Bovine serum albumin is one of the major serum proteins; it plays an important role as a result of its functional and nutritional properties which have bioactive peptides. Adsorption method was used to separate protein, which involves hydroxyapatite, synthetic hydroxyapatite, and active babassu coal. Initially, characterization was carried out using the zeta potential of the adsorbents. Kinetic...

The S(35)-label of S(35)-BSA was detected in the liver tissue of rabbits to the extent of 0.02 per cent (10 microg or approximately 10(14) molecules) of the injected material at 140 days after injection. The rate of loss of antigen at the termination of the experiment was of such an order that significant amounts would be expected to persist for at least several years. Data are reported which e...

Abstract: Background: Bendamustine-loaded albumin nanoparticles were prepared using different concentrations of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) with the goal delivering medication to particular cancer cells. Materials and Procedures: The simple coacervation technique increasing BSA. characterized for process yield, particle size, surface morphology, drug loading capacity (%), size distribution (Poly...

Three of 16 rabbits injected (intravenously) daily with crystalline bovine serum albumin (BSA) for periods in excess of 10 wk developed chronic glomerulonephritis. In vivo, animals with chronic proteinuria formed variable quantities of soluble complex after injection of antigen while animals without proteinuria exhibited rapid removal of the injected BSA. In vitro studies demonstrated that a ma...

The aim of this retrospective study was to examine whether serum albumin levels offer a good marker of nutritional status in patients with burns. Serum albumin levels have been used to evaluate nutritional status in burns patients, even though these levels are affected by various factors and are not specific to malnutrition. To clarify whether provision of nutrition or presence of inflammation ...

The effects of 17 beta-estradiol and tamoxifen (TAM) on the proliferation of responsive MCF-7 and unresponsive HBC-4 human breast cancer cells were studied in a defined culture medium containing insulin (2 micrograms/ml), transferrin (2 micrograms/ml), ethanolamine (2 microM), and selenite (25 nM). MCF-7 cells grew at a population-doubling rate of 2.0 days in serum-free medium and at a rate of ...

       In this study, we examined the antioxidant activities of methanolic extract of three endemic species of Salvia from Iran (S. lachno...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the inhibitory effect of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and hydroxyapatite (HA) on the antibacterial activity of white-colored MTA (WMTA) against Staphylococcus (S.) aureus and Streptococcus (S.) mutans after 24 and 72 hours. MATERIALS AND METHODS All materials were prepared according to the manufacturer's directions immediately before testing...

One of the many factors involved in determining the distribution and metabolism of a compound is the strength of its binding to human serum albumin. While experimental and QSAR approaches for determining binding to albumin exist, various factors limit their ability to provide accurate binding affinity for novel compounds. Thus, to complement the existing tools, we have developed a structure-bas...

The changes in the nonlinear refractive of Bradford reagent caused by its binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated in aqueous solutions. The nonlinear refractive index at the wavelength of 514 nm was measured using Z-scan Technique. The presence of BSA shows an increase of the nonlinear refractive index coefficient over Bradford reagent alone. The nonlinear refractive index the B...
