High N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide: a biomarker of lung cancer?
In our study, patients with lung cancer were 7 times more likely to have elevated NT-proBNP (≥ 125 pg/mL). The presence of lung cancer should therefore be taken into account when interpreting NT-proBNP levels. Further studies are warranted to explore the diagnostic value of this marker in lung cancer and to identify the cause of the elevation.
Supplementation with L-glutathione exerted a better neuroprotective effect than L-glutamine and may prevent the development of enteric diabetic neuropathy.
