Urinary YKL-40 as a Candidate Biomarker for Febrile Urinary Tract Infection in Young Children
BACKGROUND Given that YKL-40 is a known marker of inflammation, we sought to determine its association with urinary tract infection (UTI) in febrile children. METHODS In total, 44 children aged 0 to 24 months with febrile UTI and 35 age- and sex-matched controls with fever from other causes were enrolled in the study. ELISA was performed to determine the level of YKL-40 in urine collected fro...
متن کاملAndrogen sulfation in healthy UDP-glucuronosyl transferase 2B17 enzyme-deficient men.
CONTEXT The conspicuous interindividual differences in metabolism and urinary excretion of testosterone and its metabolites make it challenging to reveal testosterone doping. The variation in testosterone glucuronide excretion is strongly associated with a deletion polymorphism in the uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltranferase (UGT) 2B17 gene. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to ident...
متن کاملUrinary angiotensinogen as a potential biomarker of diabetic nephropathy
BACKGROUND Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is an important mediator of diabetic nephropathy. Urinary angiotensinogen, a novel biomarker of the intrarenal RAAS, is associated with progressive kidney injury. In this study, the authors investigated the determinants of urinary angiotensinogen and its associations with staging of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS Random u...
متن کاملEvaluation of a novel ELISA for serotonin: urinary serotonin as a potential biomarker for depression.
Depression is a common disorder with physical and psychological manifestations often associated with low serotonin. Since noninvasive diagnostic tools for depression are sparse, we evaluated the clinical utility of a novel ELISA for the measurement of serotonin in urine from depressed subjects and from subjects under antidepressant therapy. We developed a competitive ELISA for direct measuremen...
متن کاملSubstance P as a potential biomarker of pain assessment in dogs
Background: Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide that functions as a neuromodulator. It is released mainly in the brain stem and in nerve endings. Aims: The present study aimed to provide fundamental data that may be applied to the assessment of pain in dogs by evaluating their serum SP concentrations. Methods: Two groups of dogs were designated ...
