Abstract		The normal serum base-line circadian characteristics of cathepsins B, H, L, S, stefins A and B, and cystatin C were established in order to understand better the biological time structure in health to serve as a more complete reference for disease. Preliminary study on cathepsin and cystatin levels in asthmatic sera suggested their involvement in the pathogenesis of asthma.
Summary		Cirkadiane karakteristike katepsinov B, H, L in S, stefinov A in B, ter cistatina C v serumih zdravih oseb smo določili za boljše razumevanje časovnih bioloških variacij, ki nadalje lahko služijo kot dobra osnova za primerjavo z vrednostmi pri bolnikih z astmo. Preliminarna merjenja koncentracij katepsinov in cistatinov v serumih bolnikov z astmo kažejo na njihovo vlogo v patogenezi astme.
