Stability and reference interval of serum phosphoglucomutase (PGM)
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2012, Vol 35, Issue 4
Abstract
We examined the stability and reference range of serum phosphoglucomutase (PGM) in healthy subjects. Serum obtained from venous blood was stored at -80℃ and 4℃, and the stability of PGM activity was evaluated by measuring the passage time for both samples. PGM activity was stable for 3 days after collection with storage at 4℃. It was stable for a long periods of time with storage at -80℃. PGM activity was measured using serum from 298 healthy adults (110 men and 187 women). There was a significant difference between men and women (p <0.001), and the distribution was log-normal. The reference range was 5.4 - 26.6 U/L in men and 4.8 - 20.3 U/L in women.

Evaluation of serum B-type natriuremic peptide (BNP) and plasma N-terminal pro-BNP(NT-proBNP) levels with heart failure in children
We have evaluated the NT-proBNP levels in serum and the BNP levels in plasma for heart failure (HF) among neonates and children. Both NT-proBNP and BNP levels for HF patients less than 5 years old were higher (NT-proBNP...
