Serum chitotriosidase activity is increased in subjects with atherosclerosis disease.
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to analyze the relation between serum activity of chitotriosidase enzyme, a protein synthesized exclusively by activated macrophages, and atherosclerotic lesion extent in subjects with atherothrombotic stroke (ATS) and in subjects with ischemic heart disease (IHD). METHODS AND RESULTS We assayed the serum chitotriosidase activity and a common chitotriosidas...
متن کاملIs Sudden Hearing Loss Associated with Atherosclerosis?
Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing-loss (SSNHL) patients constitute approximately 2–3% of referrals to ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinics. Several predisposing factors have been proposed for this condition; one of which is vascular disorders and perfusion compromise. In this research the atherosclerotic changes and their known risk factors are studied in SSNHL patients. Materials and ...
متن کاملSerum soluble heat shock protein 60 is elevated in subjects with atherosclerosis in a general population.
BACKGROUND Work from our laboratory has proven that increased titers of anti-heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) antibodies are associated with atherosclerosis and that HSP60-reactive T-cells are present in atherosclerotic lesions. Recent studies from others demonstrated that HSP60 directly activates endothelial cells and macrophages. METHODS AND RESULTS To explore the possibility that HSP60 exists...
متن کاملIncreased chitotriosidase activity in plasma of patients with type 2 diabetes
INTRODUCTION Chitotriosidase (CHIT1) is a chitinolytic enzyme involved mainly in the immune and inflammatory response. It shows increased activity in many pathologies, including in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to investigate this enzyme's activity in plasma of patients with ongoing T2D and indicate factors related to the increased activity of this enzyme. MATERIAL A...
