We investigated how one calcitriol dose plus vitamin D3 reverses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a multiple sclerosis model. This protocol rapidly increased CD4+ T cell Ikzf2 transcripts, Helios protein, and CD4+Helios+FoxP3+ T regulatory cells. It also rapidly increased CD4+ T

Elevated concentration of homocysteine (Hcy) in human plasma, defined as hyperhomocysteinemia has been correlated with some diseases, such as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and kidney disorders. Homocysteine occurs in human plasma in several forms, including the most reactive form of Hcy -

Elevated levels of homocysteine (Hcy) are associated with cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases in humans. Hcy becomes a component of human proteins as a result of N-homocysteinylation of protein lysine residues by Hcy-thiolactone, which affects the protein's structure and function, and

In the current study both structural alteration and fibrillation of insulin were studied in the presence of homocysteine thiolactone (HCTL). The spectroscopic studies revealed that HCTL increases rate of insulin unfolding, giving rise to the appearance of solvent-exposed hydrophobic regions
