Facts and recommendations about total homocysteine determinations: an expert opinion
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 2004)Background: Measurement of plasma total homocysteine has become common as new methods have been introduced. A wide range of disorders are associated with increased concentrations of total homocysteine. The purpose of this ... -
Fas/CD95-Induced Chemokines Can Serve as "Find-Me" Signals for Apoptotic Cells.
(2013)Apoptosis is commonly thought to represent an immunologically silent or even anti-inflammatory mode of cell death, resulting in cell clearance in the absence of explicit activation of the immune system. However, here ... -
A fast, simple and robust protocol for growing crystals in the lipidic cubic phase
(2012)A simple and inexpensive protocol for producing crystals in the sticky and viscous mesophase used for membrane protein crystallization by the in meso method is described. It provides crystals that appear within 15–30 min ... -
FLCN, a novel autophagy component, interacts with GABARAP and is regulated by ULK1 phosphorylation.
(2014)Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in the FLCN gene and characterized by benign hair follicle tumors, pneumothorax, and renal cancer. Folliculin (FLCN), the protein ... -
Fructose reprogrammes glutamine-dependent oxidative metabolism to support LPS-induced inflammation
(2021)Fructose intake has increased substantially throughout the developed world and is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Currently, our understanding of the metabolic and mechanistic ... -
Functional characterisation of the regulation of CAAT enhancer binding protein alpha by GSK-3 phosphorylation of Threonines 222/226
(BioMed Central, 2006)BACKGROUND: Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK3) activity is repressed following insulin treatment of cells. Pharmacological inhibition of GSK3 mimics the effect of insulin on Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase (PEPCK), ... -
A functional variant in MAL/TIRAP and protection against invasive pneumococcal disease, bacteraemia, malaria and tuberculosis
(2007)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and members of their signaling pathway are important in the initiation of the innate immune response to a wide variety of pathogens1, 2, 3. The adaptor protein Mal (also known as TIRAP), encoded ... -
Gating topology of the proton-coupled oligopeptide symporters
(2015)Peptide transport is the main route through which the body absorbs and retains dietary protein and hence plays an important role in human physiology (Steinhardt and Adibi, 1986). The combined action of acid hydrolysis in ... -
Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Avian Resistance to Campylobacter jejuni Colonization Identifies Risk Locus Spanning the CDH13 Gene
(2013)The enteropathogen Campylobacter jejuni is a major worldwide health and economic burden, being one of the leading causes of bacterial gastroenteritis and commonly linked to postinfectious onset of autoimmune disease. ... -
Genotype variation at the MSTN locus is associated with skeletal muscle Coenzyme Q level in untrained Thoroughbred horses.
(2019)In the finely-tuned athletic species of Thoroughbred horses, polymorphisms (Intro 1 SNP g.66493737C>T and SINE insertion 227bp in promoter) in the myostatin gene (MSTN), a pronounced inhibitor of skeletal muscle growth, ... -
Gliadin antibody detection in gluten enteropathy.
(1986)Circulating antigliadin antibody has been described in patients with gluten enteropathy although the prevalence varies in different studies. It has been suggested that the investigation for antigliadin antibody might be ...
