Periostin

Periostin (POSTN, PN, or osteoblast-specific factor OSF-2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POSTN gene. Periostin functions as a ligand for alpha-V/beta-3 and alpha-V/beta-5 integrins to support adhesion and migration of epithelial cells. Periostin is a gla domain vitamin K dependent factor.

Cancer Risk: Acrylamide AGEs

Minimizing Cancer Risk: Understanding the Relationship Between Acrylamide, Advanced Glycation End Products, and Cooking Tips Tweet Follow @AZSPerformance In recent years, concerns about cancer risk associated with dietary choices have gained significant attention. Researchers have identified two substances, acrylamide and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), that are formed during certain cooking processes and have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. In this article, we will explore the connection between acrylamide, AGEs, and cancer, as well as provide practical tips to help you reduce your exposure to these potentially harmful compounds. Acrylamide and Cancer Risk: Acrylamide is a chemical compound that forms naturally during high-temperature cooking methods, such as frying, baking, and roasting. It is commonly found in foods like potato ...

Erythropoietin

Erythropoietin (/ɪˌrɪθroʊˈpɔɪ.ɪtɪn, -rə-, -pɔɪˈɛtɪn, -ˈiːtɪn/; EPO), also known as erythropoetin , haematopoietin , or haemopoietin , is a glycoprotein cytokine secreted mainly by the kidney in response to cellular hypoxia; it stimulates red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in the bone marrow. Low levels of EPO (around 10 mU/mL) are constantly secreted sufficient to compensate for normal red blood cell turnover. Common causes of cellular hypoxia resulting in elevated levels of EPO (up to 10 000 mU/mL) include any anemia, and hypoxemia due to chronic lung disease. Erythropoietin is produced by interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney in close association with the peritubular capillary and proximal convoluted tubule. It is also produced in perisinusoidal cells in the liver. Liver production predominates in the fetal and perinatal period; renal production predominates in adulthood. It is homologous with thrombopoietin. Exogenous erythropoietin, recombinant human erythropo...
