Mothers with healthy babies had breast milk full of carbohydrates that contained a chemical called
sialic acid, the team reports in the Feb.
Lung collagen hydroxyproline, uronic acid, hexosamine, serum
sialic acid, [gamma]-glutamyl transpeptidase, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), granulocyte monocyte colony-stimulating factor and other cytokine levels were significantly lowered in the treated group of animals.
The levels of protein-bound
sialic acid (PBSA), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PCO), vitamin B12, and folic acid in maternal serum were measured.
###Neuraminidase and
Sialic Acid in saliva of OSCC patients.
The GlcNAc residues can be extended with additional monosaccharide linkages involving galactose, fucose, or
sialic acid residues.
Hemagglutinin binds to
sialic acid, a sugar moiety on the surface of many cells.
Tamiflu and another anti-influenza drug, Relenza, focus on interrupting neuraminidase's ability to help influenza detach from an infected cell's surface by digesting
sialic acid, a sugar on the surface of the cell.
Nevertheless, these studies have been restricted to gangliosides containing the N-acetylated variant of
sialic acid (NeuAc) [24, 25].
To account for any cell-culture induced mutations,
sialic acid (SA) binding affinities of both MDCK cell- and embryonated hens' egg-grown stocks of Ca/CO-1, Ca/WY, Ca/CO-2, and Eq/CO were determined using a solid-phase binding assay [31, 32], with slight modification of the original protocol to equilibrate the viruses assayed to ~20,000 matrix gene copies [33, 34].
Serum total
sialic acid is a marker of acute phase response.
