Clinical and Biochemical Assessments of Circulating B-Type Natriuretic Peptide as a Useful Marker in Pediatric Cardiac Patients
Background Although the left ventricle is the major site of BNP secretion in response to cardiac pressure or volume overload, the myocytes of both atria and ventricles secrete B- type natriuretic peptide (BNP). This study aimed to assess and compare the plasma levels of BNP in common pediatric cardiac diseases to clarify its pathophysiological role and evaluate its po...
متن کاملCirculating Concentrations of C-Peptide and Colorectal Adenoma
Hyperinsulinemia may increase the risk of colorectal neoplasia because of its mitogenic and antiapoptotic properties, which have a growth-promoting effect. We examined the association between circulating concentrations of C-peptide, a biomarker of insulin secretion, and colorectal adenoma prevalence in a case-control study of Korean adults. A total of 364 participants (112 cases and 252 control...
متن کاملThe clinical utility of C-peptide measurement in the care of patients with diabetes
C-peptide is produced in equal amounts to insulin and is the best measure of endogenous insulin secretion in patients with diabetes. Measurement of insulin secretion using C-peptide can be helpful in clinical practice: differences in insulin secretion are fundamental to the different treatment requirements of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This article reviews the use of C-peptide measurement in t...
متن کاملBrain natriuretic peptide measurement in acute coronary syndromes: ready for clinical application?
Brain (B-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a 32 amino acid peptide that is synthesized and released predominantly from ventricular myocardium in response to myocyte stretch. Like atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), BNP seems to have almost exclusively beneficial physiological properties, including balanced vasodilation, natriuresis, and inhibition of both the sympathetic nervous system and the r...
متن کاملMeasurement of pro-C-type natriuretic peptide in plasma.
Will reading habit influence your life? Many say yes. Reading measurement of pro c type natriuretic peptide in plasma technical briefs is a good habit; you can develop this habit to be such interesting way. Yeah, reading habit will not only make you have any favourite activity. It will be one of guidance of your life. When reading has become a habit, you will not make it as disturbing activitie...
