The albumin ratio—the ratio of albumin protein in the cerebrospinal fluid compared to levels in the plasma or serum—is considered a measure of blood-brain barrier function, with higher values ...

Serum cholesterol, albumin and bicarbonate were measured at local sites using standard techniques. Serum prealbumin, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and serum and CSF NpY levels were measured using ...

The study also included 10 healthy male non-athletic control subjects. CSF was analysed for neurofilament light protein, total tau, glial fibrillary acidic protein, S-100B and albumin concentrations.

Mean CSF albumin concentration was significantly higher in adults than in children. CSF glucose concentrations were significantly elevated in children with TBE compared with non-TBE cases (Table ...
