coagulate bovine plasma albumin, 'y-globulin and egg albumin to form opaque gels at room temperature and neutrality. The reaction with bovine plasma albumin is many times more rapid than with the other two proteins. Gels so formed rapidly dissolve in concentrated solutions of amides such as urea. The capacity of albumin to form this type of gel is decreased by partial acetylation of the albumin...

The effect of genotype and sex of Nigerian indigenous chickens (dwarf, Fulani ecotypes, neck, frizzle and normal feathered) on blood serum electrolytes and biochemical parameters were investigated using 40 chickens. The collected data were subjected to analysis via a 2 way ANOVA. The results revealed serum levels of sodium, potassium, chloride, uric acid, glucose, total protein, creatinin, albu...

this study was conducted to compare the bio-efficacy of herbal methionine (h-met) relative to dl-methionine (dl-met) on 160 “ross 308” broiler chickens. dl-met and h-met were added to the basal diet in eight experimental treatments with three and four concentrations respectively in starter, grower and finisher period. blood parameters which were measured at 24 and 42 days of age consisted of: s...

An alteration of the blood serum proteins in patients with catarrhal jaundice has been amply established by the development of a positive cephalin flocculation (1). A standard emulsion composed of cephalin and cholesterol, which remains stable in 0.2 ml. to 0.1 ml. normal serum, diluted 1: 21, tends to flocculate and precipitate when added under identical conditions to the serum of patients wit...

INTRODUCTION The present study investigated the possible therapeutic effects of Annona squamosa (A. squamosa) extract on certain biochemical markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus in rats. METHODS The effects of an aqueous extract of A. squamosa leaves on blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, urea, uric acid and creatinine and the activities of...

The present study investigated the possible protective effect of Helicteres isora (Sterculiaceae) bark extracts on certain biochemical markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rats. STZ treatment (60 mg/kg/i.p) caused a hyperglycemic state that led to various physiological and biochemical alterations. Blood levels of glucose, urea, uric acid and creatinine, plasma levels of albumin a...

to investigate the effects of zataria multiflora boiss essential oil (zmb) on incidence of ascites syndrome and blood parameters of arian broiler chicks, an experiment with 500 one-day-old chicks were conducted. this experiment was based on completely randomized design with 5 treatments including 1) control (basal diet), 2) basal diet with 100 mg/kg probiotic, 3) basal diet with 150 mg/kg avila...
