Posible marcador Activina B alta y Activina A normal

Digo posible por ser prudente, pero el estudio parece sesudo.

Activin B is a novel biomarker for chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) diagnosis: a cross sectional study
Brett A. Lidbury y colegas


Se observan niveles de activina B elevada junto con niveles de activina A en rango normal en TODOS los pacientes SFC/EM. Selección de pacientes siguiendo criterios canadienses.


Results

Serum activin B levels for CFS/ME participants were significantly elevated when compared to the study controls, as well as the established reference interval. Serum activin A and follistatin were within their normal ranges. All routine and special pathology markers were within the normal laboratory reference intervals for the total study cohort, with no significant differences detected between CFS/ME and control groups. Also, no significant differences were detected for IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, TNF or IFN-gamma.
Conclusion

Elevated activin B levels together with normal activin A levels identified patients with the diagnostic symptoms of CFS/ME, thus providing a novel serum based test. The activins have multiple physiological roles and capture the diverse array of symptoms experienced by CFS/ME patients.

Vaya, acabo de ver que alguno de los autores pertenece a una farmaceútica que investiga el uso médico de follastin, y en el artículo comentan que podría ser un tratamiento del SFC.

Esto indica cautela. Pero no desmerece los resultados del estudio. Al menos no todavía.

Poco a poco. Pero cada vez más cerca.
