Serum Vitamin A, total protein, serum electrophoresis, were determined in pediatric patients with urolithiasis (mostly bladder stones) and compared to that of normal healthy volunteers. The level of Vitamin A in healthy volunteers was found to be significantly (P<0.001) higher than that of patients with urolithiasis. The amount of total serum protein, how­ever, was not significantly different i...

pure submandibular saliva was collected from anaesthetized vitamin - a - treated and control rats with using of pilocarpine as secretogogue, and then the serum was collected by cardiac puncutre. intraperitoneal injection of a large single dose (100,000 iu/kg) of vitamin a changed total protein, calcium and sodium concentrations of saliva so that sodium level of submandibular saliva was reduced ...

In this study 71 head of conceiving ewe and their progeny (91 head) from the flock of Lori-Bakhtiari sheep (360 head), in Sholi Station were randomly selected to determine the relationship between the immunoglobulin (IgG) concentration in the ewe's serum and colostrum, and lamb's serum. Ewe blood sample, colostrum of ewe and blood of the lamb was taken 2 weeks before parturition, 1 to 8 hours a...

Nucleocapsid (N) protein of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), one of the viral structural proteins, inducesstrong antibody response in natural infection. In this study, a simple, recombinant N protein-based dot-blottest was developed to serologically examine chicken serum samples for the presence of IBV antibody.Initially, 72 serum samples were tested for the presence of IBV antibody using a c...

Neisseria meningitidis is a major causative agent of bacterial septicemia and meningitis in humans. Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent disease caused by strains of N.meningitidis serogroup B. The Class 1 Outer Membrane Protein (OMP) has been named porA which is a cation selective transmembrane protein of 45 KDa that forms trimeric pore in the meningococcal outer membrane. PorA from ser...

Assessing C-reactive protein concentration in lung TB as a predictor of sputum conversion and identifying the link active Serum-C severity disease. Newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients age group &amp; gender compared to healthy people control group. A high-dose experimental test C-ELISA was used measure Serum-C-reactive protein. ANOVA t tests have been determine mathematical significance. In w...

serum levels of glucose, bilirubin, calcium, phosphorus, protein and albumin were measured in a group of nine healthy men before, and on the first, 10th, 20th and 29th day of rarnadan, and four weeks after islamic fasting was terminated. there was a significant reduction in body weight, a significant increase in serum bilirubin and a slight decrease in calcium during ramadan. serum glucose decr...
