Normal tear protein profiles and age-related changes.
The specific and non-specific tear proteins have been analysed by means of the ELISA technique to establish the normal and age-related values. There is a linear and related decline of lysozyme and lactoferrin with age, and a similar but unrelated reduction in tear volume. IgA levels gradually decline, while caeruloplasmin and IgG both increase after the fifth decade. The results suggest that te...
متن کاملAge-dependent changes in rat lacrimal gland anti-oxidant and vesicular related protein expression profiles
PURPOSE Anti-oxidation and exocytosis are important for maintaining exocrine tissue homeostasis. During aging, functional and structural alterations occur in the lacrimal gland (LG), including oxidative damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA. The aims of the present study were to determine in the aging LG: a) the effects of aging on LG structure and secretory activity and b) changes in the express...
متن کاملAge- and sex-related changes in the normal human ear.
The objective of this study was to supply information about: (1) normal sex-related dimensions of ears (linear distances and ratios, area); (2) left-right symmetry; and (3) growth changes between childhood and old age. The three-dimensional coordinates of several soft-tissue landmarks on the ears and face were obtained by a non-invasive, computerized electromagnetic digitizer in 497 male and 34...
متن کاملNormal range for glucose in urine: age-related changes.
The Du Pont aca “NBIL” test (Du Pont Instruments, Wilmington, DE 19898) also measures bilirubin spectrophotometrically. Figure 2 shows an approximate linear relationship between “apparent” biliburin concentration, as measured with the Bilirubin Stat-Analyzer and the aca NBIL test, vs Liposyn concentration in a neonatal serum sample. This sample without added Liposyn gave identical total bilirub...
متن کاملAge-related DNA methylation changes in normal human prostate tissues.
PURPOSE Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among the aging male population but the mechanism underlying this association is unclear. Aberrant methylation of promoter CpG islands is associated with silencing of genes and age-dependent methylation of several genes has been proposed as a risk factor for sporadic cancer. We examined the extent of gene methylation in pathologically n...
