Biomarkers Associated with the Outcome of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

Brain Sci. 2017 Oct 27;7(11):142. doi: 10.3390/brainsci7110142.

Abstract

This review focuses on biomarkers associated with the outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, such as caspase-3; total antioxidant capacity; melatonin; S100B protein; glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP); glutamate; lactate; brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF); substance P; neuron-specific enolase (NSE); ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L-1 (UCH-L1); tau; decanoic acid; and octanoic acid.

Keywords: biomarkers; caspase-3; malondialdehyde; melatonin; mortality; prognosis; substance P; total antioxidant capacity; traumatic brain injury.
