The darkening is hastened by the addition of alkali to the urine and is reflected in the original term for homogentisic acid, alkapton, which refers to its avidity for alkali. ...
متن کاملMass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of Kashin-Beck disease.
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a degenerative osteoarticular disease of unknown etiology. The management of KBD would benefit from the identification of the biomarkers related to this disease. In this study, mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic profiling was used to identify potential biomarkers of the disease. One hundred and sixteen serum samples of KBD cases and healthy controls were collect...
متن کاملKashin-Beck disease--expanding the spectrum of iodine-deficiency disorders.
Selenium, as selenocysteine, is an integral component of two important enzymes — glutathione peroxidase and iodothyronine deiodinase — that are present in many tissues, including the thyroid gland. Glutathione peroxidase catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, thereby protecting against oxidative damage. Iodothyronine deiodinase catalyzes the deiodination of thyroxine to triiodothyronine,...
متن کاملPrevalence of hand osteoarthritis and knee osteoarthritis in Kashin-Beck disease endemic areas and non Kashin-Beck disease endemic areas: A status survey
