Does hemoglobin Constant Spring exhibit prolonged ex vivo stability when assessed by HPLC?
Our results suggest that HbCS is stable many days after blood collection. Consequently, it is not necessary to analyze specimens immediately after collection when assessing the potential presence of this hemoglobin variant.
Our data demonstrate that RYGB significantly upregulated hepatic autophagy. We suggest that the effects of RYGB on autophagy in liver may be due to the increased GLP-1 level after surgery. Moreover, the activated autophagy in liver might play a key role in reducing the hepatic lipid overaccumulation after RYGB.
