Lifestyle and health factors can also cause an increase in the red blood cell count. They include: Living at higher altitudes Cigarette smoking The use of performance-enhancing drugs, such as protein injections, anabolic steroids, or erythropoietin (EPO) The following are medical conditions that ...
Here, we show that dietary protein drives atherosclerosis and lesion complexity. Protein ingestion acutely elevates amino acid levels in blood and atherosclerotic plaques, stimulating macrophage mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling. This is causal in plaque progression, because the effects of ...
The types of monoclonal protein were: IgG for 90 patients, IgA for 58 patients, and light chain disease for 40 patients. Elevated LDH levels were observed for 45 cases (23.9%). Seventy-two patients (38.3%) presented with genetic abnormalities. The mean concentration of serum IL-10 for all...
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...
A high BUN test result may mean your kidneys aren't working well. Discuss with your doctor what could be causing the problem and plan your next steps. Other conditions that may affect your BUN level might include: A high-protein diet ...
qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of LRP1 and secretory factors in each subpopulation of human UC-MSCs on the 3rd and 6th days after sorting. The sorted human UC-MSCs subgroups were able to maintain their functionality for a period of time. Mean ± SD, n...

Obesity is a prominent risk factor for male infertility, and a high-fat diet is an important cause of obesity. Therefore, diet control can reduce body weight and regulate blood glucose and lipids, but it remains unclear whether it can improve male fertil
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 ...
For KGN cells exposed to insulin, IPA identified a cell proliferation-related factor, the yes associated protein 1 (YAP1), as a significant and activated (z-score = 2,438, p-value = 3,71E-02) upstream regulator; while a chemoattractant for macrophages, the colony-stimulating factor 1 (CS...
