Serum prolidase activity in idiopathic and ischemic cardiomyopathy patients

Abstract: Idiopathic and ischemic dilated cardiomyopathies (DCM) are the most common types of DCM, and both exhibit the same histopathological feature of fibrosis. Prolidase is an enzyme that serves a rate-limiting function in collagen turnover. Several studies have shown increased prolidase activity in fibrosis, though controversy persists. In this study, we measured prolidase enzyme activity in patients with idiopathic or ischemic DCM and in healthy controls, making this, to our knowledge, the first study to do so. Wh… Show more

“…Prolidase activity is related to the pathogenesis of various diseases Savas et al 2010;Sezen et al 2010;Toy et al 2009aToy et al , 2010Vural et al 2010b;Yildiz et al 2008a). Since its property of representation of collagen turnover, prolidase is an important marker for tumour size and aggression of the fi broid growth (Wolanska et al 2001).…”

These patient groups exhibit the same histopathological feature of fi brosis (25). A decreased prolidase activity was shown in advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.…”
