ischemia/albumin

The blood-brain barrier breaks down following cerebral ischemia, but the exact sequence of events for extravasation of serum proteins and their parenchymal distribution remain uncertain. We studied the distribution of serum albumin in the hippocampus of the gerbil brain using light and electron

Albumin, the most abundant plasma protein, is known to exhibit a neuroprotective effect in animal models of focal and global cerebral ischemia. In the present study, the expression and immunoreactivity of albumin was examined in the hippocampus following 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia in

The aim of this study was to evaluate ischemia-modified albumin levels (IMA) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cases with and without insulin resistance and the correlation of IMA with carotid intima media thickness, homocysteine, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. Significantly

Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is assumed "N-terminal modified" albumin which is generated immediately following myocardial ischemia. The diagnosis of IMA is based on reduced cobalt binding affinity to albumin which is attributed mainly to incapability of cobalt to bind at albumin's modified

In this study, the levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in pediatric oncology patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) and neuroblastoma (NB) were analyzed. To date, there have been no studies concerning IMA in these groups of patients. Ninety-nine children with STSs and NB were analyzed from

BACKGROUND The relationship between ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and thyroid dysfunction remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the influence of overt hypothyroidism (Oho), overt hyperthyroidism (Ohe), and their treatments on serum IMA levels. METHODS A total of 35 untreated patients

BACKGROUND We evaluated albumin cobalt binding (ACB) assay also known as Ischaemia Modified Albumin (IMA) assay as a prognostic marker for severe malaria in a medical college setting. METHODS Consecutive adult patients admitted with both vivax and falciparum malaria were evaluated with ACB assay at

Impairment of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) after cerebral ischemia leads to extravasation of plasma constituents into the brain parenchyma. We describe a novel method using non-invasive near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging and bovine serum albumin labeled with a NIRF dye (NIRF-BSA) to detect

Postprandial lipemia is associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. Very little data exists regarding postprandial response in subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The current study was conducted within the LIPGENE EU Integrated Project. Patients were randomized to one of the four

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), lipids and inflammation biomarkers in patients with hypercholesterolemia, and the possible involvement of IMA in atheromatous plaque development and oxidative stress. METHODS Glucose, total

OBJECTIVE Our objective was to measure the circulating levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) among pregnant with hyperemesis gravidarum (HEG) and to compare their levels with age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched control pregnant women. METHODS The pregnant subjects were classified into the HEG

Infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) may suffer from severe hypoxia, asphyxia. In this study, we aimed to evaluate serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) level as a diagnostic marker for hypoxia in preterm infants with RDS. Thirty-seven premature newborns with RDS were allocated as the

Verification of the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) is based mostly on instrumental diagnostic techniques. Presently, there are no laboratory tests officially recommended for the diagnostics of myocardial ischemia (MI). Biochemical methods that would be able to verify MI in patients with

BACKGROUND In this article, we aimed to determine the diagnostic role of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in the evaluation of patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). METHODS Fifty-five patients with a diagnosis of DVT and 47 healthy subjects as the control group were included in the study. Blood
