Bei Haptoglobin (Hp) handelt es sich um ein Transport- und Akute-Phase-Protein (Eiweiß), das im Blutplasma vorkommt. Es zählt zur Gruppe der Alpha-2-Globuline. Haptoglobin erfüllt die Aufgabe, ...

A haptoglobin test measures the amount of haptoglobin in your blood. Haptoglobin is a protein produced by your liver. It binds with hemoglobin, which is a protein found in red blood cells. Red blood ...

Levels of haptoglobin in serum may help predict which patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria will achieve complete ...

Alzheimer’s disease risk associated with the APOE gene just got even more complicated. In a bioRxiv preprint uploaded September 23, researchers led by William Bush, Case Western Reserve University, ...

Nitric oxide (NO) has an important role in the hemodynamic changes found during healthy pregnancy. 1 Increased heart rate, plasma volume and cardiac output over the course of a normal pregnancy are ...

"What we see in our new research is how the unique structure of CD163 enables the body to effectively recognise, bind and take up the haptoglobin-haemoglobin complex. This is an important breakthrough ...

Patients who survive a cerebral hemorrhage may suffer delayed severe brain damage caused by free hemoglobin, which comes from red blood cells and damages neurons. Researchers at the University of ...

Researchers have found that some preterm babies born without haptoglobin, a protein in blood cells, have higher odds of brain bleeding, cerebral palsy and death. Their findings suggest that the ...

The Hp subtypes of 29 Finnish families with 74 children and 42 healthy blood donors of haptoglobin type 1-1 were investigated. Frequencies of 0.140 for the Hp¹F and 0.222 for the Hp¹s genes were ...

There are no reliable blood biomarkers to detect early lung cancer. We used a novel strategy that allows discovery of differentially present proteins against a complex and variable background. Mass ...

Despite great research efforts, until now it has not been possible to prevent serious consequences of bleeding in the subarachnoid space. Researchers have now discovered a protective protein in the ...
