the levels of serum tota1 protein, albumin, transaminases and phosphatases were estimated in a group of children with severe marasmus or mild malnutrition in order to identify some of the associated deficiencies in these syndromes. the biochemical pattern was similar in the normal and malnourished children.

Fish protein hydrolysates were prepared from Cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) muscle using alcalase and protamex methods. By conducting the Cuttlefish protein hydrolysate using alcalase (CPHA), it showed higher degrees of hydrolysis, proximate composition, yield, emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsion stability index (ESI), foaming activity index (FAI), solubility, water holding capacity (WHC) ...

Cellular and tissue activities highly depend on environmental pH. Murine lung tissue, when cultured properly in-vitro, is a potent producer of hematopoietic growth factors. We have studied the effect of pH on the production of hematopoietic growth factors and protein synthesis by the murine lung in-vitro. Various concentrations of NaHC03 were used to adjust the pH of the culture medium unde...
