Kenaf seed meal protein concentrate (KSPC) and lyophilized kenaf milky extract (KSMEPC) were obtained via alkaline extraction. The proximate compositions, amino acids functional properties of both concentrates compared. KSPC was found to be significantly higher in protein, essential non-essential but, lower lipid carbohydrate contents than KSMEPC. solubility, water absorption capacity denaturat...

Dyslipoproteinemia involving low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) is linked to venous thrombosis in young male adults and to recurrence of venous thrombosis in patients who have experienced a previous unprovoked venous thrombosis episode. Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) modulates HDL metabolism and some lipoproteins can affect blood coagulation reactions with either pro...

In clinical liver transplantation, a venous bypass that rechannels the blood flow from the inferior vena cava and portal vein to the superior vena cava has been used to maintain the venous return. However, the usage of mechanical shunt has given rise to derangements of blood coagulability and fibrinolysis. Therefore, changes of coagulability and fibrinolysis during the venous bypass were examin...

Orthostatic stress activates the coagulation system. The extent of coagulation activation with full orthostatic load leading to presyncope is unknown. We examined in 7 healthy males whether presyncope, using a combination of head up tilt (HUT) and lower body negative pressure (LBNP), leads to coagulation changes as well as in the return to baseline during recovery. Coagulation responses (whole ...

The occasional occurrence of thrombosis after operation has stimulated many attempts to demonstrate an increased coagulability of the blood in the post-operative period. Most of these attempts gave negative or equivocal results, probably because the methods employed were not sensitive enough to record the changes occurring in the complex process of blood coagulation. Nevertheless several invest...

A high incidence of acute diffuse glomerulitis was produced in unilaterally nephrectomized rabbits by injection with two successive doses of purified bovine serum gamma globulin (fraction II). This experimental nephritis is morphologically analogous to human acute and subacute diffuse glomerulonephritis. The technique described is advanced as a valuable experimental method in the study of the p...

clot, a certain degree of alkalinity is commonly acknowledged to be necessary. The supposed lessening of this alkalinity in scurvy, and the acute infectious diseases, is believed to be the cause of the decreased coagulability of the blood in these conditions. Also, it is essential for calcium to form a compound with nuclein, to make its union with fibrinogen possible. But, nuclein acts only as ...

The relationship between blood pH and blood coagulability and alternations in the fibrinolytic system was studied using blood samples obtained from the umbilical artery of 178 cases. Further studies were performed on this relationship in 5 cases of intracranial hemorrhage detected by ultrasonography, and the following results were obtained: 1. A definitely significant correlation was noted betw...
