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 کاملNeuron specific enolase-positive breast carcinomas.
Ninety-eight patients treated for breast carcinomas were followed from 54 to 75 months after primary diagnosis. All had undergone a modified radical mastectomy with removal of axillary lymph nodes. 36 breast carcinomas were NSE-positive and 62 were negative. NSE-positive tumours were significantly more frequently estrogen receptor-positive than the NSE-negative tumours, and the estrogen recepto...
