Stability of pro-gastrin-releasing peptide in serum versus plasma.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Although serum assays for pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) assays have been commercially available in Japan for several years, the stability of ProGRP in serum and plasma has not been well documented. We investigated the stability of ProGRP in serum and plasma with fresh and stored (frozen) specimens, as well as the cause of the observed instability in serum. METHODS/RES...
متن کاملSerum levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and pro gastrin releasing peptide (ProGRP) during chemotherapy of lung cancer.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of serum OPG and ProGRP during chemotherapy of lung cancer in relation to the histological type of the tumour, its clinical stage and the response to therapy. The levels of OPG and ProGRP were determined in 39 patients (20 NSCLC, 19 SCLC) and 10 healthy subjects. Blood samples were collected from each patient before and after chemotherapy. OPG...
متن کاملSerum levels of pro-gastrin-releasing peptide for follow-up of patients with small cell lung cancer.
To assess the clinical usefulness of serum pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (Pro-GRP) as a tumor marker for small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), we measured serum levels of Pro-GRP with a newly developed ELISA and measured serum levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in 44 patients with untreated SCLC and 77 patients with untreated non-SCLC. We prospectively measured serum levels of Pro-GRP and NSE ...
متن کاملDevelopmental expression and biological activity of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and GRP receptors in the kidney
Mammalian Gastrin Releasing Peptide (GRP) has a widespread distribution and multiple stimulating effects on metabolism, release of regulatory peptides, gastrointestinal and pancreatic secretions, and behaviour. GRP is a potent mitogen for a number of tumor types including colon and lung. Although GRP is known to stimulate the growth of renal tumors, little is known of its synthesis, distributio...
متن کاملEvaluation of Serum NT-Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Neonates with Respiratory Distress
Background Respiratory Distress (RD) is a life-threatening respiratory failure. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) in distinguishing respiratory and heart diseases in neonates. Materials and Methods Hundred fifty neonates aged 2-3 days randomly collected from those who hospitalized in the related ward of the Ali ...
