Genetic Associations Of The Response To Inhaled Corticosteroids In Asthma: A Systematic Review
(2019)
There is wide variability in the response to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in asthma. While some of this heterogeneity of response is due to adherence and environmental causes, genetic variation also influences response ...
Dual Role of Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 5 on Endothelial Cell Fate: A Potential Link Between Lipid Metabolism and Angiogenic Responses
(Springer, 2016)
Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) are small molecular mass intracellular lipid chaperones that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner with some overlaps. FABP4 and FABP5 share similar to 55 % amino acid sequence homology ...
The Role Of Scca1 In Asthma Related Physiological Events In The Airway Epithelium And The Effect Of Promoter Variants On Asthma And Gene Function
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2013)
Background: Even though the systemic level of SCCA1, a serine protease inhibitor, was shown to be elevated in asthma, its physiological role is unknown. Objective: We sought to determine the effect of SCCA1 on apoptosis, ...
The Effects of an Insertion in the 5 ' Utr of the Amcase on Gene Expression and Pulmonary Functions
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2011)
Background: Studies regarding the physiological role of acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase) and the effects of its genetic variants on asthma have produced conflicting results. Objectives: We aimed to determine the genetic ...
Lepr, Adbr3, Irs-1 And 5-Htt Genes Polymorphisms Do Not Associate with Obesity
(Japan Endocrine Society, 2007)
Obesity is a growing problem and is associated with numerous medical conditions. In several genes coding for molecules involved in the regulation of body weight (fat mass) and thermogenesis, polymorphisms have been reported ...
