Diagnostic Value of Signal Peptide, CUB (Complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, and Bmp1), EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor)-Like Domain-Containing Protein 1 (SCUBE1) and Chemerin in Experimental Testicular Torsion

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the potential diagnostic value of the platelet activation marker SCUBE1 [signal peptide, CUB (complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, and Bmp1), and EGF (epidermal growth factor)-like domain-containing protein 1] and the adipocytokine chemerin in a prepubertal rat model of testicular torsion (TT).
