Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin [PDF]
Blood, 1972 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 ...

Relationship between blood Lead status and anemia in Ugandan children with malaria infection
BMC Pediatrics, 2020 Background In Uganda, childhood anemia remains a health challenge and is associated with malaria infection as well as iron deficiency. Iron deficiency is intertwined with nutritional status, age and other comorbidities including helminths and Lead ...

Light-induced release of protoporphyrin, but not of zinc protoporphyrin, from erythrocytes in a patient with greatly elevated erythrocyte protoporphyrin [PDF]
Blood, 1983 A patient with greatly increased erythrocyte protoporphyrin, but normal porphyrins in urine and feces, is described. The patient later developed a malignant lymphoma, and the reason why she accumulated protoporphyrin in her erythrocytes is not known. The protoporphyrin in the erythrocytes consisted of two types of protoporphyrin, free protoporphyrin ...

Eggshell spottiness reflects maternally transferred antibodies in blue tits. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Blue-green and brown-spotted eggshells in birds have been proposed as sexual signals of female physiological condition and egg quality, reflecting maternal investment in the egg. Testing this hypothesis requires linking eggshell coloration to egg content,

PLoS ONE, 2015 We previously identified heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) as a specific target of miR-155, and inhibition of HO-1 activity restored the capacity of miR-155-/- CD4+ T cells to promote antigen-driven inflammation after adoptive transfer in antigen-expressing ...

Prolonged Allogeneic Islet Graft Survival by Protoporphyrins
Cell Transplantation, 2005 Transplantation of islets of Langerhans in patients with type 1 diabetes allows for improved metabolic control and insulin independence. The need for chronic immunosuppression limits this procedure to selected patients with brittle diabetes.

Erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin [PDF]
Kidney International, 1999 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.

Experiments with Protoporphyrin
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1946 Summary1. A simple method for the preparation of protoporphyrin from blood is described. 2. White rats were injected subcutaneously with protoporphyrin and were found to excrete greatly increased amounts of protoporphyrin in the feces. No urinary protoporphyrin nor increase of urinary coproporphyrin excretion following the injection was noted.
