C-Reactive Protein Is Elevated Only in High Creatine Kinase Responders to Muscle Damaging Exercise
The purpose of this study was to investigate if exertional rhabdomyolysis induced by an acute bout of plyometric exercise in untrained individuals was associated with histological characteristics of skeletal muscle, creatine kinase (CK) polymorphism or ...

A transgenic zebrafish line for in vivo visualisation of neutrophil myeloperoxidase
The neutrophil enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a major enzyme utilised by neutrophils to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), amplifying their capacity for destroying pathogens and regulating inflammation. Despite its roles in the innate immunity, the

Myeloperoxidase and Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a leukocyte-derived enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a number of reactive oxidant species. In addition to being an integral component of the innate immune response, evidence has emerged that MPO-derived oxidants contribute to tissue damage during inflammation.

A type of magnetically responsive artificial cells (ACs) has been developed, demonstrating the loading of mitochondria and self‐enclosure processes to ensure the protection of mitochondrial transport via the bloodstream. The treatment with ACs effectively transplanted mitochondria around the lesion, thereby improving neurological recovery by supporting

Neutrophil-Mediated Regulation of Innate and Adaptive Immunity: The Role of Myeloperoxidase
Neutrophils are no longer seen as leukocytes with a sole function of being the essential first responders in the removal of pathogens at sites of infection.

Improved cardiac patient management through cardiac markers [PDF]
Cardiac markers enable the diagnosis and characterization of cardiac diseases. While the highly sensitive troponin assay is specific for myocardial infarction, myeloperoxidase is a powerful tool for early determination of plaque formation.

Neutrophil myeloperoxidase diminishes the toxic effects and mortality induced by lipopolysaccharide
Neutrophils have crucial antimicrobial functions but are also thought to contribute to tissue injury upon exposure to bacterial products, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
