Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a major fetal serum globulin structurally and functionally related to
albumin. During fetal development, AFP is produced sequentially by the fetal yolk sac …

Abnormal serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels are frequently observed in common disorders
such as spina bifida or Down's syndrome in the fetus and cancer in children and adults. The …

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is produced in the gut and liver during fetal life and appears to act
like albumin in the adult. Because AFP appears in the maternal circulation during …

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), the major protein component of fetal serum, is synthesized by the
visceral endoderm of the yolk sack during early fetal life and subsequently by the fetal liver …

BACKGROUND: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein molecule, which has similarity to
albumin and is produced by the fetal liver. Its biological role is unclear and factors that may …

Abstract Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was 1 of the first serum protein markers to serve in the dual
capacities of tumor marker and fetal defect marker, ie, an oncofetal protein, in the clinical …

Abstract $\alpha $-Fetoprotein (AFP) has been a useful marker in screening and/or
monitoring patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, gonadal germ cell tumor, gastric …

α-Fetoprotein (AFP) measurements have clinical implications in fetal medicine and, in
infants and older children, in detection, differential diagnosis and monitoring of malignant …

This preliminary study was carried out to evaluate the behavior of AFP in 155 patients with
benign diffuse liver diseases who underwent thorough clinical and laboratory evaluation …

Alpha1-fetoprotein (AFP) is an alpha1-glycoprotein which can be found in high
