Abstract


ABSTRACT

Introduction: Plasma sCD36 is generally considered to be a marker of macrophage activation and inflammation, accelerated fat accumulation in the vascular wall, and atherosclerosis.

The objective of the study is to develop a methodology for sCD36 determination.

Materials and methods: The material for sCD36 determination by ELISA assays was collected from fasting blood samples from healthy cases.

Results: The study identified possible problems in sCD36 plasma concentration measurement. The presented data also suggested that the interrelationship of sCD36 and various metabolic stimuli can significantly affect sCD36 plasma concentration.

Conclusion: The ELISA assay can be used to determine sCD36 concentration in human plasma.
