Serum homocysteine could be used as a predictive marker for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A meta-analysis
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)Background: Serum homocysteine (Hcy) level is inversely related with concentration of folic acid, which is an essential micronutrient for metabolism and energy homeostasis. Serum concentrations of Hcy have been reported ... -
Systematic review and meta-analysis confirms significant contribution of surfactant protein D in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)Background: Surfactant protein D (SFTPD) is a lung specific protein which performs several key regulatory processes to maintain overall lung function. Several infectious and immune mediated diseases have been shown to be ... -
Systematic review and meta-analysis to establish the association of common genetic variations in Vitamin D binding protein with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)Background: Vitamin-D binding protein (DBP) also known as GC protein, is a major determinant for vitamin- D metabolism and transport. GC1F, GC1S, and GC2 are the three allelic variants (denoted as rs4588 and rs7041) of GC, ...
