isoleucine/infarction

OBJECTIVE The influence of substitution with two different amino acid solutions on changes in plasma amino acids were studied in patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS Thirty consecutive patients admitted to an intensive care unit were included in this open, nonrandomized study. The

BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is a complex multifactorial and polygenic disorder that is thought to result from interaction between genetic make-up and various environmental factors. We previously identified a missense mutation, methionine (ATG) to isoleucine (ATC) at nucleotide 1023

BACKGROUND Heart-protecting musk pill (HMP), a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, has extensive cardioprotective effects against angina pectoris and myocardial infarction (MI), but the molecular mechanism behind such cardio protective effects still remains unclear. In this article, we aim to

ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most common global causes of cardiovascular disease-related death. Several metabolites may change during STEMI. Hence, analysis of metabolites in body fluid may be considered as a rapid and accurate test for initial diagnosis. This

The aim of the study was to discover the metabolomic changes in plasma that occur during human Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) injury and to evaluate the diagnostic utility of plasma metabolomic biomarkers for determination of myocardial injury. Deciphering the details of plasma metabolome in ST-segment

Acute and chronic ischaemic diseases are among the main death reasons and civilized world menace. Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs): valine (Val), leucine (Leu), and isoleucine (Ile) are the main source of nitrogen to glutamine (Gln) and alanine (Ala) synthesis in muscles. In numerous

BACKGROUND The application of information encoded in molecular networks for prognostic purposes is a crucial objective of systems biomedicine. This approach has not been widely investigated in the cardiovascular research area. Within this area, the prediction of clinical outcomes after suffering a

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and branched-chain α-keto acids (BCKAs) play significant biological roles as they are involved in protein and neurotransmitter synthesis as well as energy metabolism pathways. To routinely and accurately study the dynamics of BCAAs and BCKAs in human diseases, e.g.

Ca(2+) is the main trigger for mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening, which plays a key role in cardiomyocyte death after ischemia-reperfusion. We investigated whether a reduced accumulation of mitochondrial Ca(2+) might explain the attenuation of lethal reperfusion injury by

An automated method based on a hyphenated SPE-LC-MS/MS configuration has been optimized for the determination of essential amino acids (threonine, valine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine) in human serum, with the aim of discriminating between different states

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the relationship between beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (B2AR) Ile164 polymorphism and coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND B2ARs are crucial to the regulation of vascular tone, and neoangiogenesis is impaired in the presence of isoleucine at position 164 (Ile164)

The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of the endothelial lipase (EL) gene 584C/T variant, which results in a change at codon 111 of the EL gene from threonine to isoleucine, on the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Chinese population. The study population consisted of 265

Five infants from 3 families, one Egyptian, two Yemeni, are described with a progressive encephalopathy, four of whom have been studied in detail. All patients showed vascular lesions of the skin, characterized by waxing and waning petechiae and ecchymoses. Acrocyanosis was present in three

The effects of growth hormone treatment and dietary alanine supplementation, individually and in combination, were studied in five patients with organic acidemias. Three patients had propionic acidemia, one had 3-hydroxyisobutyric acidemia, and one had a defect in isoleucine metabolism. Two patients
