S100B has been shown to rapidly increase but also to decline early.[26] H-FABP’s property of remaining stable over time has been demonstrated previously in stroke patients; the protein’s level increased early and showed highest levels already 3h after symptom onset and elevated levels were maintained for several days.[20] The results suggest that measuring H-FABP for a longer period of time post-trauma could be of benefit to patients arriving a long time after their accident. This evidence concerns the gene FABP3 and stroke disorder.
