The existence of two adult hemoglobin types, designated as hemoglobin A (or hemoglobin II) and hemoglobin B (or hemoglobin I), in various breeds of sheep is well established (for reference see van Vliet and Huisman (1)). The two molecular species have been separated both by electrophoresis, with which hemoglobin A showed the highest mobility at alkaline pH, and by chromatography on either Amber...

coenzyme q 10 is a natural antioxidant and free radicals scavenger. in the present study, we examined effect of coenzyme q 10 on hemoglobin a 1c , serum urea and creatinine in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. thirty sprage-dawley male rats were divided into three groups randomly; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, and group three treatments with coenzyme q 10 (15 mg/kg i...
