Alkaline Phosphatase in Serum is a Marker of Human Toxocariasis
Background: The present study was carried out on the human population of Kashmir valley to evaluate the status of the biochemical parameters of infected population. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 514 individuals, 298 (57.97%) males and 216 (42.02%) females, 187 (36.38%) were found sero-positive for human toxocariasis. Results: Alkaline phosphatase level was found highe...
متن کاملDevelopment of a marker of estrogenic exposure in human serum.
The deleterious, disruptive effects of estrogen mimics on the endocrine system were discovered after the compounds were released into the environment. Their chemical structure does not obviously resemble that of steroid hormones; hence, their estrogenic effects were totally unexpected. In addition to occupational exposures, environmental estrogens may have played a role in decreasing the quanti...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis Surrogate Marker in Diabetic Patients
Objective: Duplex ultrasonography is a non-invasive, non-expensive screening test for carotid disease. Intima media thickness (IMT) is appropriate for atherosclerosis process diagnosis. Leukoaraisis (LA) increase the risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA). LA patients need preventive medication for CVA. IMT is a non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic test in LA. The aim of this study was evalua...
متن کاملInteraction of thimerosal with proteins—ethylmercury adduct formation of human serum albumin and b-lactoglobulin A
The interaction of thimerosal, an ethylmercury-containing bactericide and fungicide used as preservative in vaccines and other drugs, with free thiols in proteins has been investigated using gradient reversed phase liquid chromatography (LC) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) detection. As model proteins, b-lactoglobulin A (18....
متن کاملNitric oxide circulates in mammalian plasma primarily as an S-nitroso adduct of serum albumin.
We have recently shown that nitric oxide or authentic endothelium-derived relaxing factor generated in a biologic system reacts in the presence of specific protein thiols to form S-nitrosoprotein derivatives that have endothelium-derived relaxing factor-like properties. The single free cysteine of serum albumin, Cys-34, is particularly reactive toward nitrogen oxides (most likely nitrosonium io...
