Body mass index and serum lipid profile influence serum prostate-specific antigen in Chinese men younger than 50 years of age.

Age Specific Reference Levels of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate Volume and Prostate Specific Antigen Density in Healthy Iranian Men

Background: It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...

Age-Related Prostate Specific Antigen Reference Ranges in Healthy Northern Iranian Men

Background: Prostate cancer is the third most common malignancy in men worldwide. Despite being a helpful biomarker in prostate cancer, prostate specific antigen (PSA) is affected by different factors including age, lifestyle, geographical region and ethnicity. Objective: To determine the age specific serum PSA level among healthy Northern Iranian men and to compare the results of our study wit...

Effect of concurrent training (endurance-resistance) on serum level of prostate specific antigen (PSA), cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and body composition in men over 50

Prostate-specific antigen rising in Iranian men in correlation with body mass index, fasting blood sugar and blood lipid profile

BACKGROUND Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a serine protease that is secreted by prostate cells and it is useful as a tumor marker for prostate cancer. OBJECTIVES In this study, the relationship between some of metabolic factors and serum PSA level was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, patients with urinary symptoms or for screening of the prostate cancer...

محدوده مرجع ویژه سن برای آنتی‌ژن سرمی اختصاصی پروستات (PSA) در مردان ایرانی

Background: Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), also known as gamma-seminoprotein or kallikrein-3 (KLK3), is the best marker for early diagnosis of prostate cancer. Since age and race are affecting PSA levels, determining age-specific reference ranges of PSA in every community is necessary for increasing the efficiency rate of PSA. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the normal distributi...
