ABSTRACT Chitin is an important cell wall component of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia, of which hundreds are inhaled on a daily basis. Previous studies have shown that chitin has both anti- and proinflammatory properties; however the exact mechanisms

Serum procalcitonin (ProCT) is elevated in response to bacterial infections, whereas high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a nonspecific inflammatory marker that is increased by excess adipose tissue. We examined the efficacy of ProCT and hs

Prior studies have demonstrated that the prohormone, procalcitonin (ProCT), and its component calcitonin precursors (CTpr) are increased in the serum of septic patients, correlate with the severity of the illness, and persist for relatively long peri

The measurement of plasma CT has an important role as a screening test for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in patients with thyroid nodules. However, elevated plasma CT levels should be interpreted within the context of the overall clinical picture

Immunoneutralization of procalcitonin (ProCT), a putative mediator of sepsis, has been shown to increase survival in an animal model of sepsis. To better understand the role that ProCT plays in the sepsis cascade, we studied the relationship of this

Periodontitis and type 2 diabetes are co-morbid conditions, both characterized by infectious susceptibility. We investigated procalcitonin (ProCT) levels in the serum and saliva of persons with periodontitis and type 2 diabetes (n = 20), to determine

Calcitonin precursors (CTpr), including procalcitonin, are important markers and also potentially harmful mediators in response to microbial infections. The source and function of CTpr production in sepsis, however, remains an enigma. In the classica
