Enhanced release of elastase is not concomitant with increased secretion of granulocyte-activating cytokines in whole blood from patients with sepsis [PDF]
, 1994 Die Diskussion am Ende des Artikels wurde gelöscht (§137l UrhG).Background The proteolytic enzyme elastase released by granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes [PMN]) in high concentrations during sepsis causes degradation of essential plasma proteins,

Exocrine pancreatic function is preserved in systemic sclerosis
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019 Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) has been suggested to cause exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. However, a case-control-based autopsy study failed to associate systemic sclerosis with any pancreatic histopathology.

Local lung responses following endobronchial elastase and lipopolysaccharide instillation in sheep [PDF]
, 2006 Chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure may contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including COPD and emphysema. We sought to develop a large-animal model of emphysema using repeated LPS administration into sheep lung segments.

The specificity of purified porcine pancreatic elastase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1969 An electrophoretically homogeneous elastase preparation free from tryptic and chymotryptic activities was obtained by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex and CM-cellulose. This preparation exhibits a narrower specificity towards peptide bonds than that observed by Naughton & Sanger (1961).
