fifty six holstein lactating cows (71 days in milk; 35 kg/day milk production) were employed in a complete block randomized design of repeated measurements. cows were randomly allocated to two treatments based on their parity. cows in group 1 were fed a balanced total mixed ration (600 g concentrate /kg dm and 400 g forages /kg dm) with 50 g rumen protected methionine (rpm) per head per day (me...

thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is the result of multiple thrombus disseminated in small arterioles throughout the body. principle damage is in the endothelium of small vessels and capillaries. from 1982 to 1999, 28 patients (16 female and 12 male) have been treated for ttp. the outcome was evaluated for risk factors and prognosis. these patients were 18 to 69 years old. all had neurologica...

abstract background: childhood leukemia, the most common type of cancer in children and teens, is a cancer of the white blood cells. as antioxidants can promote immune system against all types of cancer, the aim of this study was to explore the metabolic regulation and anti-oxidative effect of sesquiterpen-rich extract of ferula asafoetida (fa) on children with leukemia. materials and methods: ...

objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of gender on plasma myostatin at rest and in response to acute resistance exercise in elderly men and women. methods & materials: 12 healthy older men (age=69±1.23 and bmi=23±0.3 kg/m2) and 12 healthy older women (age=68±2.14 and bmi=23±0.4 kg/m2) volunteered for participation in this study. 72hours after the determination of musc...

The goal of the study was to measure plasma levels soluble TAM receptors (sTAMRs: Tyro3, Axl and Mer), growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6), free-PROS1 (Protein S), C4bp-protein two disintegrin metallopeptidase domains (ADAM 10 17) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). subjects were 56 patients, including 14 cases severe AP 42 mild AP, 20 healthy normal controls. Plasma three sTAMRs, Gas6, free ...

When blood plasma proteins are depleted by bleeding with return of the washed red blood cells (plasmapheresis) it is possible to bring dogs to a steady state of hypoproteinemia and a uniform plasma protein production on a basal low protein diet. These dogs are clinically normal but their resistance to infection is distinctly below normal. Introduction of variables into this standardized existen...

interaction of drugs with serum albumin, the most abundant protein in plasma, has a great significance in pharmaceutical sciences. it can affect the biological activity, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics of drugs and design of dosages. determination of the impact of chemical modifications of albumin and its structural changes upon interaction with drugs are very important when drugs bind with albu...

The current study was done to investigate the preclinical safety and toxicology of Althaea officinalis extract as naturopathic medicine in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Specimens were treated with 0 (control), 2.5, 5 and 10 g of marshmallow extract for 45 days. Plasma biochemical parameters were measured after 15 and 45 days. Total protein, albumin and globulin levels (p < /em>>0.05). During t...
