To discriminate between the effects of infection and of anorexia associated with infection, liver albumin synthesis was measured in well-fed rats, in rats injected with live Escherichia coli and in pair-fed rats at different stages of the inflammatory response (1, 6 and 10 days after infection)
BACKGROUND
Serum albumin concentration is a balance among its synthesis rate, fractional catabolic rate (FCR), distribution, dilution in the plasma pool and external loss. The physiologic bases for establishing the level of serum albumin in hemodialysis patients have not been defined despite the
Hyperoxidized albumin promotes inflammation and modulates several immune cells in severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH). Platelets mediate inflammation by interacting with immune cells, endothelium, and other cells. The role of hyperoxidized albumin in platelet activation and alteration of platelet
Hypoalbuminemia, a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients, can be a consequence of a combination of malnutrition and inflammatory reactions. The purpose of this study was to analyze serum albumin as a marker of nutritional status in maintenance hemodialysis patients
Zhen-wu-tang (ZWT), a traditional Chinese compound formula recorded in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, has significant inhibitory effects on inflammatory damage and oxidative lesions in rats, but its mechanism of action remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to explore whether the
Every day, hundreds of millions of people worldwide take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), often in conjunction with multiple other medications. In the bloodstream, NSAIDs are mostly bound to serum albumin (SA). We report the crystal structures of equine serum albumin complexed with
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), lipids and inflammation biomarkers in patients with hypercholesterolemia, and the possible involvement of IMA in atheromatous plaque development and oxidative stress.
METHODS
Glucose, total
Serum pseudocholinesterase (PCHE) activity and serum albumin concentration have been used as markers for inflammatory activity as well as malnutrition in Crohn's disease (CD) with controversial results. Therefore we investigated the valence of both proteins as markers of inflammation and/or
Proteinuria and tubulointerstitial inflammation (TII) correlate with progression to renal failure in human glomerulonephritis. Various forms of experimental nephrotic syndrome are associated with TII. To study the genesis of TII, we utilized the model of albumin overload. Rats received
Intradermal injections of killed Escherichia coli are known to cause a variety of pathophysiological changes in the microcirculation that facilitate the extravasation of plasma constituents into the interstitium. In an attempt to learn more of the factors that regulate the magnitude and duration of
BACKGROUND
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is characterized by a hypercatabolic state induced by inflammatory mediators. Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) stabilizes the internal environment but also aggravates loss of amino acids. The effect of CVVH on protein dynamics
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of an early, short-term albumin infusion on mesenteric microcirculation and global hemodynamics in hemorrhagic shock.
METHODS
A prospective, randomized study.
METHODS
Animal laboratory at a university medical clinic.
METHODS
Seventeen Sprague-Dawley rats weighing
OBJECTIVE
Several studies have reported a significant association of metabolic syndrome with urinary albumin excretion, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, or chronic kidney disease; however, no study has investigated the association of metabolic syndrome with these 3 factors together in the same
Liver slices from normal rats and those suffering from inflammation for 24-48 h were incubated with L-[-14C]leucine or D-[-14C]glucosamine. Immunological techinques coupled with radioautography indicated that the microsome fraction prepared from slices contained the subcellular site of synthesis of
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is considered a chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disease with unknown etiology. Oxidative stress has been demonstrated to play a critical role in the pathophysiology of IBD. We aimed to investigate the effect of the ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and
