the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding dietary soy protein and soy protein supplemented with methionine on lipids and lipoproteins content of blood in wistar rats. sixteen male and 16 female wistar rats with the initial live weight of 116 ± 6.3 and 115.8 ± 6.8 grams respectively, were fed by the isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets containing casein (20%), soy protein...

Introduction: Drugs are mainly delivered to the target tissues by plasma proteins, such as human serum albumin, in the human body. Practical information about the thermodynamic parameters of drugs and their stability can be obtained using simulation methods, such as molecular docking. Material & Methods: This study, investigated the molecular docking of human serum albumin with fluorouracil an...

deproteinisation with acetonitrile (along with methanol or other reagents) is a useful and rapid technique in analysis of drugs or their metabolites in human serum. in this paper application of this simple technique in biopharmaceutical analysis using capillary electrophoresis (ce) is evaluated. some drugs with different ionic and protein binding properties were selected and dissolved in human ...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effects of artichoke on liver function in broiler chicks poisoned with ccl4. a total of 60 (ross, 308) one-d-old broiler chicks were assigned into four treatments, using a completely randomized design. experimental treatments included: 1) control (received control diet), 2) artichoke (control diet supplemented with 3 percent artichoke ...

Nutri-bars were prepared (110 g) using dates (64 g), dried apricots (16 cheddar cheese (8 whey protein isolate (12 and roasted-chickpea flour (10 g). Bars for Pakistani-athletes based on their calories requirement (3500-3925 kcals/day, 1.4-1.8 g/kg body weight). Efficacy trials performed (1, 15 30 days) to evaluate the effect of nutri-bars blood serum profile, stamina building body-composition....

abstract background: regarding the diagnostic errors of the classic criteria including serum ascites albumin gradient (saag), total protein concentration and the adapted light et al’s criteria in distinguishing transudate versus exudates, we evaluated the ascitic fluid to serum bilirubin ratio as a new criteria in this regard. we also evaluated whether the combination of bilirubin ratio with ea...

a 50-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of yeast nucleotide in diets on growth performance, serum immune indices and muscle composition of ancherythroculter nigrocauda(mean initial body weight, 23.30±0.59 g). seven isonitrogenous (approximately 42.76% crude protein) and isoenergetic (17.43 kj g−1 gross energy) experimental diets with varying levels of yeast nucleotide (0[co...

protein- energy malnutrition, wasting and inflammation are frequent complication among patients with end-stage renal disease (esrd). malnutrition is associated with cardiac co-morbidity, inflammation and poor survival in esrd patients. serum albumin is a well-known marker of nutrition in esrd patients. serum albumin is still the most commonly used nutritional marker in esrd patients. c-reactive...

background: glucocorticoids have several benefits in large animal medicine but apart from their benefits, there are several disadvantages attributed to the use of these drugs. among the disadvantages, disturbance in protein metabolism is one of the side effects of glucocorticoids which has been investigated in human and laboratory animals. objectives: there are no information regarding the effe...
