Preparation and photodynamic performance of electrospinning CA/PpIX porous fibrous membrane
To address the problem of drug-resistant bacterial infections, a photodynamic broad-spectrum antibacterial cellulose acetate/protoporphyrin (CA/PpIX) porous microfibre membrane was prepared by electrospinning.

Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin [PDF]
Abstract Blood protoporphyrin (PROTO) concentration in man and animals has been studied as a possible means of assessing the relationship between iron supply and marrow requirements. There appear to be two fractions of PROTO: one at a level of about 30 µg/ 100 ml unrelated to either iron supply or cell age, and a second fraction that ...

Recognized and Emerging Features of Erythropoietic and X-Linked Protoporphyria
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) are inherited disorders resulting from defects in two different enzymes of the heme biosynthetic pathway, i.e., ferrochelatase (FECH) and delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase-2 (ALAS2 ...

Erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin [PDF]
In iron deficiency and lead poisoning, the enzyme ferrochelatase catalyzes the incorporation of zinc, instead of iron, into protoporphyrin IX, resulting in the formation of zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP). In healthy blood donors, there is a good inverse correlation between serum ferritin and ZPP levels.
