Association of salivary alpha 2‐macroglobulin levels and clinical characteristics in type 2 diabetes
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Studies suggest that salivary proteins can be used as potential non-invasive markers for clinical diagnosis and screening for diabetes. Previous reports showed that plasma alpha 2-macroglobulin (A2MG) levels were higher in diabetic patients, especially with diabetic complications. We investigated the relationship between salivary A2MG values and clinical characteristics in pat...
متن کاملHigh Serum Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Level in Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
Background: Diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is complicated due to the lack of reliable serum biomarkers. Up-regulation of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) gene has been reported in glucocorticoid-induced ANFH rat model. This study aimed to investigate whether the serum level of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) can be used for ONFH diagnosis. Methods: Serum protein capillary elect...
متن کاملAlpha-2-macroglobulin levels in disease in man.
Serum alpha(2)-macroglobulin levels were measured in normal subjects and in patients with various diseases by an immunochemical method. The values for normal men were 284 mg./100 ml. (+/-89.6 mg./100 ml.) and for normal women 350 mg./100 ml. (+/-94.5 mg./100 ml.). Men with rheumatoid arthritis had normal levels, but the levels in women were depressed. There was no relationship to the concentrat...
متن کاملEffects of oestrogen and progestogen on serum levels of alpha(2)-macroglobulin, transferrin, albumin, and IgG.
The levels of four serum proteins, assayed by a radial immunodiffusion technique, have been measured in healthy women who had been given either the oestrogen or progestogen component of a combined oral contraceptive preparation for three weeks. Raised alpha(2)-macroglobulin and transferrin levels were found after oestrogen treatment but albumin and IgG did not significantly alter. In the proges...
متن کاملEffect of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol supplementations on serum leptin, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and serum amyloid A levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Objective: Diabetes mellitus Type 2 is one of the most widespread chronic metabolic diseases. In most cases, this type of diabetes is associated with alterations in levels of some inflammatory cytokines and hormones. Considering anti-inflammatory properties of plant extracts rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), anti-diabetic properties of these two well-known anti...
