Studies on glycosylated plasma proteins in diabetic patients.

The level of glycosylated haemoglobin in the blood is considered as an index of long term blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Glycosylation of structural proteins also occur. The present study describes the levels of glycosylated blood proteins (nonenzymatic) and blood glycoproteins (enzymatic glycosylation) in four groups of diabetic patients (n = 80) as well as non-diabetic control sub...

Studies on Platelet Proteins

T HE IMPORTANCE of blood platelets in hemostasis is now well established.’ Many of the physiologic properties of platelets suggest the presence of a contractile protein and Bettex-Galland and L#{252}scher ( 1961 ) succeeded in isolating such a contractile protein, thrombosthenin, and studied some of its properties.24 Grette ( 1962 ) confirmed the presence of this protein in pig platelets.5 Sinc...

Electrophoretic studies of plasma proteins in normal children.

By ELIZABETH L. KNAPP, PH.D., AND JOSEPH I. ROUTH, PH.D. Iowa City, Iowa E LECTROPHORETIC analysis has been widely used in recent years as a method of study of the various components of the plasma proteins. The method has proved to be a valuable tool in the study of a great many diseases in which marked deviations from the normal electrophoretic pattern of plasma occur. For evaluation of the ch...

Studies on human platelet proteins.

D URING the last ten years evidence has been presented from different laboratories that fibrinogen may not be essential for thrombin-mediated platelet aggregation.14 Although the presence, in platelets, of a thrombinsensitive protein other than fibrinogen has been reported from this laboratory and also by other workers,5 #{176} there is no report of its isolation, structure, physicochemical pro...
