INTRODUCTION: YKL-40 is a glycoprotein that plays role in inflammation and malignant processes. High serum YKL-40 levels are associated with short survive in cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is another reason to increase its' l...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with inflammation by comparing serum levels of human chitinase-3-like pro- tein 1 (YKL-40), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte r...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of YKL-40 that serve as biomarker of neuroinflammation are known to be altered along the clinico-biological continuum of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The specific structural cerebral correlates of CSF YKL-40 were...
OBJECTIVE: The detection kit for plasma Chitinase-3-like Protein 1 was developed using the magnetic bead chemiluminescence method, in order to investigate the diagnostic value of DD, FDP, CHI3L1, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II in hepatocellular carcinoma.
