Alteration of serum biomarkers in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with and without atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between presence of atrial fibrillation and serum biomarkers, including native thiol (antioxidant), disulphide/native thiol ratio, Hs-CRP and high-sensitivity Troponin-I (Hs-TnI) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), was determined.

Alteration of thiol disulfide homeostasis and ischemia-modified albumin levels as indicators of oxidative status in patients with silicosis.

TL;DR: A novel colorimetric method is used to assess TDH in patients with silicosis by detecting dynamic thiol disulfide homeostasis (TDH), ischemia-modified albumin level (IMA) catalase (CAT) activity, and the correlation of these markers with pulmonary function tests.

Three asymmetric BODIPY derivatives as fluorescent probes for highly selective and sensitive detection of cysteine in living cells.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors designed and synthesized three new asymmetric fluorescent probes (BDP-S-Ph, BDP- S-ENE and BDPS-R) to discriminate Cys from Hcy/GSH.

Peroxynitrite oxidation of sulfhydryls. The cytotoxic potential of superoxide and nitric oxide.

TL;DR: Peroxynitrite anion was a less effective thiol-oxidizing agent than its anion, with oxidation presumably mediated by the decomposition products, hydroxyl radical and nitrogen dioxide.

Homocysteine and Cardiovascular Disease

TL;DR: In this article, an elevated level of total homocysteine (tHcy) in blood, denoted hyperhomocysteinemia, is emerging as a prevalent and strong risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease in the coronary, cerebral, and peripheral vessels, and for arterial and venous thromboembolism.

Albumin as a drug carrier: design of prodrugs, drug conjugates and nanoparticles.

TL;DR: This review gives an account of the different drug delivery systems which make use of albumin as a drug carrier with a focus on those systems that have reached an advanced stage of preclinical evaluation or that have entered clinical trials.
