Evaluation of Alpha One Anti-Trypsin and Haptoglobin
Hypertension according to Zhao and Alsop [1] is abnormal high blood pressure in the arteries. It often remains asymptomatic until late in its course. Devin and Binder [2] reported that risks of stroke, myocardial infarction, angina, heart failure, kidney failure or early death from a cardiovascular cause are directly correlated with blood pressure. It is often called silent killer because it ha...
متن کاملHaptoglobin phenotypes among Egyptians.
Serum haptoglobins have been found to be useful genetic markers. The distribution of the different haptoglobin genes was found to vary in different parts of the world (Giblett, I96I). Thus Orientals and Eskimos were found to have a high incidence of the gene Hp2 and Negroes a high incidence of Hp'. Caucasians in continental Europe, Australia, and the United States have revealed an intermediate ...
متن کاملLecture 8 : Finding structural similarities among proteins ( I )
Living systems have evolved a duality of information storage and function. Heritable information is stored encoded in DNA sequences, but function is obtained after the encoded information is translated into a polypeptide sequence a copolymer synthesized from the 20 different proteinogenic amino acids and this polypeptide spontaneously folds into a well defined three-dimensional structure. In ge...
متن کاملSimilarities and Differences between Haptoglobin in Mammals and Pit 54 in Poultry – a Review
The acute phase response (APR) is a natural systemic reaction raised to neutralize the effect of challenging agents (infections, traumas, neoplasms, immune disorders) that impair the homeostasis. Acute phase proteins (APP) are a component of APR. The purpose of the present review is to summarize the available information about haptoglobin (Нр) in mammals and its analogue PIT 54 in Gallus gallus...
متن کاملMeasurements of haptoglobin by the reaction with concanavalin A in sera of patients with ovarian tumours.
The concentration of haptoglobin in sera of healthy women and patients with non-malignant and malignant ovarian tumours was measured by two methods, i.e. complex formation with haemoglobin and complex formation with concanavalin A. High correlation (r = 0.74) between both the methods was found in the group of healthy women, but correlation coefficients were much lower in the group of non-malign...
