Contraceptives and serum proteins.

The serum viscosity and the serum proteins.

Equal weights of the various protein fractions in plasma affect the plasma specific gravity equally, whereas weight for weight the fractions exert differing influences on the plasma viscosity. Thus fibrinogen has a greater effect on the plasma viscosity than does globulin, which, in turn, has a greater effect than albumin (Bircher, 1921 ; Naegeli, 1931; Oberst, 1939; Cowan and Harkness, 1947). ...

serum proteins, transaminases and phosphatases in malnutrition

the levels of serum tota1 protein, albumin, transaminases and phosphatases were estimated in a group of children with severe marasmus or mild malnutrition in order to identify some of the associated deficiencies in these syndromes. the biochemical pattern was similar in the normal and malnourished children.

Serum vitamin A status in women users of lowdose oral contraceptives and in postmenopausal women taking hormone replacement therapy.

Background: One of the most important nonenzymatic antioxidant defense systems is vitamin A, and is considered as an important dietary agent for reducing cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the serum vitamin A status in women who used low-dose oral contraceptives (OCs) containing 0.15 mg levonorgestrol and 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and also in...

Behavior of the Serum proteins in starch-agar-gel electrophoresis

Lipoproteins, Cholesterol and Serum Proteins

over a period of 5 months for comparison with levels in people who develop mlyocardial infarction. We have studied 107 normal men for 7 years. Among these 11 developed infarction and 6 angina pectoris. Little change in lipid levels was associated with these events. Electrophoretic patterns early after infarction showed certain relatively characteristic changes, especially increase in a-2 and /3...
