Methionine and lysine are two amino acids which have been suggested to be potentially limiting milk and milk component production by dairy cows. If true, this means that high producing dairy cows need ...

Calcification is the deposition of calcium into the neointima (within atherosclerotic plaque) and/or the tunica media (the medial smooth muscle layer) of the blood vessels, and can occur with ...

There are a paucity of data in the literature regarding the natural history in patients with subclavian artery occlusive disease. The left subclavian artery is more frequently involved than the ...

Subclinical CAD (coronary artery calcium [CAC]) was measured by cardiac computed tomography. All other risk factors were measured in the standard fashion. Composite CAD events (acute myocardial ...

This useful study reports a method to detect and analyze a novel post-translational modification, lysine acetoacetylation (Kacac), finding it regulates protein metabolism pathways. The study unveils ...

Methods development for the identification of lysine acetoacetylation. (A) Biosynthetic pathways for lysine acetoacetylation (Kacac) and proposed detection methods of Kacac. (B) Dot blot assay ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics might interact with the plaque that causes heart attacks and strokes. A new study found high levels of plastic in the arterial plaque of stroke and vision-loss patients.

Summary: Micronanoplastics—tiny plastic particles from environmental sources—were found in much higher concentrations in the arteries of people with plaque-related stroke symptoms compared to those ...
