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 ...

Complement C3 and C4 and Metabolic Syndrome

The complement system is part of the innate immune system and plays a role in regulating inflammation. Increased inflammation is engaged in the development of adult cardiometabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Adipose tissue not only produces complement but is also a potential target for complement activity. Obese adults and adults with c...

Phosphorus responses of C3 and C4 species

An hypothesis was formulated that phosphorus (P) partitioning in tissues of C4 leaves would permit C4 plants to resist P deficiency better than C3 plants. To test this hypothesis, 12 C3, C4, and C3-C4 intermediate species were grown at adequate, deficient, and severely deficient P supply in a solid-phase-buffered sand culture system to characterize photosynthetic and growth responses. Species d...

Photosynthesis of C3, C3–C4, and C4 grasses at glacial CO2

Most physiology comparisons of C3 and C4 plants are made under current or elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 which do not reflect the low CO2 environment under which C4 photosynthesis has evolved. Accordingly, photosynthetic nitrogen (PNUE) and water (PWUE) use efficiency, and the activity of the photosynthetic carboxylases [Rubisco and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC)] and decarb...
