Impact of High Serum Lysozyme Activity on Renal Function and Survival Outcomes in Transplant‐Eligible and Ineligible Acute Myeloid Leukemia [PDF]
Cancer MedicineLysozyme‐induced nephropathy is a complication of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Few studies have discussed the association between blood lysozyme levels at AML onset and AML prognosis, which this study aimed to address.

From bacterial killing to immune modulation: Recent insights into the functions of lysozyme
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 Lysozyme is a cornerstone of innate immunity. The canonical mechanism for bacterial killing by lysozyme occurs through the hydrolysis of cell wall peptidoglycan (PG).

Salivary Lysozyme and Glycosylated Lysozyme Levels of Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Comparison with Healthy Individuals [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2023 Diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder that can cause changes in the composition and function of saliva. Therefore, it seems that the study of saliva composition in patients with diabetes will help in its diagnosis, prognosis, and complications.

In vitro PCR verification that lysozyme inhibits nucleic acid replication and transcription
Scientific Reports, 2023 Lysozyme can kill bacteria by its enzymatic activity or through a mechanism involving its cationic nature, which can facilitate electrostatic interactions with the viral capsid, the negatively charged parts of nucleic acids, and polymerase, so binding to

Lysozyme and hypokalaemia [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1981 Summary Serum potassium, lysozyme and urinary lysozyme measurements were made in 98 patients with tuberculosis, 18 with sarcoidosis and 30 with acute myeloid leukaemia. Serum K concentration fell below 3·5 mmol/l in 17 of the 30 leukaemic patients and only 7 of these had raised serum lysozyme concentrations.

Lysozyme resistance in Streptococcus suis is highly variable and multifactorial. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Streptococcus suis is an important infectious agent for pigs and occasionally for humans. The host innate immune system plays a key role in preventing and eliminating S. suis infections.

Role of lysozyme inhibitors in the virulence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Lysozymes are key effectors of the animal innate immunity system that kill bacteria by hydrolyzing peptidoglycan, their major cell wall constituent. Recently, specific inhibitors of the three major lysozyme families occuring in the animal kingdom (c-, g-

Use of Lysozyme as a Feed Additive on Rumen Fermentation and Methane Emission [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016 This study was conducted to determine the effect of lysozyme addition on in vitro rumen fermentation and to identify the lysozyme inclusion rate for abating methane (CH4) production.
