In this study, the effects of dietary chicken egg lecithin on some blood biochemical factors of Mesopotamichthys sharpeyi juveniles and resistance to thermal shock was investigated. Juveniles with initial average weight of 3.10±0.17 were stocked in 12 fiberglass tanks. Four isolipidic and isonitrogenic diets containing 0% (control), 2%, 4% and 6% chicken egg lecithin were used to feed the fish ...

The transition from animal- to plant-derived dietary proteins is of global importance. Plant are normally processed into extracts, and due the type process, globulin class mainly extracted. Such extractions have several waste streams, containing another protein class: albumins. Here, we show that plant albumins good functionality. We compared interfacial foaming properties globulins mung bean, ...

The findings on electrophoretic analysis of plasma proteins during many weeks of low protein feeding in dogs accord in general with those of chemical analysis as concerns the alterations in plasma albumin and globulin concentrations. Long continued restriction of dietary protein results in decreased albumin levels while plasma globulin concentrations remain essentially normal. The degree of dep...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the serum protein electrophoresis pattern in dogs infected with B. canis, and correlation between haematocrit and albumin/globulin ratio. The infection with B. canis was confirmed by PCR and sequencing of PCR products. Total serum protein concentrations were determined by a clinical chemistry analyser. Albumin, α1-, α2-, β1-, β2-, and γ-globulin con...

The serum proteinograms of 10 female Holstein calves fed milk either through conventional (COV) or step-down (STP) milk feeding methods at different ages were evaluated. Calves fed using the COV method were fed colostrum during the first 24 hours that they stayed with their respective mothers and received transition milk for another 2 days and later, and then milk at four liters/day for 59 days...

OBJECTIVE Purpose was to determine the effects of grazing system and floor type on concentrations of blood metabolites, activity of creatine kinase, body weight and carcass characteristics of castrated Nguni goats. METHODS Forty eight, 7 month old goats were randomly allocated to herding and tethering treatments from 0800 to 1300 hours and accommodated on slatted and earth floors daily. Blood...

Serum electrophoresis was done in 31 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 62 age and sex matched controls. Protein values amongst controls were higher than those described by others. In tuberculosis there was significant decrease in total proteins, and albumin with corresponding increase in globulin, mainly due to an increase in gamma globulin fraction. There was no significant increase in ...

Various technics for concentrating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) prior to electrophoretic separation of the protein fractions were tested. Vacuum ultrafiltration through a collodion sac proved to be the most reliable and convenient method. The proteins in the concentrate were separated by cellulose acetate electrophoresis and quantitated densitometrically. The mean values for the various protein fr...

Electrophoresis of urine to evaluate different urinary proteins has been used in recent years veterinary medicine, as it can be a useful laboratory tool the early detection kidney damage. However, capillary electrophoresis (UCE) not reported healthy cats. In dogs, reference intervals have established and compared with pathological samples these provide an easily interpretable pattern. The elect...

The fractional rates of catabolism of isotopically labeled mouse, human, bovine, and guinea pig gamma-globulins and human serum albumin were determined in mice and in guinea pigs whose serum gamma-globulin and serum albumin levels were elevated by immunization or by injections of exogenous serum proteins. These serum proteins were also followed in mice with different serum gamma-globulin levels...
