Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in patients with sarcoidosis [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine, 2018
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a glycoprotein that is involved in the innate immune system and increased expression has been detected in diverse diseases. Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disorder and its clinical course and prognosis are changeable and highly divergent. This study aimed to examine the expression of NGAL in

Dual Action of Neutrophil Gelatinase–Associated Lipocalin [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2007
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is expressed and secreted by immune cells, hepatocytes, and renal tubular cells in various pathologic states. NGAL exerts bacteriostatic effects, which are explained by its ability to capture and deplete siderophores, small iron-binding molecules that are synthesized by certain bacteria as a means of ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin: utility in urologic conditions [PDF]

Pediatric Nephrology, 2016
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is best known as a non-invasive early marker of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, recent published reports have described additional utility of both plasma NGAL (pNGAL) and urine NGAL (uNGAL) in various pathologic conditions within the pediatric urinary tract, including urinary tract infection ...

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2014
To the Editor: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a 25 kD lipocalin that is covalently bound to matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 produced by neutrophils [1]. NGAL in blood or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) may reflect neutrophilic inflammation in the lungs [2, 3], and it is highly induced in injured epithelial cells, including ...
