Fig. 1 Comparisons in two burned patients between the rate of catabolism ofplasma albumin and y G globulin (as glkg body weight) and the basal metabolic rate (BMR) as percentages above the expected normal value. The patient treated in the cool environment had a burned area covering 30% of the body surface, 10% being full-thickness skin loss; the patient treated in the warm environment had a bur...

Lactation increases considerably the demand for amino acids over that required for basal needs. The demand imposed varies with the quantity of milk produced and, between species, with the protein content of milk. Using data on milk composition from Blaxter (1989) and assuming milk production of 60, 1000 and 50 000 ml/d for a rat, human subject and dairy cow respectively, the ideal protein requi...

In order to examine radiation-induced proteins in an extremely radio-resistant bacterium, it became possibleto perform comparative proteomic analysis on radio-resistance Bacillus megaterium WHO as a wildtypestrain for the first time. Variation in cellular proteins profiles of the Bacillus megaterium WHO after 5KGy γ-irradiation were analyzed by two-dimensional poly acryl amide...

Objective(s): Arachidonic Acid/5-lipoxygenase (AA/5-LOX) pathway connects lipid metabolism and proinflammatory cytokine, which are both related to the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the role of AA/5-LOX pathway in progression of NAFLD, and the effect of zileuton, an inhibitor of 5-LOX, in this mod...

TP53 acts as a tumor suppressor in cancer. It induces cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to cellular stress and damage. p53 gene alteration could cause uncontrolled cell proliferation.In the present study, we used TP53 gene as the seed in the construction of a protein-protein functional association network to identify genes that might involve in tumorgenesis process with TP53. TP53 prot...

additional groups are added to the protein molecule. The construction of the protein molecule may conceivably be demonstrated either by analysis or by synthesis. At present,, owing to the peculiar difficulties which surround the task, neither of these methods has been completely successful. It has, howeVer, been possible to split off from the proteins certain groups of atoms the chemical struct...
