ABSTRACT:
A method is described for the early detection of stroke which uses a reagent which includes a fluorescently modified fatty acid binding protein. A fluorescence difference is noted between the bound and unbound condition. Elevated levels of unbound free fatty acids from blood are used as indicators of stroke.
