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.

EFFECTS OF METAL PROTOPORPHYRINS ON BURN WOUND CONVERSION

, 2008
A murine model was utilized to test the influence of heavy metal protoporphyrins on burn conversion, heme oxygenase – 1 (HO-1) expression, and inflammation. Heavy metal protoporphyrins, such as cobalt protoporphyrin (Co PP) and tin protoporphyrin (Sn PP),

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.

Molecular Expression and Characterization of Erythroid-Specific 5-Aminolevulinate Synthase Gain-of-Function Mutations Causing X-Linked Protoporphyria

Molecular Medicine, 2013
X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) (MIM 300752) is a recently recognized erythropoietic porphyria due to gain-of-function mutations in the erythroid-specific aminolevulinate synthase gene (ALAS2).

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

H2S‐Amplified “Three‐in‐One” Antibacterial Strategy for Periodontitis Treatment Using a Photosensitive Pillararene‐Embedded COF/MOF Hybrid

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The integration of ROS‐generating systems with H2S depletion strategies effectively overcomes the limitations imposed by endogenous antioxidant defenses on ROS‐based antimicrobial therapies. In this study, the Cu‐MOF is incorporated into pillararene‐embedded COF, achieving a “three‐in‐one” antimicrobial effect that markedly alleviated periodontal ...

Current Cell/Organoid and Animal Models for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with limited therapeutic options and a marked risk of progression to biliary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and malignancy. Progress in PSC research has been hindered by the lack of models that faithfully recapitulate the complex biliary microenvironment and disease heterogeneity ...

The chemistry of pyrrolic compounds. XL. A new synthesis of protoporphyrins III and XIII and a 1H N.M.R. study of the preferred pathway of electron delocalization in the porphyrin macrocycle

, 1978
The synthesis of protoporphyrins III and XIII as the dimethyl esters has been completed by an oxidative cyclization of biladiene-ac intermediates. Protoporphyrin III has been converted into deuteroporphyrin III and measurements of the proton coupling ...
