Serum protein Serum contains many different proteins, but the two components of diagnostic significance relative to the chemistry profile are albumin and globulin. Albumin is synthesized in the liver and is the protein primarily responsible for the oncotic pressure of plasma. A large portion of the globulin fraction is made up of immunoglobulins which are synthesized by lymphoid tissue. The rat...

Ten females and ten males of each of the Rhenish, Italian and Landes breeds of geese were force fed for four weeks. Blood samples were collected from the birds at weekly intervals beginning from the week before force feeding, the total protein and its fractions, total lipid and cholesterol were determined in the faultless blood serum samples. As regards total proteins level, the values did not ...

Heavy metals are the source of substantial environmental and health problems. Vanadium pentaoxide (V2O5) is an environmental and industrial pollutant that affects body physiology via the food, drinking water and through the air. Toxicological study of V2O5, following acute (1day) and subacute (7, 14, 21 days) exposure, alter behaviour and serum biochemistry in Wistar rats in terms of significan...

A 67-year-old man presented with dyspepsia for 4 months. Physical examination revealed a large nontender mass in the right upper quadrant of abdomen. Blood pressure was 120/80 mmHg. Laboratory investigations were notable for elevation of serum creatinine 2.1 mg/dL (normal 0.6-1.6 mg/dL). Urinalysis was normal. Blood leucocyte count was 6.3x103 /dL with 53% neutrophils, 38% lymphocytes, and 6% m...
