Introduction:

S100B protein is an astroglial protein that can be measured in peripheral tissues such as blood, urine or saliva. S100B serum concentrations have been proposed as a maker of brain dysfunction. Body Mass Index (BMI) has been reported as a confounding variable in S100B measures.

Material and methods:

44 healthy subjects (24 female and 20 male, age 39.7 ± 9.4) participated in the study. Blood was sampled in July at 09:00, 12:00 and 24:00 h. Blood was centrifuged and serum was aliquot in Eppendorf tubes and frozen at −70° C. Serum S100B was measured by ELISA. S100B serum data are reported as pg/ml.

Results:

There were no significant correlations between BMI and any of the three S100B measures (09:00 h. r = 0.150, p = 0.339, 12:00 h. r=0.041, p = 0.794, 24:00 h. r=0.192, p = 0.223).

Conclusions:

Our results point to the fact that there are no relationships between BMI and S100B serum concentrations in healthy adult subjects.
