Effects of dietary turmeric (Curcuma longa) on innate and acquired immune responses in broiler chicken

Veterinary and Animal Science, 2021
One of the most desired treatments to combat stress and inflammation with minimal adverse effects in large bird populations is food additives. This study investigated the effects of dietary turmeric (Curcuma longa) on the level of serum amyloid A (SAA ...

Cleavage, Downregulation, and Aggregation of Serum Amyloid A [PDF]

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2019
Abstract Various diseases cause over-expression of the serum amyloid A protein (SAA), which leads in some, but not all, cases to amyloidosis as a secondary disease. The response to the over-expression involves dissociation of SAA hexamer and subsequent cleavage of the released monomers, most commonly yielding ...

Serum Amyloid Alpha in Parapneumonic Effusions [PDF]

Mediators of Inflammation, 2011
Study objectives. To assess serum amyloid alpha (SAA) pleural fluid levels in parapneumonic effusion (PPE) and to investigate SAA diagnostic performance in PPE diagnosis and outcome.Methods. We studied prospectively 57 consecutive patients with PPE (empyema (EMP), complicated (CPE), and uncomplicated parapneumonic effusion (UPE)).

Inflammation and Tumor Progression: The Differential Impact of SAA in Breast Cancer Models

Biology
Background: Previous research has shown that the Serum Amyloid A (SAA) protein family is intricately involved in inflammatory signaling and various disease pathologies. We have previously demonstrated that SAA is associated with increased colitis disease

Validation of an equine serum amyloid A assay with an unusually broad working range

BMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a major equine acute phase protein and of great value in detection and monitoring of inflammation. A new immunoturbidometric assay based on monoclonal antibodies (VET-SAA, Eiken Chemical Co., Japan) may be useful for ...

Serum Amyloid A as a Biomarker for Radiation Exposure [PDF]

Radiation Research, 2015
There is a need for minimally invasive biomarkers that can accurately and quickly quantify radiation exposure. Radiation-responsive proteins have applications in clinical medicine and for mass population screenings after a nuclear or radiological incident where the level of radiation exposure and exposure pattern complicate medical triage for first ...

Detection of Serum Amyloid A Isoforms in Cattle [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2009
Two-dimensional electrophoresis and immunoblotting were used to characterize 7 serum amyloid A (SAA) isoforms in cows with amyloidosis or chronic inflammation. Five SAA isoforms (isoelectric point [pI] 5.6, 6.1, 6.4, 6.8, and 7.7) were detected in all 10 amyloidosis serum samples, while 2 isoforms, pI 5.2 and 8.6, were detected in 4 and 9 of the ...

Analysis of serum amyloid A in sarcoidosis patients [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine, 2011
A crucial pathogenetic role of serum amyloid A (SAA) in granulomatous inflammation of sarcoidosis has recently been reported. In this study we analyzed SAA expression in detail, starting from proteomic analysis of serum of sarcoidosis patients. We also used the faster ELISA method that enabled us to examine a greater number of samples.
