Potassium supplementation blunts the effects of high salt intake on serum retinol‐binding protein 4 levels in healthy individuals

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2021
Aims/Introduction Excessive dietary salt or low potassium intakes are strongly correlated with insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In epidemiological and experimental studies, increased serum retinol‐binding protein 4 (RBP4) contributes

Cysteine-10 on 17 β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 has stabilizing interactions in the cofactor binding region and renders sensitivity to sulfhydryl modifying chemicals [PDF]

, 2013
17 β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17 β -HSD1) catalyzes the conversion of estrone to the potent estrogen estradiol. 17 β -HSD1 is highly expressed in breast and ovary tissues and represents a prognostic marker for the tumor progression and ...

Quantitative mass spectrometry evaluation of human retinol binding protein 4 and related variants. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) is an exciting new biomarker for the determination of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. It is known that circulating RBP4 resides in multiple variants which may provide enhanced clinical utility, but conventional ...

HEV-Capsid Protein Interacts With Cytochrome P4502C8 and Retinol- Binding Protein 4 [PDF]

Hepatitis Monthly, 2011
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major causative agent of acute clinical hepatitis in adults throughout much of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The lack of an efficient cell culture system for HEV has greatly limited our understanding of the mechanisms of infection, replication, and pathogenicity of this virus.

Sexual dimorphism in developmental and diet‐dependent circulating retinol binding protein 4

Obesity Science & Practice, 2018
Summary Objective Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) transports vitamin A (Retinol) in the blood and contributes mechanistically to the linkage between obesity, insulin resistance and associated comorbidities including type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary ...

Decreased Retinol Binding Protein 4 Concentrations are Associated With Cholesterol Gallstone Disease

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2010
Circulating retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is associated with a variety of obesity-related diseases. This study investigated whether there were aberrant concentrations of RBP4 in cholesterol gallstone disease.

Retinol-Binding Protein-4 in Women With Untreated Essential Hypertension

American Journal of Hypertension, 2009
Retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) is a novel adipokine able to modulate the action of insulin in several tissues. A variable degree of insulin resistance characterizes the vast majority of hypertensive (HYP) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between RBP4 and essential hypertension, exploring potential links between RBP4 ...

Smart REASSURED Sensors via Machine‐Augmented Printable On‐Paper Arrays

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights the emerging role of pattern‐recognition, printable on‐paper sensor arrays for intelligent PoC diagnostics. It discusses how paper's inherent limitations can be overcome through surface modification and scalable printing, and how machine‐learning analysis of cross‐reactive arrays enables multiplexed, low‐cost, and REASSURED ...
