Serum siderophilin in kwashiorkor.
Kwashiorkor is known to be associated with low plasma proteins (Edozien, 1960) and low serum ironbinding capacity (Edozien and Udeozo, 1960). Unpublished observations of Neale and Soothill (1958) confirmed that the iron-binding capacity was down to about one-third of a normal level, but showed that the siderophilin (syn. transferrin) was much more profoundly depressed-down to 6 mg./ 100 ml., co...
متن کاملSerum immunoglobulins in kwashiorkor.
Infection and protein calorie malnutrition frequently coexist (Smythe, 1958; Brown, 1965; Phillips and Wharton, 1968), and though it is apparent that infection may affect nutrition adversely, it is difficult to prove that malnutrition is a factor in poor response to infection. In 1965 the World Health Organization Expert Committee on nutrition stated: 'The concept that malnutrition could make m...
متن کاملIdentification of Amino Acids Involve in Indium Binding To Serum Human Apo-Transferrin
Indium is a heavy metal belonging to group IIIa. It is used as a radioimaging and chemotherapeutic agent in diagnosis and also in the treatment of cancers. It is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism and reduce cell growth in cancer tissue. The present report was established to study the binding of iron and indium to apo-transferrin (apo-tf) and to identify amino acids involv...
متن کاملThe Basic Amino Acids of Serum Proteins
The importance of a classification of proteins based on amino acid composition has been previously pointed out (1,2). A measure of success has been achieved only with the keratinoid tissues and the protamines (3). The protamines, moreover, seem to form a special class of proteins. This leaves the keratins as the only true proteins which have been classified on a purely chemical basis. Rlock and...
متن کاملSerum transaminases and isocitric dehydrogenase in kwashiorkor.
Serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (G-OT), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (G-PT), and isocitric dehydrogenase (ICD) have been estimated in six groups of subjects, namely, normal British adults, normal Nigerian adults, undernourished Nigerian adults and children, Nigerian children with florid protein malnutrition (kwashiorkor), and cases of protein malnutrition after treatment. The normal ran...
