This review delineates the subcellular distribution, biochemical characteristics, and metabolic functions of 5'-nucleotidase (5'NT), summarizes the analytical biochemistry of 5'NT, and assesses the clinical significance of 5'NT determinations in body fluids, cells, and tissues. Salient aspects of the clinical biochemistry of 5'NT, discussed herein, are as follows: (A) Serum 5'NT activity is gen...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental chromium on performance and blood serum biochemistry of dairy cows. Thus, 20 multiparous Holstein cows (parity 3) were equally divided into two groups, group one (control), which received no chromium supplementation and group two (treatment) which received 5 g/day chromium methionine from week 5 prior to parturition until 12 weeks ...

The study was conducted on six geriatric dogs belonging to different breeds presented for various surgical procedures at the Veterinary hospitals of Kerala and Animal Sciences University, Mannuthy Kokkalai. Before undergoing anaesthesia, all underwent complete clinical examination pre-anaesthetic evaluation. All animals were administered a multimodal anaesthetic protocol with inj. dexmedetomidi...

dear editor regarding to development of basic science and new methods in biochemistry in recent years, practical biochemistry contents should be optimized (1). therefore, re-attitude biochemistry course contents in medical schools has paralleled worldwide trends a moved from current status is needed (2, 3). as reported by investi­gators many medical schools around the world have reformed their ...

background: copper and zinc are the elements with numerous physiological activities.  copper  (cu)  has  an  important  role  in  angiogenesis  and  acts  by increasing vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf). serum levels of copper will be increased in cancer incidence, progression and recurrence. the aim of this study was to measure blood levels of copper, zinc, and the ratio of cu /zn, as ...
