Comparative proteomic analysis of gallbladder bile proteins related to cholesterol gallstones. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Nucleation of cholesterol monohydrate crystals following the aggregation and fusion of cholesterol-enriched vesicles is a critical procedure in the formation of cholesterol gallstone. Biliary proteins play important roles in the process.

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Fatty acid-and retinol-binding protein, Mj-FAR-1 induces tomato host susceptibility to root-knot nematodes. [PDF]
Plant-parasitic nematodes produce at least one structurally unique class of small helix-rich retinol- and fatty-acid-binding proteins that have no counterparts in their plant hosts.

Retinol-Binding Protein 4 in Human Obesity [PDF]
Studies in mice suggest that adipocytes serve as glucose sensors and regulate systemic glucose metabolism through release of serum retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4). This model has not been validated in humans. RBP4 was highly expressed in isolated mature human adipocytes and secreted by differentiating human adipocytes.

Structure of myelin P2 protein from equine spinal cord [PDF]
Equine P2 protein has been isolated from horse spinal cord and its structure determined to 2.1 Å. Since equine myelin is a viable alternative to bovine tissue for large-scale preparations, characterization of the proteins from equine spinal cord ...

Molecular basis for retinol binding by serum amyloid A during infection
Significance Vitamin A is an essential nutrient for immune system development and function. After absorption from the diet, vitamin A is converted to retinol, which is delivered to cells and tissues by retinol-binding proteins.

Exploring the Anti‐Diabetic Potential of Anthocyanins: From Biochemical Pathways to Human Trials
ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health challenge with increasing prevalence rates, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Anthocyanins (ACs) are potential bioactive compounds found in various fruits and vegetables, attracting the attention of researchers due to their possible role in managing diabetes and its complications ...

Proteinuria is a marker and mediator of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In clinical practice, the urinary protein‐to‐creatinine ratio (UP/C) is of limited usefulness, because it indicates only the magnitude of proteinuria and not the origin of the loss ...
