Our aim was to study whether neuroserpin serum levels could be associated to biomarkers of excitotoxicity inflammation and blood brain barrier disruption. Methods We prospectively included 129 patients with ischemic stroke male mean age years not treated with tPA within 12 hours h of symptoms onset mean time h . Poor functional outcome at 3 months was considered as a modified Rankin scale score 2. Serum levels of neuroserpin Interleukin 6 IL-6 Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ICAM-1 active Matrix metalloproteinase 9 MMP-9 and cellular fibronectin cFn determined by ELISA and glutamate determined by HPLC were measured on admission 24 and 72 h. The main variable was considered the decrease of neuroserpin levels within the first 24 h. ROC analysis was used to select the best predictive value for neuroserpin to predict poor functional outcome due to a lack of linearity. Results The decrease of neuroserpin levels within the first 24 h was negatively correlated with serum levels at 24 hours of glutamate r IL-6 r ICAM-1 r MMP-9 r and cFn r all P . In the multivariate analysis serum levels of glutamate OR CI95 p IL-6 OR CI95 p and cFn OR CI95 p were independently associated with a decrease of .
