Neuron-specific enolase concentrations in serum in benign liver diseases.
Neuron-specific enolase (EC 4.2.1.11; NSE), a glycolytic enzyme produced by neuronal and neuroendocrine cells, is used as a tumor marker of neuroendocrine cancers, especially small-cell lung cancer. We have evaluated the behavior of NSE in nonmalignant liver diseases in 161 patients who underwent a thorough clinical and biochemical evaluation. Nine of the 161 patients (5.6%)--three of the 86 ci...
متن کاملSerum Neuron-Specific Enolase in Lead-Exposed Individuals.
The article by Ravibabu, et al, 1 provides important new data in the field of biomarkers to monitor exposures to lead within the workplace, as in the lead acid battery manufacturing. They found that the serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels are not elevated in association with concentrations of blood lead levels among workers in the lead acid battery manufacturing plant. In our (unpublishe...
متن کاملRapid electrophoretic determination of neuron-specific enolase isoenzymes in serum.
This assay procedure for each of the two neuron-specific enolases (alpha gamma and gamma gamma) and the non-neuronal enolase (alpha alpha) in serum involves two steps: electrophoretic separation of the three isoenzymes--alpha alpha, alpha gamma, and gamma gamma--on cellulose acetate, and bioluminescence measurement of total enolase activity. From these data, the activity concentrations (U/L) of...
متن کاملSerum levels of S-100B protein and neuron-specific enolase in glioma patients: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Serum levels of S-100B protein (S-100B) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) are elevated after various cerebral injuries and are considered markers of central nervous system damage. In brain tumor patients, literature data on the prognostic value of serum S-100(B) and NSE levels are scarse and conflicting. PATIENTS AND METHODS We assessed serum S-100B and NSE levels in 20 consecutive...
