Forty infants, 6 to 36 mo old, with iron-deficiency anemia (hemoglobin < 11 g/dL) were matched and assigned to two groups. One group received FeS0(4) and the other received ferrous bis-glycinate chelate at a dose of 5 mg of Fe daily per kilogram of body weight for 28 d. Both groups had significant hemoglobin increases (P < 0.001), but only the group treated with ferrous bis-glycinate chelate ha...

vitamin d deficiency is common among the elderly with and without heart failure (hf). this study was designed to identify the degree of vitamin d deficiency among hf and non- hf elderly with cardiovascular disease. in this study, fifty hospitalized elderly patients with hf (26 women and 24 men, age range 60-90 years) and fifty elderly without hf were randomly selected. the level of serum 25-hyd...

Hemoglobin digestion is an essential process for blood-feeding parasites. Using chemical tools, we deconvoluted the intracellular hemoglobinolytic cascade in the tick Ixodes ricinus, a vector of Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. In tick gut tissue, a network of peptidases was demonstrated through imaging with specific activity-based probes and activity profiling with peptidic substrates...

We compared the acid-base balance in broiler chickens provided diets containing 2 dietary electrolyte balances (DEB), and administered with either adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) or saline solution. Diets were moderate (174 mEq/kg) or high (241 mEq/kg) DEB formulated by altering Na-K-Cl based on actual analysis. The experiment was designed as a split plot, with the main unit consisting of 4 ...

background : now a days researchers have shown grean interest in electromagnetic waves which spread from devices such az microwaves,satellites,tv,cell phones etc,due to various reports of their devasting effects on animal growth and health.in this study the effects of these radiations on blood cells is investigated . methods : in the present study the effect of radiation on blood parameters in ...

a number of evidences suggest that during ischemic stroke, serum iron and hemoglobin (hb) levels are changed. yet, there are few reports in the literature related to this issue and resolution of this mechanism requires further experiments. the aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of serum iron and hemoglobin levels as a  biomarker in diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke....

The aim of the study was the demonstration and choice of conditions for the determination of cathepsin D activity in human mixed saliva. The 6% solution of hemoglobin, denatured with hydrochloric acid, was used as the substrate. The ratio of saliva volume to hemoglobin was 4:1 w/v. The reaction was interrupted by adding 10% trichloroacetic acid, after 6 hours of incubation at 37 degrees C. The ...

Hydrogen peroxide reacts with ferrous Ascaris hemoglobin and converts it to oxyhemoglobin in a sequence of two reactions. The first is the reaction of ferrous Ascaris hemoglobin with hydrogen peroxide to form a stable product; the second is the reaction of this product with hydrogen peroxide to form oxyhemoglobin. Both reactions follow second order kinetics, since they are first order with resp...

HUMAN HEMOGLOBINS and their variants have been the subjects for fruitful clinical and basic research for many years. The knowledge derived from these studies is essential in understanding the relationship between hemoglobin structures and functions. The report on the seminal study of sickle hemoglobin by Pauling et al1 in 1949 provided the first example of molecular disease. With the advances i...
