Plasma cotinine is positively associated with homocysteine in smokers but not in users of smokeless tobacco
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is a risk marker, and smoking is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is unclear if the effect of smoked tobacco on homocysteine is mediated by nicotine or other ... -
Plasma cystathionine and risk of incident stroke in patients with suspected stable angina pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Background: Cystathionine is an intermediate product in the transsulfuration pathway and formed during the B6‐dependent conversion of methionine to cysteine. Elevated plasma cystathionine has been related to atherosclerosis, ... -
Plasma Glycine and Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Suspected Stable Angina Pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background Glycine is an amino acid involved in antioxidative reactions, purine synthesis, and collagen formation. Several studies demonstrate inverse associations of glycine with obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. ... -
Plasma growth differentiation factor-15 is an independent marker for aggressive disease in endometrial cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objective: Better biomarkers are needed in order to identify patients with endometrial carcinoma at risk of recurrence and who may profit from a more aggressive treatment regimen. Our objective was to explore the applicability ... -
Plasma levels of interleukin 27 in falciparum malaria is increased independently of co-infection with HIV: potential immune-regulatory role during malaria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background The immune response during falciparum malaria mediates both harmful and protective effects on the host; however the participating molecules have not been fully defined. Interleukin (IL)-27 is a pleiotropic ... -
Plasma methylmalonic acid predicts risk of acute myocardial infarction and mortality in patients with coronary heart disease: A prospective 2-cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Elevated plasma methylmalonic acid (MMA) is reported in patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD) and is considered a marker of vitamin B12 deficiency. Moreover, MMA-dependent reactions have been ... -
Plasma parasitemia as assessed by quantitative PCR in relation to clinical disease severity in African adults with falciparum malaria with and without HIV co-infection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Purpose When considering malaria disease severity, estimation of parasitemia in erythrocytes is important, but sometimes misleading, since the infected erythrocytes may be sequestered in peripheral capillaries. In African ... -
Plasma protein biomarkers for the detection of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and differentiation from small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)There is an unmet need for novel biomarkers to diagnose and monitor patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms. The EXPLAIN study explores a multi-plasma protein and supervised machine learning strategy to improve the diagnosis ... -
Plasma proteins elevated in severe asthma despite oral steroid use and unrelated to Type-2 inflammation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Rationale Asthma phenotyping requires novel biomarker discovery. Objectives To identify plasma biomarkers associated with asthma phenotypes by application of a new proteomic panel to samples from two well-characterised ... -
Plasma tumour necrosis factor correlates with mRNA expression of tumour necrosis factor and mitochondrial transcription factors in skeletal muscle in patients with chronic heart failure treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy: potential role in myopathy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by inflammation and skeletal muscle myopathy, including impaired fibre type distribution and reduced capillary density, reduced cytochrome oxidase activity and reduced mitochondrial ... -
Plasma-Metanephrines in Patients with Autoimmune Addison’s Disease with and without Residual Adrenocortical Function
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-22)Purpose: Residual adrenocortical function, RAF, has recently been demonstrated in one-third of patients with autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD). Here, we set out to explore any influence of RAF on the levels of plasma ... -
Platelet functionality in cold-stored whole blood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Whole blood is currently being reintroduced as a blood product to be used in massive bleeding situations because it affords plasma, red cells and platelets in a balanced ratio and in a logistical advantageous way. Questions ... -
Platelet microparticles decrease daunorubicin‐induced dna damage and modulate intrinsic apoptosis in thp‐1 cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Platelets can modulate cancer through budding of platelet microparticles (PMPs) that can transfer a plethora of bioactive molecules to cancer cells upon internalization. In acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) this can induce ... -
Platelet Microparticles Protect Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Cells against Daunorubicin-Induced Apoptosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The role of platelets in cancer development and progression is increasingly evident, and several platelet–cancer interactions have been discovered, including the uptake of platelet microparticles (PMPs) by cancer cells. ... -
Platelets for advanced drug delivery in cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: Cancer-related drug expenses are rising with the increasing cancer incidence and cost may represent a severe challenge for drug access for patients with cancer. Consequently, strategies for increasing therapeutic ... -
Pleckstrin Levels Are Increased in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis and Regulated via the MAP Kinase-p38α Signaling Pathway in Gingival Fibroblasts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a bacteria-driven inflammatory disease characterized by the breakdown of gingival tissue, the periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, leading ultimately to tooth loss. We previously reported ... -
