Fecal pancreatic elastase-1 levels in older individuals without known gastrointestinal diseases or diabetes mellitus [PDF]

BMC Geriatrics, 2011
Background Structural changes occur in the pancreas as a part of the natural aging process. With aging, also the incidence of maldigestive symptoms and malnutrition increases, raising the possibility that these might be caused at least in part by ...

Difference in the Faecal Elastase-1 Concentration between Resectable and Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer

The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy, 2020
Background: In the pancreatic cancer can occur pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) that can be detected by measurement of fecal elastase-1 level. The aim of this study was to identify the proportion and the degree of PEI, proportion of steatorrhea in

Characterization of the S′‐subsite specificity of porcine pancreatic elastase [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1989
A number of maleyl peptide p‐nitrobenzyl esters have been synthesized to study elastase‐catalyzed hydrolysis reactions. These new substrates were used as acyl donors to investigate the S′‐subsite specificity of porcine pancreatic elastase by partitioning of the acyl enzyme between various added nucleophiles and water.

Clinical and Analytical Comparison of Monoclonal and Polyclonal Immunoassays for Fecal Pancreatic Elastase. [PDF]

Diagnostics (Basel)
Background: Numerous immunoassays have been commercialized to determine pancreatic elastase (PE) in feces in screening for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), but how the different assays compare to one another is controversial, especially in the ...

Specificity of a Polyclonal Fecal Elastase ELISA for CELA3. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Elastase is a proteolytic pancreatic enzyme that passes through the gastrointestinal tract undergoing only limited degradation. ELISA tests to determine stool elastase concentrations have therefore been developed for the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic ...
