Evaluation of Serum Total Sialic Acid and Lipid Associated Sialic Acid as a Tumour Marker
نویسنده
چکیده
The present study was done to assess the levels of total sialic acid & lipid associated sialicAcid. Lactate dehydrogenase and total proteins in sera of patients with various malignant diseases and compared with sera of non malignant diseases, benign tumors & controls. Serum total sialic acid, LASA & LDH values are significantly increased in malignancies when compared to the controls (P<0.001), indicating altered metabolism of tumour cell surface glycoprotein & sialoglycolipids and there is decrease of total proteins in malignancies especially Gastro intestinal tract malignancies (P<0.001). We had followed up 23 patients suffering from different malignancies and were received treatment. All these patients showed clinical improvement gradually at an end of 20 days followed up period. The TSA, LASA, & LDH significantly decreased (P<0.001, P<0.01, P<0.05) respectively. So this study suggests sialic acid as a tumour marker which shows good diagnostic potential.

Background: Sialic acid is a component of serum that is elevated in diseases such as diabetes and certain malignancies. The normal range of SSA concentration and serum neuraminidase activity in different populations are varied, probably due to racial differences. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to obtain the average SSA concentration and serum neuraminidase activity, in an Iran...

Introduction: Sialic acid plays pivotal roles in various critical physiological events at molecular and cellular levels and also pathological processes. Changes in sialic acid concentration are observed in many pathological processes; for example, there are some available data on the evaluated level of sialic acid and neurodegenerative prevalence. It can be proposed that sialic acid can play a ...
