To evaluate the diagnostic significance of the collagen Type I11 (Col 1-3) N-terminal propeptide of procollagen Type 111, with respect to activity and degree of liver fibrosis, Col 1-3 serum concentrations were measured in 11 1 patients with chronic liver diseases and in 60 patients were correlated
To evaluate the mechanism of increased serum concentrations of theN-terminal propeptide of type I11 procollagen and the 75 fragment of type IV collagen in acute liver injury, we serially measured serum levels of these substances after transcatheter arterial embolization in patients with hepatocellul
Liver fibrosis was induced in rats both with carbon tetrachloride and dimethylnitrosamine. Assays were performed on steady-state levels of messenger RNAs in the liver for several collagens and basement membrane components. The results indicated marked increases in the steady-state levels of messenge
To assess the value of type I11 procollagen peptide (sPIIIP) as a marker of hepatic fibrosis, sera from 73 patients with alcohol-related liver disease and 30 patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis (IHC) were studied by a specific radioimmunoassay. sPIIIP was increased in 87% of 30 patients with ci
