Long-term incubation of proteins with glucose leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that are recognized by AGE receptors. Glyoxal, glycolaldehyde (GA), and methylglyoxal are potential intermediates for the formation of AGE structures such as Nomega-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML). We evaluated the contribution of these aldehydes to the formation of AGE structure(s), parti...

Here we describe the preparation of BSA-FITC-loaded microcapsules as a model protein system for in vivo delivery. BSA-FITC-loaded microcapsules were prepared using a mono-axial nozzle ultrasonic atomizer, varying a number of parameters to determine optimal conditions. The preparation method chosen resulted in a BSA-FITC encapsulation efficiency of approximately 60% and a particle size of approx...

in this research, effect of bovine serum albumin (bsa) on motility and fertility of indigenous rooster spermatozoa was evaluated using 20 and 48 indigenous roosters and hens, respectively. semen was collected and pooled. in the first experiment, the pooled semen was diluted and divided into four aliquots.the treatments were included the diluted semen without bsa and with 1% bsa; in each group, ...

Investigation on interaction of azo dyes with bovine serum albumin as carrier protein will be important in the field of toxicology because of distribution and transportation of dyes in blood. In this regard, the interaction between the azo dye, trisodium (4E)-3-oxo-4-[(4- sulfonato-1- naphthyl) hydrazono] naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate (C20H11N2Na3O10S3), known as Amaranth and bovine serum albumin...

Antibody  based  methods  have  numerous  advantages  compared  to  other  detection  methods. However, heavy metals cannot stimulate the immune antibody response; it is the main obstacle for preparation of the antibodies that used in detection methods of the metals. The production of the immunogenic Pb complexes by using cost benefit linkers of EDTA and DTPA were investigated in this  study.BS...

BACKGROUND Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are typically composed of several to tens of gold atoms which are stabilized with biomacromolecules such as bovine serum albumin (BSA). Au NCs fluoresces in the visible to near infrared region, in a size-dependent manner. AuNCs solutions have potential as fluorophore in a wide range of biomedical applications such as biodetection, biosensing and bioimaging i...

The effect of culture system and protein supplementation on the development of one-cell porcine embryos was investigated. One hundred and sixty-four one-cell embryos were collected at slaughter from 19 handmated gifts. Culture systems evaluated were microdrops of Whitten's medium (WM) under paraffin oil (M) or tubes with 4.0 ml of WM (T). Also tested was T with a 2.0 ml paraffin oil overlay (O)...
