Conditions for the estimation of serum lactic dehydrogenase activity using the LKB 3600 reaction rate analyser and the range found in healthy subjects.

Stress and Atherogenesis: Smooth Muscle Cell Mitogenic Activity and other Biochemical Changes Associated with Sera of \"Stressed\" Subjects

The proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall (VSMC) is considered to play a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. To investigate the possible contribution of "stress" (experimentally-induced) to this process, blood from healthy volunteers, ages 21 to 65, screened to exclude major risk factors for coronary heart disease, was assayed for mitogenic activity after the sub...

Routine determination of 5' nucleotidase activity of human serum using the LKB 8600 reaction rate analyser.

Serum YKL-40 levels and disease characteristics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate serum YKL-40 levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to healthy subjects and to search whether there is an association between YKL-40 levels and disease characteristics in RA. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 60 RA patients based on the ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included. I...

IN VITRO EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY OF THYMUS KOTSCHYANUS HYDRO-ALCOHOLIC EXTRACTS AND ITS EFFECT ON SERUM PARAOXONASE 1 ACTIVITY IN DIABETIC AND HEALTHY PERSONS

Background: Thymus species have significant amounts of phenolic and flavonoid compounds and demonstrate strong antioxidant activities. Paraoxonase1 act as antioxidant enzyme and protect the low-density lipoprotein against oxidation. In our study we aimed to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of Thymus Kotschyanus Hydroalcoholic extract and its effect on serum paraoxonase 1 activity in healthy an...
