1. Extravascular albumin in carcass, skin and gut of rats was extracted and the albumin content estimated by several methods. Assay by electrophoresis on acrylamide gel, by immunodiffusion and by radioimmunoassay were in essential agreement. The method used previously, precipitation with antibody followed by alcoholTeA extraction, underestimates the amount of albumin in tissue extracts, because...

INTRODUCTION Systemic inflammatory response in individuals with cancer is related to a progressive reduction in total body mass, especially lean mass. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the association between nutritional status and systemic inflammatory response in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. METHODOLOGY A case series study was carried out involving 30 male ...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To examine symptom reports and physiologic parameters in adolescents using the Eating After Transplant (EAT!) intervention during recovery after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). DESIGN Repeated measures design. SETTING HSCT service at a pediatric teaching institution in the southern United States. SAMPLE 16 adolescents recovering from a first-time allogen...

Background: Arsenic is one of the most toxic metalloids. Anemia and leukopenia are common results of poisoning with arsenic, which may happen due to a direct hemolytic or cytotoxic effect on blood cells. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Nasturtium officinale on blood cells and antioxidant enzymes in rats exposed to sodium (meta)arsenite. Methods: 32...

To identify the rate-limiting step(s) in the hepatic production of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), we investigated the intracellular distribution and rate of intracellular transport of de novo synthesized apolipoprotein B (apoB). For all secretory proteins examined (i.e. albumin, large molecular weight apoB, and small molecular weight apoB) the rough and smooth microsomes contained the ma...

Objective(s): Cancer diagnosis in its early stages of progress, can enhance the efficiency of treatment utilizing conventional therapy methods. Non-biocompatibility of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) has made a big challenge against their usage as a contrast agent. Efficient coverage by biomolecules such as albumin can be a solution to overcome this problem. Herein, albumin-coated IONPs were p...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to systematically review the literature summarizing the effect on mortality of albumin compared to non-albumin solutions during the fluid resuscitation phase of burn injured patients. DATA SOURCES We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL and the content of two leading journals in burn care, Burns and Journal of Burn Care and Research. STUDY SELECTION Two reviewers...

serum albumin is the most aboundant protein in blood plasma. its two major roles aremaintaining osmotic pressure and depositing and transporting compounds. in this paper,albumin-methanol solution simulation is carried out by three techniques including montecarlo (mc), molecular dynamic (md) and langevin dynamic (ld) simulations. byinvestigating energy changes by time and temperature (between 27...

in this research, the effect of different storage conditions (cold, semi technical and traditional storages) at 180 days after storage on the qualitative and quantitive properties of garlic populations were investigated. white and pink populations were packaged in wooden boxes and net pockets and factors i. e. weight loss, moisture content, spoilage, firmness and total pyruvic acid were measure...

Fasted or weight-category athletes manage their training under strict diet conditions that could impair the stress-recovery balance and result in acute or chronic fatigue. However, to date, no validated biomarker are available to quantify this phenomena. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of a specific index combining plasma albumin and weight change to detect nutrition-related ri...
