Biological polymers are expected to exhibit functionally relevant, global, and subglobal collective modes in the terahertz (THz) frequency range (i.e., picosecond timescale). In an effort to monitor these collective motions, we have experimentally determined the absorption spectrum of solvated bovine serum albumin (BSA) from 0.3 to 3.72 THz (10-124 cm(-1)). We successfully extract the terahertz...

In the present study, the accumulation of apolipoproteins (apo) A-I, B, and E in culture medium was measured after 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h of incubation with 150 microM docosahexaenoic acid complexed to 75 microM bovine serum albumin (BSA-22:6), either in the presence or absence of 50 micrograms/ml cholesterol and 4 micrograms/ml 25-hydroxycholesterol (C/25-OH). HepG2 cells incubated with BSA + C...

Purpose The construction sector is increasingly engaged to explore the potential application of building information modelling (BIM) for sustainability buildings. BIM can be applied conjugated certification methods evaluate buildings, and it known as assessment (BSA). This article aims applications in analysis including five types BSA. Design/methodology/approach A literature review from 2009 2...

The ability to track drug binding and release makes electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy well suited for drug delivery studies. Using the continuous wave (cw) EPR technique to extract information about the dynamics of the spin labeled drugs we can simultaneously determine the bound and unbound drugs. Here, spin labeled salicylic acid (SLSA) binding to and release from bovine serum...

A glycoprotein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a model compound for encapsulation in a sol-gel matrix. Dried gels were ground into powders and meshed to achieve particle sizes less than 250 μm. The products were washed with phosphate buffer. Capillary electrophoresis was used to evaluate the encapsulation efficiency and the kinetic properties of protein release. Several parameters, incl...

Body surface area (BSA) plays a key role in several medical fields, including cancer chemotherapy, transplantology, burn treatment and toxicology. BSA is often a major factor in the determination of the course of treatment and drug dosage. A series of formulae to simplify the process have been developed. Because easy-to-identify, yet general, body coefficient results of those formulae vary cons...

Danhong injection (DHI) is a widely used Chinese Materia Medica standardized product for the clinical treatment of ischemic encephalopathy and coronary heart disease. The bindings of eight natural components in DHI between bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy technology and molecular docking. According to the results, the quenching process of salvianolic acid B a...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Growth Hormone (GH) dosage in childhood is adjusted for body size, but there is no consensus whether body weight (BW) or body surface area (BSA) should be used. We aimed at comparing the biological effect and cost-effectiveness of GH treatment dosed per m2 BSA in comparison with dosing per kg BW in girls with Turner syndrome (TS). METHODS Serum IGF-I, GH dose, and adult height...

Mitochondria from a variety of mouse and rat tumors were studied. In general, tumor mitochondria isolated in a medium containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) exhibit respiratory control, while mitochondria isolated from the same tumor in the absence of BSA lack respiratory control. Some variability in oxidative phosphorylation was obtained among the various types of tumors. The rates of phosphory...
