One of the complications of diabetes mellitus is the development of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Fecal elastase 1 is a good marker of pancreatic exocrine secretion.

The serum levels of some pancreatic enzymes have been reported to be affected by age and gender. Currently, serum total amylase, pancreatic isoamylase (P-amylase) , lipase , trypsin (ogen) , pancreatic phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) , and elastase I are ...

The specificity of purified porcine pancreatic elastase [PDF]
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).

Pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity in acute pancreatitis: A prognostic marker for early identification of patients at risk [PDF]
Remarkably elevated levels of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) are measurable in human blood samples in cases of acute pancreatitis. The source of the enzyme was first thought to be exclusively the pancreas, but now it is generally accepted that two ...

Exocrine pancreatic function is preserved in systemic sclerosis
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.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Studies on porcine pancreatic elastase activity. I. Radioimmuoassay of porcine pancreatic elastase.
An improved method of radioimmunoassay was devised to offer a successful formula for determining blood concentration of elastase. With porcine pancreatic elastase as the antigen, rabbits were immunized to obtain antiserum. Iodinated elastase labeled by the chloramine-T procedure using 131I (or 125I) had a specific activity of 200-300 mCi/mg. The double
