Stroke volume and myocardial contraction fraction in transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy: A systematic review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundCardiac amyloidosis (CA) is primarily a restrictive cardiomyopathy in which the impairment of diastolic function is dominant. Despite this, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) may be depressed in the late stage of the disease, but it ...

Transthyretin as a Biomarker to Predict and Monitor Major Depressive Disorder Identified by Whole-Genome Transcriptomic Analysis in Mouse Models

Biomedicines, 2021
Background: Accumulations of stressful life events result in the onset of major depressive disorder (MDD). Comprehensive genomic analysis is required to elucidate pathophysiological changes and identify applicable biomarkers.

Accurate, strong, and stable reporting of choroid plexus epithelial cells in transgenic mice using a human transthyretin BAC

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2018
Background Choroid plexus epithelial cells express high levels of transthyretin, produce cerebrospinal fluid and many of its proteins, and make up the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. Choroid plexus epithelial cells are vital to brain health and may be

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.

Medicine and pharmacy reports, 2021
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) may be an under recognized cause of heart failure (HF). TTR amyloidosis can be inherited, caused by variants in the TTR gene (ATTRv) or by deposition of wild-type TTR protein (ATTRwt), leading to high mortality if untreated.

Structure-Based Probe Reveals the Presence of Large Transthyretin Aggregates in Plasma of ATTR Amyloidosis Patients

JACC: Basic to Translational Science
Summary: Amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is a relentlessly progressive disease caused by the misfolding and systemic accumulation of amyloidogenic transthyretin into amyloid fibrils.

Amyloid Transthyretin Cardiomyopathy in Elderly Patients With Aortic Stenosis Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background The prevalence of calcific aortic stenosis and amyloid transthyretin cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) increase with age, and they often coexist. The objective was to determine the prevalence of ATTR‐CM in patients with severe aortic stenosis and ...

Technetium-99m-labeled pyrophosphate uptake in the rectum of a patient with wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis

Radiology Case Reports
Wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis is a disease characterized by deposition of transthyretin amyloid protein in systemic organs and tissues, especially the heart, lungs, tenosynovium, and ligaments.

Transthyretin: a multifaceted protein

BioMolecular Concepts, 2014
Abstract Transthyretin is a highly conserved homotetrameric protein, mainly synthetized by the liver and the choroid plexus of brain. The carrier role of TTR is well-known; however, many other functions have emerged, namely in the nervous system.

Design of azine antioxidants for sustainable biodiesel: integrating structural characterization and molecular modeling

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing global demand for sustainable energy solutions has intensified the search for renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, with biodiesel emerging as a promising candidate due to its biodegradability and lower emissions. However, its large‐scale application is limited by low oxidative stability, which compromises storage and performance.

Misdiagnosis of hereditary amyloidosis as AL (Primary) amyloidosis [PDF]

, 2002
Background: Hereditary, autosomal dominant amyloidosis, caused by mutations in the genes encoding transthyretin, fibrinogen A -chain, lysozyme, or apolipoprotein A-I, is thought to be extremely rare and is not routinely included in the differential ...
