(3) Serum Protein Abnormalities

14-3-3  Protein is Detectable in Blood Serum and Fetlock Joint Synovial Fluid of High Performance Horses

Objective: To investigate whether 14-3-3 eta protein is detectable in synovial fluid and blood serum of high performance horses and to study whether any significant correlation between this and matrix metalloproteinase 1 and 3 in horse synovial fluid. Design: Clinical study. Animals: Eleven standard breed horses (seven high performances and four controls). Procedures: Blood serum and fetlock...

EVALUATION OF SERUM CHITINASE-3 LIKE 1 PROTEIN AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE COMPARED TO DIABETIC AND HEALTHY CONTROL

Background: Diabetes mellitus, which is associated with elevated blood glucose, lipids and liver enzymes, may results in alterations in the production of inflammatory cytokines, including chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which induce and promote complications of diabetes such as atherosclerosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum ...

Protein-related abnormalities in keratoconus.

Two-dimensional electrophoretic maps of extracts from eleven normal and eleven keratoconus corneas were compared. Of the eleven corneas analyzed, eight were pooled and the remaining three were analyzed individually. Several differences were demonstrated between electrophoretic patterns of normal and keratoconus corneas. In keratoconus corneas, 1) two abnormal components (MW 54kD and 26kD) were ...

Congenital abnormalities in protein synthesis.

ADDRESS: (D.C.) 300 Longwood Avenue, Boston 15, Massachusetts. -1 JfOST, if not all, of congenital metabolic lvi disease may be attributed to abnormalities in protein synthesis. An error in protein synthesis can result in at least two basic types of disturbance-an actual deficit of a specific protein, or the production of abnormal forms of that protein. Because of the wide variety of functions ...
