Objective: To investigate whether 14-3-3 eta protein is detectable in synovial fluid and blood serum of high performance horses and to study whether any significant correlation between this and matrix metalloproteinase 1 and 3 in horse synovial fluid. Design: Clinical study. Animals: Eleven standard breed horses (seven high performances and four controls). Procedures: Blood serum and fetlock...

this study was aimed at the evaluation of the influence of storage under various conditions on the relative concentrations of major protein fractions and their proportion in bovine serum. blood samples were taken from six dairy cattle of a low-land black spotted breed and its crossbreeds. the separated blood serum was fractioned into aliquots. one aliquot was analysed immediately after the sepa...

The presence of a low level of M protein in the peripheral blood <3gm/dl which is below the required cut off for the diagnosis of plasma cell myeloma is known as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Elevated levels of serum M protein and detection of M band on serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) can occur in chronic diseases not related to B cell disorders and not always d...

data regarding the effects of dietary protein on modifying serum lipid and lipoprotein levels are controversial. in this study we have investigated the hypothesis whether dietary protein and protein to carbohydrate ratio could be related to subsequent changes in lipid profile in adults.this 3-yaers follow-up_longitudinal study was conducted on a sample of participants (845 men and 1043 women, a...

To investigate the interaction and adsorption of drug and carbon nanotube on human serum albumin, three anti-cancer drugs ([Pd(phen)(R-gly)]NO3, R = methyl, propyl and amyl) with different hydrophobic tails and anticancer activities were selected. These drugs have better anti-tumor activity and less side effects than that known cis-platinum drug. Human serum albumin is also ...

The amino acid sequence of the M-protein for multiple myeloma is unique compared to polyclonal antibodies in patients’ blood. This uniqueness exploited develop an ultrasensitive detection method utilizing mass spectrometry (MS). involves de novo sequencing full-length M-protein, and a targeted MS/MS assay detect quantify serum samples. Healthy control spiked with NISTmAb serial samples from MM ...

protein status of 194 pregnant women and their newborn at a public and a private maternity hospital in tehran was studied. blood samples were taken from all women before delivery and from cords at delivery of the placenta. the following determinations were made: total serum protein, protein fractions, creatinine and urea. in the private group, significantly higher maternal mean values were foun...
