Dependence of TIMP-1 plasma levels on preanalytical specimen handling.
BACKGROUND Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in blood might be a helpful biomarker in various diseases. However, various authors report that TIMP-1 is dependent on preanalytical procedures. Our study was performed to determine how storage conditions and time to centrifugation influence TIMP-1. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six blood specimens were collected from each of 20 volu...
متن کاملElevated plasma levels of TIMP-1 in patients with rotator cuff tear
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Extracellular matrix remodeling is altered in rotator cuff tears, partly due to altered expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors. It is unclear whether this altered expression can be traced as changes in plasma protein levels. We measured the plasma levels of MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in patients with rotator cuff tears and relate...
متن کاملChanges in plasma TIMP-1 levels after resection for primary colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND Increased plasma levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1) are associated with poor outcome in colorectal cancer (CRC), however postoperative changes in plasma TIMP-1 levels after resections for CRC have not been thoroughly evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma samples were collected from 45 patients with primary CRC, preoperatively, 2 hours after surgery, and at ...
متن کاملPlasma TIMP-1 levels and treatment outcome in patients treated with XELOX for metastatic colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the association between plasma tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and outcome in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) receiving XELOX (combination chemotherapy with capecitabine and oxaliplatin) as first-line treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty patients were include...
متن کاملBrain serotonin content: physiological dependence on plasma tryptophan levels.
Brain serotonin cocentrations at 1 p.m. were significantly elevated 1 hour after rats received a dose of L-tryptophan (12.5 milligrams per kilogram. intraperitoneally) smaller than one-twentieth of the normal daily dietary intake. Plasma and brain tryptophan levels were elevated 10 to 60 minutes after the injection, but they never exceeded the concentrationis that occur nocturnally in untreated...
