There is a constant interest in blood-based protein biomarkers, which can help to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes of multifactorial human pathologies. In this regard, proteomic studies usually employ plasma immunoaffinity fractionation to deplete the most abundant plasma proteins, due to the ...
High Levels of a Protein in Blood Linked to Heart Disease PreventionSULLIVAN, By WALTER
Fibulin-3 is a protein that floats around outside cells, coating the cells and free floating in blood plasma and extracellular fluid. For the current study, the research team compared levels of fibulin-3 in two separate cohorts of patients who were exposed to asbestos through their jobs: a g...
The use of performance-enhancing drugs, such as protein injections, anabolic steroids, or erythropoietin (EPO) The following are medical conditions that can cause high red blood cell (RBC) counts: Polycythemia Vera (PV) This rare blood disease develops when the body produces too many red blood ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large family of receptors that activate intracellular signaling pathways upon detecting specific extracellular ligands. While many aspects of GPCR signaling have been uncovered through decades of studies,
First, the safety of human UC-MSC transplantation was assessed by pathological sections of various organs in mice and the measurement of comprehensive blood indicators, and the results showed that human UC-MSC transplantation was safe and reliable in mice (Additional file 1: Fig. S6). ...
Having a low BUN level is usually not serious. However, if you want to raise your levels, you should eat more protein and improve the health of your liver by drinking less alcohol and losing weight. Takeaways If your test results show high BUN levels, talk with your doctor about whether...
More recently, increased levels of HMGB1 mRNA have been detected in whole blood samples from patients with septic shock, particularly among nonsurvivors.101 Similarly, persistently high serum levels of HMGB1 protein have been detected in patients with septic shock and sepsis.102 Elevated circulating ...
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells and hematocrit is a measurement of the amount of red blood cells as related to total blood cell count. Both hemoglobin and hematocrit are used to diagnose anemia. Both hemoglobin and hematocrit can be measured from standard blood tests, and both value...
This analysis was limited to 270 blood protein GWASs with > 60% overlap with the LD-independent migraine SNPs. Full details of this analysis are provided in the Methods section. All correlation results are provided in Supplementary Data 2. Of the included 270 correlation tests, we found ...
