Biologic variation of human serum immunoglobulin concentrations: sex-age specific effects.
نویسندگان
چکیده
SERUM immunoglobulin determinations are of potential value to clinicians in evaluating immunoinflammatory diseases and in the detection and characterization of immunodeficiency or hypergammaglobulinemia. Certain biologic variables affect concentrations of serum immunoglobulins [l-4] and must be considered in interpretation of specific levels in any individual patient. Efforts by different authors to determine general norms of immunoglobulin concentrations and life-time trends have diverged considerably. The present study of sex and age effects on serum concentrations of JgG, IgA, and IgM is based on data from a large unselected group of subjects from a single community.

Serum concentrations of thyroid hormones, cholesterol and triglyceride, and their correlations together in clinically healthy camels (Camelus dromedarius): Effects of season, sex and age
To evaluate the effects of season, sex and age on serum concentrations of thyroid hormones, cholesterol and triglyceride, and their correlations together in dromedarian camels, these parameters were measured in 180 clinically healthy dromedary camels. No significant difference was detected for the measured serum parameters between the two sexes and among the different age groups of camels and n...

In this study 71 head of conceiving ewe and their progeny (91 head) from the flock of Lori-Bakhtiari sheep (360 head), in Sholi Station were randomly selected to determine the relationship between the immunoglobulin (IgG) concentration in the ewe's serum and colostrum, and lamb's serum. Ewe blood sample, colostrum of ewe and blood of the lamb was taken 2 weeks before parturition, 1 to 8 hours a...

Background and Purpose: Although molds are regarded as the main fungal allergen sources, evidence indicates that spores of Basidiomycota including Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus) can be also found at high concentrations in the environment and may cause as many respiratory allergies as molds. The aim of the present study was to evaluate specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) ...
متن کاملAlcohol-induced alterations in serum immunoglobulin e (IgE) levels in human subjects.
The association of alcohol intake with total serum IgE concentrations in humans is discussed in the present review. The possible relationship of regular alcohol intake with both the risk of allergic sensitization and serum allergen-specific IgE values is also reviewed. Several studies consistently show that total serum IgE concentrations are increased in alcoholics when compared with healthy co...

Concentrations of serum IgG. IgA, and IgM were determined in 200 patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The relative frequency distribution of IgG and IgM approached that of a log-normal curve; however, there was marked skewing of the distribution of the serum concentrations of IgA. The prevalence of selective IgA deficiency was 4%. In order to permit further intragroup comparisons, the s...
