Are leucocytes a major source of circulating nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase ( NAMPT ) /pre-B cell colony ( PBEF ) /visfatin linking obesity and inflammation in humans?
Leucocytes are a major source of enzymatically active NAMPT, which may serve as a biomarker or even mediator linking obesity, inflammation and insulin resistance.
Oral rinse MMP-8 together with TIMP-1 analysis may have potential in complementary periodontal diagnostics. dentoELISA can be applied in quantitative oral rinse chair side biomarker diagnostics.
