Bone response to a single bout of exercise can be observed with biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption. The purpose of this study was to examine the response of bone biochemical markers to a single bout of exhaustive high-impact exercise. 15 physically active young subjects volunteered to participate. The subjects performed continuous bilateral jumping with the ankle plantarflexor...

Miscarriage is defined as pregnancy loss before 20 weeks, or fetus less than 500 grams before the age of viability [1], with more than 4 fifth occurring in the first trimester [2]. Threatened miscarriage affects one fifth of women, with the uncertainty about its prognosis, many biochemical markers have been studied to predict its outcome [3]. However, the differentiation of normal and abnormal ...

In the present study species like Mangifera indica, Linn., Cassia fistula, Linn., and Eucalyptus hybrid were exposed to different air pollution load for short duration (active biomonitoring). Variation in biochemical parameters like chlorophyll, protein, soluble sugar free amino acid, ascorbic acid, nitrate reductase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase in the leaves were found to be pollution ...

Traditional prognostic markers in breast cancer include histological variables such as tumor size, grade, and axillary node status. In recent years some new potential prognostic markers of a biochemical nature have been described: estradiol receptors, progesterone receptors, epidermal growth factor receptors, erbB-2 proto-oncogene, and certain proteolytic enzymes. None of these new markers exce...

Fatty acid composition of individual species of cyanobacteria is conserved and it may be used as a phylogenetic marker. The previously proposed classification system was based solely on biochemical data. Today, new genomic data are available, which support a need to update a previously postulated FA-based classification of cyanobacteria. These changes are necessary in order to adjust and synchr...

Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), or glycated haemoglobin, is he product of a non-enzymatic reaction of glycation and an mportant biochemical marker that is widely used to estimate ong-term glycaemic control in diabetic patients. Given the averge lifespan of red blood cells, this marker allows the evaluation f glycaemic control over the past 2–3 months as well as the uture risk of developing diabetes-re...

A challenge to biochemically monitoring alcohol consumption in pregnancy is the prohibitive costs of collecting thousands of blood samples. This pilot study looks at the feasibility of using residual samples to monitor chronic and acute alcohol consumption in pregnancy. Residual anomalies screening samples (n = 150, 2006/7) were tested for carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT, chronic marker...

Introduction PFAPA syndrome (periodic fever, aphtous stomatitis, pharyngitis, adenitis) is an autoinflammatory disease, for which no genetic marker has been identified yet, and its etiology remains unknown. However, the clinical and biochemical similarities to other autoinflammatory conditions, including Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), suggest that a genetic impairment might constitute the ...

background spirulina is one of the most profitable known microalgae in the world, which is used as food and superfood. in the other hand, spirulina is a useful source of healthy components. it seems that the spirulina is transformable so that the introduction of a selectable marker is needed. objectives the purpose of this study was to determine a suitable selection marker for spirulina platens...

Dilution cloning of adherent mammalian cells is a very frequent practice in most molecular and cell biology laboratories. It is commonly used for isolation of specific biochemical mutants, and cell strains with marker chromosomes. In this report, we present a modified and simple dilution cloning method that allows even inexperienced workers to successfully clone adherent mammalian cells.
