  • Title: Glycoconjugate profile in plasma and erythrocytes of gastric cancer patients.
    Author: Arivazhagan S, Kavitha K, Nagini S.
    Journal: Indian J Physiol Pharmacol; 1998 Jan; 42(1):123-6. PubMed ID: 9513804.
    Abstract:
    The present study has examined the glycoconjugate profile in plasma and erythrocyte membranes of 24 adult male gastric cancer patients and an equal number of age and sex-matched controls. Protein-bound hexose, hexosamine and sialic acid were significantly increased in plasma and erythrocytes of gastric cancer patients compared to controls. Elevation of glycoconjugates in circulation is suggested to be a result of increased shedding by the tumor cells or increased synthesis by liver, due to acute phase response.
