Chemical and electrophoretic analyses of the serum proteins have become routine diagnostic investigations in many hospital laboratories. The albumin/globulin ratio decreases in a variety of disease conditions, including liver diseases, the nephrotic syndrome, protein malnutrition, myeloma, etc. It is therefore very important that the normal variations in the albumin-globulin ratio should be wel...

INTRODUCTION The present study investigated the possible therapeutic effects of Annona squamosa (A. squamosa) extract on certain biochemical markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus in rats. METHODS The effects of an aqueous extract of A. squamosa leaves on blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, urea, uric acid and creatinine and the activities of...

In an earlier communication (1) attention was called to the marked depressions of albumin: globulin ratios that frequently occur in the course of louse-borne typhus fever. Serum globulin concentrations in a number of cases were found to be higher than 5 grams per 100 ml. Because of the consistent rise in serum globulins in this disease, possibly a feature of the immune response, it was of inter...

Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) is a with poor prognosis despite advances in diagnosis and treatment methods, postoperative morbidity mortality rates are high. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive early prognostic effect pre-treatment albumin globulin ratio (AGR) patients gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC).
 
 Methods: included male female who were operated on GAC our general...

Methomyl has a significant animal and public health problem. The present study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of nicotinic acid against the acute toxic effects induced by methomyl in albino rats. Four groups were divided into control, nicotinic acid (NA) (100 mg/kg b.wt./twice daily) for 7 successive days, methomyl (MET) (8 mg/kg b.wt.) and nicotinic acid plus methomyl (NA+MET) ...
