A comparative study of serum biochemical and hematological parameters from Andinoacara rivulatus Ichthyoelephas humeralis in Los Ríos Province, Ecuador, was carried out. Two the native species that are most commercialized Quevedo, Mocache Fumisa, were identified; 60 specimens captured each area (180 total). factorial design (3×2) used: three habitat zones (Fumisa, Mocache) two (A. I. humeralis)...

the study on the serum protein electrophoresis following thyroidectomy in a puppies showed a significant decrease in the albumin and -a-ratio associated with a relative increase in gamma and total globulin, but alterations of alpha i and beta globulin were not statistically charcteristic in our thyroidectomized dogs.

The immunologic response of graft recipients to antilymphocyte globulin has been studied. The clearance from the serum of (125)I-labeled antilymphocyte globulin was studied in 15 graft recipients previously treated with antilymphocyte globulin and in 4 control patients not previously treated with antilymphocyte globulin. The mean serum half-life of antilymphocyte globulin was 7.2 days in contro...

Recent studies have demonstrated that the factors responsible for the various serological reactions currently employed for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis represent macroglobulins which, in the isolated state, have a corrected sedimentation coefficient of approximately 19S (1-5). In serum and plasma, these proteins exist as complexes with low molecular weight y-globtulins and show a highe...

Background: Garcinia kola seed is consumed indiscriminately in Nigeria without recourse to its potential toxicity. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the toxicity of the aqueous extract of G. kola seeds on selected tissues of male rats.  Methods: Thirty male rats (215.00 ± 18.58 g) were assigned into four groups: A, B, C and D which received 0.5 ml of distilled water, 2...

the aim of this research paper is the introduction of a novel mathematical approach to improvethe accuracy of the results of air pollution dispersion models based on the calibration of input backgroundconcentrations. using the dunkirk area of the city of nottingham in the uk as a case study, an air pollutionmodel in adms-roads was created for developing the mathematical approach. the iterative ...

Free thyroxin (FT4) concentrations, total thyroxin/thyroxin-binding globulin (T4/TBG) ratios, and thyrotropin (TSH) and albumin concentrations were measured in serum in a longitudinal study in each of the three trimesters of 25 normal pregnancies. In late pregnancy, FT4 estimates by assays reputedly either affected or unaffected by albumin were in the lower half of the reference range for nonpr...

We have studied the serum electrophoretic patterns in 25 patients with sarcoidosis. The electrophoretic serum analysis was made by the method of MacDonald et al,1 normal values in paper electrophoresis are presented in Table I. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was established in each case by clinical and laboratory studies, the biopsy showing the usual microscopic picture of non-casting epitheloid ...
