The fatty acid composition of the phospholipids of red blood cells and blood platelets has been investigated in multiple sclerosis patients and in normal individuals. The variation in the platelet phospholipid fatty acid pattern in normals has been measured for the first time and has been shown to be small. The relative level of linoleate, expressed as a percentage of the five main fatty acids,...

The reaction of picric acid with creatinine in alkaline solution (Jaffe’s reaction), which is the basis of the Folin method (1) for the determination of creatinine, has been thought to be either a reduction of the acid or else the formation of a red tautomer of creatinine picrate. Greenwald (2) obtained evidence that the tautomerism involves picric acid as well as creatinine, and that other nit...

a total of 1695 blood samples collected from ten ethnically distinct populations of iran (turks and kurds of rezaieh, lurs, aabolis, baluchis, turks and kurds of shrvan, zoroastrians, tehranis, and kermanis) were examined for six polymorphic red cell enzyme systems, namely red cell acid phosphatase (ap), adenylate kinase (ak), phosphoglucomutase (pgm1), esteraxe d (esd), adenosine deaminase (ad...

in this study, the adsorption of hexavalent chromium and zinc ions from the solution is investigated by raw red mud and mechanical-chemical activated red mud along with the possibility of selective reclamation of these ions from the solution. the mechanical-chemical activation of red mud was done by employing high-energy milling and subsequent acid treatment with hno3. raw red mud (rrm) and mec...

preparation and characterization of thermoresponsive in-situ forming poloxamer hydrogel for controlled release of nile red-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles. nanoparticles (nps) are cleared rapidly from systemic circulation and do not provide sustained action in most cases. to solve this problem, this investigation introduces an erodible in-situ forming gel system as potential vehicles for prolo...

The experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of GA3, 2,4-D on fruit growth and fruit quality of wax apple. The experiment consisted of Red A, Monulla, Atu, Red B cultivars. GA3 and 2,4-D were applied at the small bud and petal fall stage. Physiological, biochemical characters of fruit were recoded. The result showed application of GA3, 2,4-D greatly response in increasing fruit set for a...
