C3 and C4 Complement Levels in Iron Deficiency Anemia
Background and Objectives: Complement proteins are some of the most important plasma proteins of the innate immune system. Impaired immune function is reported in subjects who are iron deficient, and there are documents that these patients are prone to infection. This study was conducted to show whether serum C3 and C4 complement change in adult nonpregnant female with iron deficient anemia or ...
متن کاملEvolution of the complement system C3 gene in Antarctic teleosts.
Notothenioidei are typical Antarctic teleosts evolved to adapt to the very low temperatures of the Antarctic seas. Aim of the present paper is to investigate sequence and structure of C3, the third component of the complement system of the notothenioid Trematomus bernacchii and Chionodraco hamatus. We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of two C3 isoforms of T. bernacchii and a single C...
متن کاملSerum Lipids and Atherosclerosis
That hyperlipemia may be responsible for atherosclerosis has long been hypothecated on the grounds of what might be termed circumstantial evidence. The first experimental proof of this concept was provided by Anitschkow's demonstration in 1913 that atheroma can be produced in rabbits by feeding cholesterol. In recent years similar lesions have been induced by similar methods in five other speci...
متن کاملLipids and atherosclerosis
Atherosclerotic vascular disease is the cause of heart attacks, stroke, aortic aneurysms, and peripheral vascular disease, which together represent the most frequent causes of death in the industrialized world. Indeed, the aging of the population and the 'westernization' of world diet is predicted to increase the impact of atherosclerosis worldwide over the next few decades despite continuing a...
متن کاملPlasma lipids and atherosclerosis.
Hyperlipidaemia may be defined as the presence of excess lipid in the blood. It may be classified according to the nature of the lipids which are increased. A classification of hyperlipidaemia based on the fasting levels of cholesterol and triglyceride allows of three possible abnormal groups, which are shown in table I together with the corresponding classification according to Fredrickson as ...
