چکیده

1. alpha 2HS-glycoprotein accumulates in bone and dentine and its plasma levels could vary in conditions in which the rate of bone formation is altered. 2. The plasma concentration of this protein was found to be lower in thirteen children suffering from protein-energy malnutrition compared with age-matched healthy preschool children. 3. This finding might be associated with the phenomenon of stunting in protein-energy malnutrition.

Alpha 2HS-glycoprotein in the serum and urine of patients with renal diseases.

The concentration of alpha 2HS-glycoprotein (alpha 2HS-GP), as measured by the single radial immunodiffusion technique in the sera of 52 patients with various renal diseases and varying degrees of proteinuria, was found to be significantly reduced (P less than 0.001) when compared to the control values. Out of the 52 patients examined, 34 were found to excrete alpha 2HS-GP in urine with no corr...

The complete cDNA and amino acid sequence of bovine fetuin. Its homology with alpha 2HS glycoprotein and relation to other members of the cystatin superfamily.

The cDNA sequence encoding the bovine fetal protein fetuin is reported. The deduced amino acid sequence is identical with that obtained from amino acid sequencing. The protein is a single chain preceded by a signal sequence. The three N-linked glycosylation sites have been determined. The sequence of fetuin shows over 70% similarity to human alpha 2HS glycoprotein. All of the cysteine residues ...

Effects of soluble TNF receptor II (sTNF-RII), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), tumor load and hypermetabolism on malnutrition in children with acute leukemia.

OBJECTIVE Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor II (sTNF-RII) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) might modulate nutritional status in acute leukemia since they are inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 that can induce tissue wasting. On the other hand, tumor load and hypermetabolism may induce malnutrition. We determined whether serum levels of sTNF-RII and IL...

Protein-Energy Malnutrition Developing after Global Brain Ischemia Induces an Atypical Acute-Phase Response and Hinders Expression of GAP-43

Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a common post-stroke problem. PEM can independently induce a systemic acute-phase response, and pre-existing malnutrition can exacerbate neuroinflammation induced by brain ischemia. In contrast, the effects of PEM developing in the post-ischemic period have not been studied. Since excessive inflammation can impede brain remodeling, we investigated the effect...

Butyrylcholinesterase as a prognostic marker: a review of the literature

BACKGROUND Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an α-glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. Its serum level decreases in many clinical conditions such as acute and chronic liver damage, inflammation, injury and infections, and malnutrition. METHODS AND RESULTS This review collects the main evidence on the emerging role of butyrylcholinesterase as a prognostic marker of liver and nonliver diseases ...
