Influence of anticoagulants on the measurement of S100B protein in blood.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE Evaluate anticoagulants influence on blood S100B levels. DESIGN AND METHODS Blood from 18 healthy adult subjects were collected using: no anticoagulants; EDTA; heparin; and citrate. S100B levels were determined using LIA-mat assay. RESULTS Heparin and citrate increased S100B levels (p<0.001), whereas EDTA had no effect (p=0.24). Heparin samples were highly (r2=0.97, p<0.001), citrate samples were moderately (r2=0.49, p<0.001), and EDTA samples were not (r2=0.22, p=0.059) correlated with serum samples. CONCLUSION When anticoagulant is required, heparin should be the primary choice.

Background and Objective: The S100B protein has recently been considered as an important marker for predicting severe brain damage; however, there has been very little evidence of increasing this marker in cerebral edema due to metabolic disorders such as diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA). This study was designed and performed to evaluate the prognostic role of S100B protein in predicting brain edema...

Introduction: S100B is a protein released from astrocytes, which controls neuroglial relationship and probably plays a role in memory and synaptic plasticity. Study of the functional relationship between astrocytes and neurons is of great importance. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of S100B infusion into the CA1 region of the hippocampus, on memory performance in male ...
