In the chicken, serum gamma globulin (CGG) is preferentially transferred by the follicular epithelium of the ovary to the developing ova. The concentration of gamma globulin in the yolk of the unfertilized egg is many times the concentration of chicken serum albumin (CSA). This transfer occurs largely during the 4 to 5 days preceding ovulation when the growth of the ovum is most rapid. Thus, in...

It has been previously established that heat induces the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aqueous solutions. In biological systems, ROS cause oxidative damage predominantly to proteins due to their abundance and sensitivity to oxidation. Proteins oxidized by the action of X-rays represent long-lived reactive species, which trigger the secondary generation of ROS (Bruskov et al. (20...

Background Prostate cancer is the second most common cancers in the world which causing harms and waste cost. Furthermore more prostate treatments are in effective and lead to male infertility. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the role gamma radiation with silver nano particles in treatment of human prostate cancer cell line in vitro. MaterialsAndMethods Human prostate cancer cell line DU1...

Total serum proteins and its fractions were estimated in 468 infants and children from birth to 4 years in relation to age, sex and dietary pattern. The mean values of total serum proteins and its fractions showed some changes with age, especially in gamma globulins, which was high at birth and showed a decrease at the age of 3 months, after which it increased and attained an adult level at the...

1. Sera of animals immunized against Japanese B encephalitis, Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis, and Western equine encephalomyelitis viruses were fractionated by electrophoresis. 2. Electrophoretic patterns of rabbit sera before and after immunization against Japanese B virus showed no consistent change traceable to antibody formation. 3. To determine the antibody content, the electrophoreti...

Using a fluorometric HPLC method, we determined delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in sera and urine samples from 16 lead workers with blood lead levels ranging from 19 to 107 microG/100 ml. The concentration of ALA in serum correlated highly with the urinary ALA concentration (gamma = 0.957 for ALA mg/1; gamma = 0.967 for ALA mg/g creatinine). The ALA concentrations in the serum of lead workers r...

The serum concentration of lipids and composition of fatty acids after overnight fasting were studied in 18 patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated for 12 weeks with either 20 ml of evening primrose oil containing 9% of gamma-linolenic acid or olive oil. The serum concentrations of oleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and apolipoprotein B decreased and those of linoleic acid, gamma-linolenic a...

An alteration of the blood serum proteins in patients with catarrhal jaundice has been amply established by the development of a positive cephalin flocculation (1). A standard emulsion composed of cephalin and cholesterol, which remains stable in 0.2 ml. to 0.1 ml. normal serum, diluted 1: 21, tends to flocculate and precipitate when added under identical conditions to the serum of patients wit...
