background:the first step in diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is measurement ofalbumin in a spot urine sample. the aim of this study was assessment of the accuracy of urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (uacr) in random urine specimens (rus) for microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria screening in iranian diabetic patients. methods:a total of 200 diabetic patients participated to our study. 24 h...

Background: Exposure to environmental toxins such as organophosphates poses a great threat to the health of the public. In this work, we investigated the effects of continuous exposure to dichlorvos (DDVP) on kidney function and hematological parameters, and the possible antidote activity of Nigella sativa oil (NSO). Methods: This research was conducted in 2016, at The Animal Holding and Resea...

The scope of this short review is to summarise the knowledge gleaned from the fate of drugs transported by albumin upon contact with the target cancer cell or cells in inflamed tissues. The authors expertise covers covalently bound drugs and their cellular uptake and release from albumin. This review therefore aims to deduce what will happen to drugs such as insulin detemir which is considered ...

Rats were injected with [(3)H]leucine, and at various times thereafter labelled albumin was isolated by electrophoresis from their livers and blood plasma. The specific radioactivity of each protein was determined by spectrophotometry and liquid-scintillation spectrometry. Intrahepatic albumin was shown to be identical with plasma albumin by its electrophoretic mobility and antigenicity. It was...

Suitable physiological condition in fishes for the selection of broodfishes can be achieved through hematological studies. The present study aimed to examin the hematological indices in Juvenile Sturgeons at different stages of growth. Total albumin content in blood serum, hemoglobin concentration, the erythrocyte and leukocyte count of 54 sturgeon specimens (Persian sturgeon Acipenser persicus...

background: ritalin (methylphenidate methylphenidate) is an amphetamine used to treat adhd, symptoms of narcolepsy, and some people with depression. this study was to investigate the effect of ritalin food on blood albumin and some liver enzymes. materials and methods: in this study, 40 male wistar rats were randomized into 4 groups (1 control group, and three experimental groups). in the contr...
