Plasma glutathione peroxidase activity as an index of renal function.
The kidney is a major source of the plasma enzyme glutathione peroxidase. We measured plasma glutathione peroxidase activity in 130 patients affected with different renal diseases at various stages, and compared it with the following indices of kidney function: serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, and urinary excretion of alpha 1-microglobulin, beta 2-microglobulin, albumin and N-acetyl-beta...
متن کاملEffect of dialysis on plasma and CSF tryptophan and CSF 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in advanced renal disease.
Patients with uraemic encephalopathy were previously found to have low total tryptophan (bound plus free), but high free tryptophan concentrations in the plasma and high CSF tryptophan concentrations. The 5-hydroxytryptamine metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid was also raised in the CSF. A study of the effect of dialysis treatment on these substances in chronic uraemic patients with and witho...
متن کاملPsychopathology and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid excretion.
CONSIDERABLE indirect evidence, associating serotonin with central nervous system function and the actions of important psychotropic drugs, led to suggestions192 of a relationship between serotonin metabolism and schizophrenia. Despite considerable effort, experimental support for this suggestion has been inconclusive. Among studies in this area are those on quantitative excretion, and variabil...
متن کاملUrinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in 8-hour collections as an aid in diagnosis of coeliac disease.
8-hour urine excretions of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were measured in 18 children with coeliac disease before treatment and the results expressed as microgram 5-HIAA/mg creatinine. Similar measurements were made on urine collections from an age-matched control group of 24 children. Significantly higher values of 5-HIAA excretion were found in children with untreated coeliac disease. M...
متن کاملThe plasma estradiol as an index of fetoplacental function.
A radioligand assay has been developed for the measurement of unconjugated 17beta-estradiol in as little as 0.01 ml of pregnancy plasma employing rabbit uterine cytosol as specific binder and activated charcoal as nonspecific absorbant. Large numbers of samples could be processed simultaneously at relatively little expense and results were obtainable within 3 hr. The procedure was sensitive to ...
