Blood type biochemistry and human disease

Biochemistry of Blood Platelets

Due to the scope of the discipline, an annual survey of teratology must encompass a broad spectrum of findings from the bio-medical sciences. The first volume in this series does range topically in including reviews on aspects of cytogenetic, pharmacological, radiobiological, and immunological problems. If a field such as teratology is to be reviewed, one cannot expect a high degree of correspo...

Human Biochemistry

This is followed by a symposium on cell-surface glycoconjugates, which includes discussions on expression of glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans in a variety of experimental systems. The final section, entitled "Interactions of cells with their proximal environment," consists of papers on an in vitro assay for anti-cancer compounds, cell-cell interactions in different systems, and the role of ...

Blood Biochemistry of Lower Vertebrates

Introduction Blood biochemistry profiles are often used to assess the physiologic status of lower vertebrate patients, such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. However, there is a general lack of controlled studies designed to clarify the meaning of changes in the blood chemistries of these animals compared to those of domestic mammals. Therefore, the clinical chemistry of lower vertebrat...

Biochemistry and physiology of blood coagulation.

The biochemical era of blood coagulation research begins toward the end of the 19th century, primarily with the work of Alexander Schmidt1 and Paul Morawitz,2 who hypothesized that the fundamental reactions involved in clotting included the activation of prothrombin to thrombin by thromboplastins and the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin by thrombin. Throughout the first half of the twentieth ...
