Background Bacteremia-induced sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in intensive care units. To control a bacterial infection, an immune response is required, but this response might contribute to organ failure.

Retinol-binding protein: the transport protein for vitamin A in human plasma [PDF]
Vitamin A circulates in human plasma as retinol bound to a specific transport protein. This protein differs from the known low and high density plasma lipoproteins and has a hydrated density greater than 1.21. In order to study this protein, volunteers were injected intravenously with retinol-15-(14)C.

Manganese oxides (MnOX) of different structures and with different Mn oxidation states exhibit significant variation in their reactivity toward the oxidation of allylic alcohols. Using two allylic alcohol model substrates, we demonstrate the relationship between activity and MnOX structure, Mn4+ content and incorporated secondary cations.

A proteomic investigation of forebrain regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
Our investigation reveals ontogenetic, injury‐ and regeneration‐associated proteomic changes in the leopard gecko forebrain. Abstract Background The ability to replace lost or damaged neurons following an injury is termed reactive neurogenesis. Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms ...

Identification of SNPs in Cellular Retinol Binding Protein 1 and Cellular Retinol Binding Protein 3 Genes and Their Associations with Laying Performance Traits in Erlang Mountainous Chicken [PDF]
CRBP1 (cellular retinol binding protein 1) and CRBP3 (cellular retinol binding protein 3), are important components of the retinoid signaling pathway and take part in vitamin A absorption, transport and metabolism.

Retinol transport system in cattle and purification of retinol-binding protein from bovine serum.
Retinol transport system in cattle was investigated, followed by the purification and characterization of bovine serum retinol-binding protein (RBP). Gel filtration of serum from cow produced two retinol peaks, peak 1 and 2. The major, peak 1 having higher molecular weight corresponded to the retinol peak from human serum which consisted of RBP and ...

Associations Between Microbial Depletion and Autonomic Dysregulation in Binge‐Eating Disorder
ABSTRACT Objective The interplay between the gut microbiome and autonomic nervous system remains unexplored in binge‐eating disorder (BED). We aimed to explore specific microbial alterations in BED and examine their potential association with cardiac vagal tone as a distinct bio‐behavioral phenotype.

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Characterization of structural features of food molten‐globule state proteins: An overview
Abstract During food processing, pH, ionic strength, and temperature drive conformational transitions from native states to partially folded intermediates and fully unfolded states. The molten‐globule (MG) state typically preserves substantial secondary structure but has relaxed tertiary packing, thereby modulating protein solubility, emulsifying ...
