OBJECTIVES: The neuropeptide hormone- Oxytocin (OXT) and glycoprotein Lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) are strongly associated with cardiometabolic risks of insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and prediabetes (preDM).
AIMS: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious microvascular complication of a longstanding hyperglycemia. This study aims to evaluate whether urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and urinary Interleukin-18 possess a better diagnos...
Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a protein that was found to be overexpressed in acute kidney injury (AKI). The rise in NGAL concentration, both in urine or plasma, appears earlier than for other classical renal function markers s...

BACKGROUND: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is often accompanied with tubulointerstitial lesion. This study aimed to assess the role of urinary biomarkers in predicting tubulointerstitial lesion and treatment response in FSGS patients.
Studies on neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as an iron-regulatory protein are limited. This study investigated the relationships between plasma NGAL levels and indices of anemia in 187 patients with systemic inflammation. Plasma NGAL...
OBJECTIVE: Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are biomarkers of renal functions. We evaluated their roles in predicting the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).
BACKGROUND: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) accumulates in cortical tubules in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, with its levels associated with serum creatinine. However, the predictive value of NGAL level for contrast-induced ac...

OBJECTIVE: There is some evidence indicating that histopathological changes in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) emerge before onset of microalbuminuria. The aim of our study was to determine whether urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NG...

PURPOSE: The main objective of this study was to compare the effect of two anaesthetic techniques (general vs combined) on plasma levels of NGAL (Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin) after robotic urogenital oncosurgery. The secondary objectiv...

BACKGROUND: The breast is an important biological system of human with two distinct states, i.e. normal and tumoral. Research on breast cancer could be based on systematic modeling to contrast the system structures of these two states.
