An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of licorice powder (LP) in diet on performance, egg traits and some serum biochemical parameters of laying hens in the late laying period. Totally 180 Hy-Line W-36 layer hens aged 55-68 weeks with similar weight were selected and assigned to 5 treatments, 3 replicates and 12 hens in each replicate in a completely randomized...

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A₂ (Lp-PLA₂) is a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Plasma Lp-PLA₂ is mainly associated with apolipoprotein (apo)B-containing lipoproteins, primarily with low density lipoproteins (LDLs). Importantly, only a proportion of circulating lipoproteins contain Lp-PLA₂. We determined the plasma levels of Lp-PLA₂-bound apoB (apoB/Lp-PLA₂) in patients with prima...

A new method that allows rapid phenotyping of genetic Lp(a) glycoprotein types in large numbers of samples is described. The method is based on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of reduced serum or plasma in horizontal slab gels followed by immunoblotting with polyclonal anti-Lp(a) lipoprotein or monoclonal anti-Lp(a) glycoprotein antibodies. Phenotyping of 194 unrelated, healthy subje...

Sera from 11 individuals which were classified as Lp(a-) by direct gel diffusion and by absorption tests showed the presence of Lp(a) lipoprotein when the sera were concentrated 120-fold. This Lp(a) antigen was demonstrated by gel diffusion to be indistinguishable from Lp-lipoprotein isolated from known Lp(a+) sera. The Lp(a) preparations from sera classified Lp(a-) also showed electrophoretic ...

In this paper we study the problem of computing the smallest-width annulus for a convex polytope in R d. This generalizes a topic from tolerancing metrology to higher dimensions, of which the planar case has been investigated by Swanson, Lee and Wu. We show this problem to be equivalent to the problem of computing diierent variants of Hausdorr-minimal spheres. We can formulate the latter proble...
