Association between high cystatin C levels and carotid atherosclerosis
AIM To investigate the association between carotid atherosclerosis and cystatin C (CysC) and to determine the optimal CysC cut-off value. METHODS One hundred twenty-eight subjects were included in this study. Atherosclerosis was defined as a maximum carotid plaque thickness (MCPT) of greater than 2 mm. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic val...

متن کاملHepatitis C virus core protein, lipid droplets and steatosis.
Lipid droplets are intracellular organelles involved not only in lipid storage but also in cell signalling and the regulation of intracellular vesicular trafficking. Recent basic studies have suggested that interactions between hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein and lipid droplets are required for the HCV infection cycle. In infected cells, the HCV core protein is associated with the surface ...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus core protein: intriguing properties and functional relevance.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) often causes a prolonged and persistent infection, and an association between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and HCV infection has been noted. The pathogenesis of liver damage is at least in part related to virus-mediated factors. Understanding the molecular basis of pathogenesis is a major challenge in gaining insight into HCV-associated disease progression. Recent expe...
