Fractioning and/or preheating treatment on the rheological properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) gels induced by microbial transglutaminase (MTG) has been reported that they may improve the functional properties. However, the optimum condition was varied depending on the experimental factors. This study was to evaluate the effect of red bean protein isolate (RBPI) on the rheological propertie...

OBJECTIVE Inflammation and autoimmune responses play an important role in recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Serum globulin levels are a commonly used clinical index that represents inflammation and autoimmune response. This study aimed to determine the relationship between baseline serum globulin levels and the risk of recurrence after ablation in lone AF patients. METHODS We enrolled 3...

Alpha2u-globulin is an adult male rat-specific protein that accumulates spontaneously or inductively in the renal proximal tubular epithelium and forms microscopically observable deposits, which are generally referred to as "hyaline droplets," whereas a specific type of deposits is referred to as "eosinophilic bodies" by Japanese toxicologic pathologists. We compared hyaline droplets and eosino...

Expression of the rat á2u-globulin gene family is regulated in the adult male liver by a number of hormones, including growth hormone, thyroid hormone and several steroids. Upon injection into ovariectomized females, estrogens first induce á2u-globulin expression and then suppress this gene after several days of hormone administration. To study this phenomenon, we developed a mouse L-cell line ...

It is generally agreed that y globulin concentration in spinal fluid is elevated in some 60% of cases of multiple sclerosis (Kabat, Freedman, Murray, and Knaub, 1950; Roboz, Hess, and Forster, 1953; Yahr, Goldensohn, and Kabat, 1954; Ivers, McKenzie, McGuckin, and Goldstein, 1961; Schapira and Park, 1961; Foster and Horn, 1962). Whilst little is known of its origin or direct pathological signif...

Passively acquired antibody may interfere with the active antibody response to live viral vaccines such as measles and rubella. To evaluate the duration of this inhibitory effect, we measured the measles and rubella antibody responses of Apache children immunized with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine at varying intervals after administration of an immune globulin termed bacterial polysacchar...

The albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio can be an immunological indicator of sheep which influenced by reproductive status such as pregnant and lactation conditions. However, a study A/G during in thin-tailed is still lack. This aimed to determine the levels pregnancy lactation. used twelve ewes sheeps (seven sheeps, five lactating sheeps) rearing Berbah, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Blood samples were collect...
