guanidine and Amyloidosis

guanidine has been researched along with Amyloidosis in 10 studies

Guanidine: A strong organic base existing primarily as guanidium ions at physiological pH. It is found in the urine as a normal product of protein metabolism. It is also used in laboratory research as a protein denaturant. (From Martindale, the Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed and Merck Index, 12th ed) It is also used in the treatment of myasthenia and as a fluorescent probe in HPLC.
guanidine : An aminocarboxamidine, the parent compound of the guanidines.

Amyloidosis: A group of sporadic, familial and/or inherited, degenerative, and infectious disease processes, linked by the common theme of abnormal protein folding and deposition of AMYLOID. As the amyloid deposits enlarge they displace normal tissue structures, causing disruption of function. Various signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the deposits.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Potassium permanganate reaction, immunohistochemical assay using immune sera, and autoclave method combined with alkaline guanidine one are considered to be the most effective methods among those designed for verifying forms (primary, secondary, hereditary, senile systemic) of systemic amyloidosis."3.67[Methods for verifying forms of amyloidosis by a pathologist]. ( Zykova, LD, 1989)
"The immunoperoxidase method, the autoclave method, and a newly developed alkaline-guanidine method were used to distinguish senile (SSA) and familial types (FAP) of prealbumin-related amyloidosis in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections."3.67Novel histochemical approaches to the prealbumin-related senile and familial forms of systemic amyloidosis.
