the 60 apparently common carp, cyprinus carpio (mean weight 700g.) divided to two groups (1:control and 2: test) and transferred to 1000 liter indoor fiberglass tanks supplied with static well water, continuous aeration and defined water quality. test group was exposed to 30ppb (low concentration) cadmium as cdcl 2 (merck) control group was without cadmium addition . blood samples were caught r...

Serum protein concentrations provide insight into the nutritional and immune status of organisms. It has been suggested that some marine turtles are capital breeders that fast during the nesting season. In this study, we documented serum proteins in neophyte and remigrant nesting leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea). This allowed us to establish trends across the nesting season to det...

The present study investigated the possible protective effect of Helicteres isora (Sterculiaceae) bark extracts on certain biochemical markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rats. STZ treatment (60 mg/kg/i.p) caused a hyperglycemic state that led to various physiological and biochemical alterations. Blood levels of glucose, urea, uric acid and creatinine, plasma levels of albumin a...

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...

Electrophoresis is a meticulous method in para-clinical science but has received less attention. In this study, the protein profile of synovial fluid of carpal joint and blood serum in buffalo was detected. Sampling was performed by arthrocentesis of 80 left and right forelimbs and obtaining blood serums of 40 Bubalus bubalis in Ahvaz industrial slaughterhouse. Samples were str...

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 ...
