T Andrieu, V Thibault, I Malet, J Laporte… - Journal of Clinical …, 2003 - Elsevier
Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase IV is a transmembrane enzyme widely expressed in many
cell types, but also present as a soluble form in biological fluids. Its abnormal activity is
sometimes associated with liver disease related pathologies. Objectives: The aim of this
study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of changes in serum DPPIV activity in hepatitis
C and other viral infections. Study design: DPPIV activity was assessed by using a
microplate-based colorimetric assay on serum from 88 subjects: 12 healthy uninfected …
