Serum Calprotectin Level as an Inflammatory Marker in Newly Diagnosed Hypertensive Patients by Nergiz Bayrakci, Gülsüm Ozkan, Sonat Pinar Kara, Ahsen Yilmaz, Savas Guzel

“…There was no correlation between serum calprotectin levels and other parameters (blood pressure values, age, gender, serum creatinine, uric acid, and calcium levels) in the hypertensive group. A lower serum calprotectin level was found to be independently related to hypertension (β = −0.009, p=0.005). …”

Heiberg, Merete Lund Hetland, Michael Nurmohamed, Till Uhlig, Tuulikki Sokka‐Isler, Anna Rudin, Cristina Maglio

“…Results At baseline, levels of adiponectin and leptin were not associated with markers of RA activity, whereas participants with higher resistin levels had higher C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels, swollen joint count, and Disease Activity Score in 28 joints based on CRP compared to participants with lower resistin. Overall, participants with baseline adipokine levels above the median and those with adipokine levels below the median had similar mean CDAI and changes in CDAI throughout follow‐up for up to 48 weeks. …”

Methanotroph-methylotroph lipid adaptations to changing environmental conditions by Nora Richter, Laura Villanueva, Laura Villanueva, Ellen C. Hopmans, Nicole J. Bale, Jaap S. Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S. Sinninghe Damsté, Darci Rush

“…In contrast, in the Methylovulum psychrotolerans culture, the relative abundance of unsaturated BHPs increased and ubiquinone 8:8 (UQ8:8) decreased at lower temperatures. The distinct changes in lipid composition between the Methylobacter-Methylotenera enrichment and the psychrotolerant methanotroph at different growth temperatures and the ability of the Methylobacter-Methylotenera enrichment to grow at high salinities with a singular BHP distribution, suggests that methane-cycling microbes have unique lipid responses that enable them to grow even under high environmental stress.…”
