Popis: | PURPOSE Plasma leptin is secreted from adipose tissues and plays pivotal roles in human physiological and pathological processes. Here, we aimed at conducting a protein biochip-based sandwich-like approach for detection of plasma leptin among healthy individuals, obesity, and diabetes patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Totally, 96 plasma samples, including 45 healthy individuals with standard body mass index (BMI), 28 obesity and 23 diabetes patients, were recruited in the study. Plasma leptin was detected by a well-established protein biochip. Meanwhile an ELISA was also performed for assessment of the leptin detection by the protein biochip. RESULTS We found that the plasma leptin level in the obesity and diabetes patients was significantly higher than that in healthy individuals with standard body mass index (p < 0.001). The limit detection concentration of leptin was as low as 0.006 μg/mL. The plasma leptin could be semiquantitatively detected by the protein biochip. The compatibility of the biochip-based detection approach seemed acceptable in comparison with the ELISA assay (R2 = 0.948). CONCLUSIONS We provided a protein biochip-based approach for plasma detection. This approach would be a potential substitution for the ELISA assay. |
