Serum Levels of Sialic Acid and Neuraminidase Activity in Cardiovascular, Diabetic and Diabetic Retinopathy Patients
Background: Sialic acid is a component of serum that is elevated in diseases such as diabetes and certain malignancies. The normal range of SSA concentration and serum neuraminidase activity in different populations are varied, probably due to racial differences. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to obtain the average SSA concentration and serum neuraminidase activity, in an Iran...
متن کاملSerum sialic acid concentration and cardiovascular mortality.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether serum sialic acid concentration may be used to predict short and long term cardiovascular mortality. DESIGN Prospective study on all men and women who had their serum sialic acid concentration measured as part of a general health survey in 1964 or in 1965. All were followed up for an average of 20.5 years. SETTING Geographical part of the county of Värmland, S...
متن کاملTotal and Free Serum Sialic Acid Concentration in Liver Diseases
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to compare the levels of total (TSA) and free (FSA) sialic acid in acute and chronic liver diseases. MaTERIALS AND METHODS: The serum TSA and FSA levels were determined in 278 patients suffering from acute and chronic liver diseases of different etiologies. TSA was estimated by enzymatic method and FSA by the thiobarbituric method modified by Skoza and...
متن کاملThe role of sialic acid synthases in sialic acid biosynthesis
Introduction The sialic acids comprise a diverse family of nine-carbon keto-sugars, the majority of which are structural derivatives of neuraminic acid (Fig. 1). Neuraminic acid has an amino moiety at the C-5 position, and carboxylate at C-2 which confers negative charge at physiological pH. Whereas unsubstituted neuraminic acid is not known to exist in nature, over 40 substituted variations (c...
متن کاملAssessment of Sialic Acid Distribution in Mouse Epididymis
Previous studies have shown that epididymal epithelium and its secretions are critical for sperm maturation. These secretions contain many glycoconjugates with sialic acid terminal sugar. This terminal sugar by interveining in cellular interactions and masking surface receptors, has an important role in sperm maturation and protection. Moreover lectins have been employed as useful probes to det...
