Journal ArticleDOI
The Multiple Functions of Hemoglobin
TL;DR: Several parallel biological functions of hemoglobin besides its basic function of oxygen transport are discussed and hemoglobin as source of physiological active catabolites is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facts and artifacts in proteomics of body fluids. What proteomics of saliva is telling us
TL;DR: Several technological and analytical problems and pitfalls that had to be surmounted during studies focussed on the extensive qualitative and quantitative characterization of salivary peptidoma and mainly based on LC-MS analyses of intact naturally occurring peptides are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
1H NMR spectra of normal urines: reference ranges of the major metabolites.
Cecilia Zuppi,Irene Messana,Franca Forni,Cristina Rossi,Lucia Pennacchietti,Franco Ferrari,Bruno Giardina +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this report is to define standard conditions for this analytical technique and to calculate confidence intervals for the major metabolites in normal urine samples, such as preliminary and mandatory stages for clinical diagnostic 1H NMR utilization.
Journal Article

TL;DR: The characterization by proteomic approaches of new salivary markers in oncology, head and neck carcinoma, breast and gastric cancers, salvary gland function and disease, Sjögren syndrome, systemic sclerosis, dental and gingival pathology, systemic, psychiatric and neurological diseases, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human erythrocyte metabolism is modulated by the O2-linked transition of hemoglobin
Irene Messana,Mario Orlando,Loredana Cassiano,Lucia Pennacchietti,Cecilia Zuppi,Massimo Castagnola,Massimo Castagnola,Bruno Giardina +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis of a modulation of the relative rates of PPP and glycolysis achieved through competition between deoxy‐hemoglobin (deoxy‐Hb) and Glycolytic enzymes for the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 is supported.
