Sci Rep
. 2017 Apr;
7(1):1088.
PMID: 28439072
Hospitalized patients are at increased risk for acquiring healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and inadequate nutrition. The human intestinal microbiota plays vital functions in nutrient supply and protection from pathogens, yet characterization...

PMID: 24796372
Background: Glucose-6-phosphatase-β (G6PC3) deficiency is characterized by congenital neutropenia and variable developmental disorders, including those of the cardiovascular system and the urogenital system (e.g., cryptorchidism) and a peculiar visibility of...

Atherosclerosis
. 2011 Jul;
219(1):240-4.
PMID: 21722898
Objective: Vitamin E provides cardiovascular protection to individuals with diabetes and the haptoglobin 2-2 genotype but appears to increase cardiovascular risk in individuals with diabetes and the haptoglobin 2-1 genotype....

Antioxid Redox Signal
. 2009 Aug;
12(2):293-304.
PMID: 19659435
Haptoglobin is an abundant hemoglobin-binding protein present in the plasma. The function of haptoglobin is primarily to determine the fate of hemoglobin released from red blood cells after either intravascular...

Cardiovasc Diabetol
. 2009 Jun;
8:29.
PMID: 19490627
Background: We have recently demonstrated in man that a functional allelic polymorphism in the Haptoglobin (Hp) gene plays a major role in determining survival and congestive heart failure after myocardial...

Am J Physiol Renal Physiol
. 2009 Jan;
296(4):F830-8.
PMID: 19176700
Polymorphic loci regulating oxidative stress are potential susceptibility genes for diabetic nephropathy (DN). Haptoglobin (Hp) is an antioxidant protein which serves to protect against oxidative stress induced by extracorpuscular hemoglobin....

J Am Coll Cardiol
. 2007 Jan;
49(1):82-7.
PMID: 17207726
Objectives: We sought to understand the importance of oxidative stress in explaining why the haptoglobin (Hp) genotype determines myocardial infarction (MI) size in diabetes mellitus (DM). Background: Two common alleles...

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol
. 2006 Oct;
27(1):134-40.
PMID: 17068284
Objective: Intraplaque hemorrhage increases the risk of plaque rupture and thrombosis. The release of hemoglobin (Hb) from extravasated erythrocytes at the site of hemorrhage leads to iron deposition, which may...
