survivorship. The quality of life in sepsis survivors is adversely affected by several co …

Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity diminishes HDL-cholesterol levels
and thus may increase atherosclerosis risk. Experimental evidence suggests CETP may …

Introduction Pathogenesis of cutaneous leishmaniases involves parasite growth, persistent

Introduction Early diagnosis of sepsis and discrimination from SIRS is crucial for clinicians to
provide appropriate care, management and treatment to critically ill patients. We describe …

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is known to influence HDL-C levels, potentially
altering the profile of HDL subfractions and consequently cardiovascular risk (CVR). This …

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and find the molecular mechanism related to …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is considered to be an important contributor of
dyslipidemia. However, there lacks observational studies focusing on the potential effect of …

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) increases the atherosclerosis risk by lowering HDL-
cholesterol levels. It also exhibits tissue-specific effects independent of HDL. However …

Purpose Necroptosis plays an essential role in oncogenesis and tumor progression in
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to investigate the role of necroptosis in …
