Homocystein: A new biochemical marker in livestock sector

Cystatin C: A new biochemical marker in livestock sector

The livestock sector contributes largely to the economy of India. Different systemic diseases like renal diseases, neurological and cardiovascular diseases cause huge loss in production and productive potential of livestock in India, which is considered as a major concern for both small and large ruminants. Early detection of diseseses is essential to combat the economic loss. An efficient bioc...

New biochemical marker for bone disease: is it a breakthrough?

A Biochemical Marker in Epidermal Differentiation

Unusual protein containing a high level of histidine and eight other amino acids (i.e. glycine, alanine, serine, threonine, arginine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and tyrosine) is localized in the epidermal granular cell layer of the newborn rat. I t appears that the formation of "histidine-protein" is a step in the sequence of epidermal differentiation terminating in keratinization. This paper...

Studying a specific tumor marker by a new method and analyzing its efficiency in labeling animals

  Purpose: To recognize affective factors in delivering X-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   Materials and Methods: Since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). X-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   Results: Rad...

Is pH a biochemical marker of IQ?

We have measured intracellular brain pH in vivo in 42 boys and found a significant correlation between this biochemical parameter and samples of intelligent behaviour. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported relation between a biochemical marker which is within normal physiological values and intellectual ability. pH is one of the most accurate parameters that can be measured by...
