background:extrauterine growth restriction remains a common and serious problem in newborns especially who are small, immature, and critically ill. very low birth weight infants (vlbw) had 97% and 40% growth failure at 36 weeks and 18-22 months post-conceptual age respectively. the postnatal development of premature infants is critically dependent on an adequate nutritional intake that mimics a...

1. From 5 weeks of age, control and experimental rats were given diets containing 210 and 31 g protein/kg respectively, and killed for analysis at 0, 2, 5, 8, 12 and 20 d after the start of the experiment. At these times estimates were made of plasma albumin concentration, plasma volume and total vascular and extravascular albumin mass. 2. Plasma albumin concentrations were significantly lower ...

data on 300 kermani sheep from kermani breeding center of shahrbabak were utilized in the present research. horizontal polyacryle amide electrophoresis was employed to detect polymorphism of transferrin and albumin, while acetate cellulose being utilized for hemoglobin. three genotypes of hemoglobin were observed(aa, ab and bb with respective frequencies of 4.6, 43.8 and 51.6). frequency of a a...

Introduction: Limited data are available on the relationship between nutritional status and tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the body mass index (BMI) and serum albumin level in patients with active tuberculosis (ATB) and latent tuberculosis (LTB). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 17 patients newly diagnosed with pulmonary TB  who we...

conclusions our study shows a relationship between cimt and renal parameters, including egfr and albuminuria. this study confirms the importance of intensive examinations for early detection of atherosclerosis and treatment of risk factors. patients and methods this cross-sectional study was included 205 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). we recorded clinical and biochemical data su...

We explored GA, BW, Apgar score, CRIB II score, and serum albumin levels as univariate predictors of mortality in extremely low birth weight infants. Medical records of 564 extremely low birth weight infants were reviewed retrospectively. The infants were grouped as survivors (group I), expired ≤ 7th postnatal day (group II), and expired > 7th postnatal day (group III). The predictive value for...

Background: Due to multiple roles of albumin in the body, injection of its medicinal product as one of the therapeutic or management strategies under conditions such as severe bleeding, burns, liver failure, and neonatal hemolytic diseases is on the physicians' agenda. Considering that albumin is the most abundant plasma protein, designing an appropriate method to purify it is highly important....

Albumin, a major serum protein synthesized and secreted by the liver, is one of several serum proteins whose synthesis is regulated by hormonal and nutritional factors as well as during liver development. As a part of our studies on the regulation of serum protein synthesis, we have isolated mouse albumin mRNA by direct immunoprecipitation of albumin-synthesizing polysomes and oligo(dT)-cellulo...

Malnutrition is common in dialysis patients. Low serum albumin is associated with increased mortality. Nutrition supplements have been used with success in dialysis patients in increasing serum albumin levels. The National Kidney Foundation of South Carolina Nutrition Supplement Program provides grants for supplements. We studied the effect of supplements on albumin levels in peritoneal dialysi...
