To test the hypothesis of a fluctuation of circulating levels of endogenous Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF alpha) in patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
Serum levels of TNF alpha were measured at 8 a.m., 3 p.m., midnight and 3 a.m. in 21 patients with advanced cancer.
Serum TNF alpha levels were substantially increased in patients with advanced cancer as compared to healthy subjects. Peak value appeared at 3 a.m., and gradually declined to very low levels in the afternoon (3 p.m.). Using cosinor least square methods we could not find the circadian rhythm of TNF alpha.
检验晚期胃肠道癌患者体内内源性肿瘤坏死因子α(TNFα)循环水平波动的假说。
对21例晚期癌症患者在上午8点、下午3点、午夜及凌晨3点测量血清TNFα水平。
与健康受试者相比,晚期癌症患者血清TNFα水平显著升高。峰值出现在凌晨3点,下午(下午3点)逐渐降至极低水平。使用余弦分析最小二乘法,我们未发现TNFα的昼夜节律。
