Polyamines of biological fluids of the body and the diagnostic value of their determination in clinical and laboratory researches (review of literature)

Abstract

The review provides the analysis of the content of the main polyamines (PA) - spermine, spermidine and putrescine in the most important biological fluids of the human body (blood, urine, seminal fluid, etc.). The assessment of their diagnostic and prognostic value in clinical practice is carried out. The novelty and value of assessing of the level of PA metabolites as new diagnostic markers of various diseases has been shown. Among such diseases as cancer, stroke, renal failure, for which the search for early markers is especially relevant. This survey data can be of practical interest and taken into account in estimating the level of PA and its derivatives in clinical and laboratory reseaches. The literature search for the review was carried out using the Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, RSCI databases.

Keywords: biological fluids; polyamines; putrescine; review; spermidine; spermine.
