The aim of this work was to generate an inventory of the data on radiocarbon datings obtained from sediments of the São Paulo Bight (southern Brazilian upper margin) and to analyze the data in terms of Late Quaternary sedimentary processes and sedimentation rates. A total of 238 radiocarbon datings from materials collected using differents ampling procedures was considered for this work. The se...

INTRODUCTION Inflammation can be a process significant to the development of schizophrenia and metabolic disorders that are frequently found in patients suffering from schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to determine the values of erythrocyte sedimentation rate and fibrinogen concentration and to establish their possible association with MS and its components in schizophrenic patients. S...

Human erythrocyte phosphofructokinase has been purified to homogeneity and some of its physicochemical properties have been investigated. The enzyme exists in several polymeric states. At high protein concentrations (3 mglml), the predominant form of the enzyme shows a sedimentation coefficient of 57 S. In highly dilute solution (0.3 to 10 pg/ ml), the enzyme is in 12 S to 18 S forms as shown b...
