variation in Serum and EDTA Plasma
Metabolites, 2021 In clinical diagnostics and research, blood samples are one of the most frequently used materials. Nevertheless, exploring the chemical composition of human plasma and serum is challenging due to the highly dynamic influence of pre-analytical variation ...

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

Interplay of 'induced fit' and preorganization in the ligand induced folding of the aptamer domain of the guanine binding riboswitch [PDF]
, 2006 Riboswitches are highly structured elements in the 50-untranslated regions (50-UTRs) of messenger RNA that control gene expression by specifically binding to small metabolite molecules. They consist of an aptamer domain responsible for ligand binding and

Biochemistry Changes That Occur after Death: Potential Markers for Determining Post-Mortem Interval [PDF]
, 2013 Death is likely to result in very extensive biochemical changes in all body tissues due to lack of circulating oxygen, altered enzymatic reactions, cellular degradation, and cessation of anabolic production of metabolites.

Biosensor measurement of purine release from cerebellar cultures and slices [PDF]
, 2010 We have previously described an action-potential and Ca2+-dependent form of adenosine release in the molecular layer of cerebellar slices. The most likely source of the adenosine is the parallel fibres, the axons of granule cells. Using microelectrode

Ischemic preconditioning attenuates portal venous plasma concentrations of purines following warm liver ischemia in man [PDF]
, 2005 Background/Aims: Degradation of adenine nucleotides to adenosine has been suggested to play a critical role in ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Thus, we questioned in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy whether (i) IPC will increase plasma purine ...
