Serum and saliva protein levels in females with breast cancer
The aim of the present study was to investigate the change in the total protein content between the serum and saliva of female patients with breast cancer and in healthy females. The study was conducted between October 2012 and November 2013. There were 80 females in the present study with 40 breast cancer patients and 40 healthy control subjects, with an age range of 50-70 years. The results o...
متن کاملElevated Serum Levels of Retinol-Binding Protein 4 Are Associated with Breast Cancer Risk: A Case-Control Study
BACKGROUND Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a recently identified adipokine that is elevated in patients with obesity or type 2 diabetes. A growing body of research has shown that RBP4 is associated with several types of cancer. However, no studies have investigated the relationship between serum RBP4 levels and breast cancer risk. We performed a case-control study to evaluate the associatio...
متن کاملElevated levels of thymidine kinase 1 peptide in serum from patients with breast cancer
OBJECTIVES Thymidine kinase (TK) has an important role in DNA synthesis and is thus related to cell proliferation and turn-over. Traditionally, TK has been measured by enzymatic activity or radioimmunoassays. These assays are difficult to adapt to random access instruments. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new immunological sandwich assay for detection of TK peptides in serum from breast...
متن کاملElevated levels of serum S100 beta protein in scrapie hamsters.
Recently, immunoluminometric analysis revealed elevated levels of serum S100 beta protein in sporadic and genetic cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) as compared to demented and nondemented control patients (Otto et al, 1998). S100 beta protein is a well established marker for the activation of astrocytes and also shows enhanced histochemical presentation in Alzheimer's disease (Sheng et a...
متن کاملElevated serum prostate-specific antigen levels in a woman with metastatic breast cancer.
To the Editor: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced almost exclusively by the prostate. Although various tissues in females have been found to produce very small amounts of PSA, serum PSA levels in females are quite low and are measurable only with ultrasensitive PSA immunoassays. In a study of 1064 women, the highest serum PSA levels were less than 1 μg per liter, and only 1.5...
