The albumin globulin ratio (A/G ratio) is meant to represent the ratio of alterations in serum proteins, since, in liver disease, globulins (G) rise following serum albumin (SA) decrease. pathophysiological value, its' use has been limited. Alternatively, we have developed an index, the globulin compensation index (GCI) to measure the changes in serum globulins when albumin is decreased. The in...

BACKGROUND To assess the preoperative nutritional status of patients with various disorders and to provide data for pre- and postoperative patient management plans, particularly in the elderly. There is no published information on age-matched and disease-matched preoperative nutritional/immunologic status for orthopedic patients, especially in the elderly, in Jeju. METHODS In total, 331 patie...

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...

the study on the serum protein electrophoresis following thyroidectomy in a puppies showed a significant decrease in the albumin and -a-ratio associated with a relative increase in gamma and total globulin, but alterations of alpha i and beta globulin were not statistically charcteristic in our thyroidectomized dogs.

In nephrosclerosis (Volhard and Fahr classification of nephritis) there was no decrease in the plasma proteins. With heart failure the ratio of albumin to globulin fell from the normal 1.7 +/- 0.3 to about 1. There is a sharp difference between the two types of glomerulonephritis in the effect on plasma proteins. In the vascular-interstitial type the effect was the same as in nephrosclerosis. T...

Abstract This work evaluated the functional properties of sesame protein fractions in order to determine their potential food applications. Sesame seed were prepared according solubility: water-soluble (albumin), salt-soluble (globulin), alkaline-soluble (glutelin) and ethanol-soluble (prolamin). Globulin was most abundant fraction, consisting 91% protein, followed by glutelin, albumin prolamin...

Equal weights of the various protein fractions in plasma affect the plasma specific gravity equally, whereas weight for weight the fractions exert differing influences on the plasma viscosity. Thus fibrinogen has a greater effect on the plasma viscosity than does globulin, which, in turn, has a greater effect than albumin (Bircher, 1921 ; Naegeli, 1931; Oberst, 1939; Cowan and Harkness, 1947). ...

Normal aqueous humour and the aqueous humour of patients with cataract is virtually protein-free. Patients having retinoblastoma and non-malignant postinflammatory lesions show significantly high quantities of proteins in the aqueous humour. Retinoblastoma is associated with an increase in the globulin content and an albumin/globulin ratio below unity, while non-malignant postinflammatory intra...
