Relationship Between Total and Lipid-bound Serum Sialic Acid and Some Tumor Markers
Background: Increased levels of total and lipid-associated sialic acid (TSA and LASA) have been reported in the sera of patients with benign or malignant tumors and also could be regarded as newly important clinical criteria for the diagnosis of cancer. This study has investigated the differences of TSA and LASA contents between cancer patients and healthy individuals and evaluated their correl...

متن کاملEvaluation of Serum Total Sialic Acid and Lipid Associated Sialic Acid as a Tumour Marker
The present study was done to assess the levels of total sialic acid & lipid associated sialicAcid. Lactate dehydrogenase and total proteins in sera of patients with various malignant diseases and compared with sera of non malignant diseases, benign tumors & controls. Serum total sialic acid, LASA & LDH values are significantly increased in malignancies when compared to the controls (P<0.001), ...
متن کاملAssessment of Sialic Acid Distribution in Mouse Epididymis
Previous studies have shown that epididymal epithelium and its secretions are critical for sperm maturation. These secretions contain many glycoconjugates with sialic acid terminal sugar. This terminal sugar by interveining in cellular interactions and masking surface receptors, has an important role in sperm maturation and protection. Moreover lectins have been employed as useful probes to det...
متن کاملLipid-bound sialic acid as a tumor marker.
Significant elevations in plasma/serum lipid bound sialic acid (LSA) concentrations have been documented in patients with malignant diseases. Initial studies indicate that LSA may be a useful marker in cancer of the prostate, bladder, breast, lung, colon, ovary and in leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins disease and melanoma. The data suggest that the LSA test lacks the required sensitivity and specifi...
