Article Synopsis
- Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) includes conditions like myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina (UA), but diagnosing them early remains challenging due to delayed elevation of cardiac markers like troponin.
- A study analyzed the potential of serum nardilysin (NRDC) as a biomarker for early ACS detection by involving two patient cohorts, finding that NRDC levels were significantly higher in ACS patients compared to those without.
- The study showed that NRDC had better sensitivity for ACS diagnosis within 6 hours of symptom onset than traditional markers and could aid in diagnosing patients who test negative for troponin, strengthening its role when used alongside hsTnI.
Curcumin may induce lipolysis via proteo-stress in Huh7 human hepatoma cells.
J Clin Biochem Nutr
September 2019
Curcumin has been shown to have anti-obesity effects in animal studies. Although several molecular mechanisms of action have been reported, the initial or upstream molecular events remain to be revealed. In this study, we found that curcumin or heat shock treatment up-regulated the expression of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in Huh7 hepatoma cells, which resulted in acceleration of lipolysis.
