Diagnostic Value of Myeloperoxidase Index in Bacterial Infections [PDF]
Infectious diseases remain a serious problem in Indonesia. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a substance released by neutrophils, which activates the synthesis of hypochlorous acid (HOCL) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chloride ion (Cl-).

Ageing enhances cellular immunity to myeloperoxidase and experimental anti-myeloperoxidase glomerulonephritis [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is an autoimmune disease characterised by small blood vessel inflammation, commonly affecting the kidneys and respiratory tract.

Effect of antibiotics on polymorphonuclear leukocyte functions and myeloperoxidase activity, glutathione and malondialdehyde levels in allergic asthma [PDF]
We investigated the effect of ciprofloxacin, rifampicine and doxycycline on myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in allergic asthma patients and healthy volunteers.

Evaluation of expression of genes associated with post-thrombotic syndrome [PDF]
Prediction of the development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) among patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is currently based on clinical characteristics alone; no reliable biomarkers are available.

Chlorination and oxidation of heparin and hyaluronan by hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite anions: effect of sulfate groups on reaction pathways and kinetics. [PDF]
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), produced in inflammatory conditions by the enzyme myeloperoxidase, and its anion hypochlorite (OCl(-)) exist in vivo at almost equal concentrations.

Reactions of Superoxide with Myeloperoxidase† [PDF]
When neutrophils ingest bacteria, they discharge superoxide and myeloperoxidase into phagosomes. Both are essential for killing of the phagocytosed micro-organisms.

Myeloperoxidase inhibition ameliorates plaque psoriasis in mice [PDF]
Plaque psoriasis is a common inflammatory condition of the skin characterized by red, flaking lesions. Current therapies for plaque psoriasis target many facets of the autoimmune response, but there is an incomplete understanding of how oxidative damage ...

Myeloperoxidase Mediates Postischemic Arrhythmogenic Ventricular Remodeling [PDF]
Rationale: Ventricular arrhythmias remain the leading cause of death in patients suffering myocardial ischemia. Myeloperoxidase, a heme enzyme released by polymorphonuclear neutrophils, accumulates within ischemic myocardium and has been linked to ...

Myeloperoxidase in human intracranial aneurysms: preliminary evidence [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Noninvasive imaging identifying a predictive biomarker of the bleeding risk of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) is needed. We investigated a potential biomarker of UIA instability, myeloperoxidase, in human aneurysm tissue.
