in this study the effects of water salinity on serum total protein and its components in grass carp were investigated. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of salinity tolerance of fish on total serum protein level and its components as an indicator of liver and kidney activity. one hundred and twenty grass carp were divided into four groups, randomly. the first three groups were r...

protein status of 194 pregnant women and their newborn at a public and a private maternity hospital in tehran was studied. blood samples were taken from all women before delivery and from cords at delivery of the placenta. the following determinations were made: total serum protein, protein fractions, creatinine and urea. in the private group, significantly higher maternal mean values were foun...

1. Gel filtration of the water-soluble radioactive mucus produced three radioactive fractions, fraction A excluded on Sepharose 4B, fraction B included on Sepharose 4B but excluded on Sephadex G-200, and fraction C included on Sephadex G-200. 2. The specific radioactivities of fractions A and B were the same, with fraction C a little lower, whether the material was labelled with (14)C-labelled ...

background and objective: chlorella vulgaris is a multi-cellular edible algal species with abundant proteins. extraction of high value protein fractions for pharmaceutical and nutritional applications can significantly increase the commercial value of microalga biomasses. there is no known report on the anticancer peptides derived from the chlorella vulgaris abundant protein. materials and meth...

Based on the ability of microalgae to purify industrial processing waters, overall aim this study was evaluate whether currently wasted shrimp waters could be used as microalgal growth media produce new protein-enriched food and feed ingredients. Low molecular weight (LMW) fractions boiling water (SBW) which had been pre-flocculated using alginate (AL), carrageenan (CA), chitosan (CH) or Superf...

objective: martynia annua l. (m. annua), (martyniaccae) has been traditionally used in the treatment of epilepsy, sore throat and inflammatory disorders. the leaf paste is used topically on tuberculosis of the lymphatic glands and wounds of domestic animals. tephrosia purpurea (t. purpurea), (fabaceae) has been used traditionally as a remedy for asthma, gonorrhea, rheumatism and ulcers. this st...

Nascent high density lipoprotein (HDL) (1.063 less than d less than 1.21 g/ml) was isolated from recirculating rat liver perfusates and separated by heparin-Sepharose chromatography into a nonretained fraction (NR) and a fraction (R) that eluted with 0.5 M NaCl. Fractions NR and R contained 70% and 30% of the nascent HDL protein, respectively. ApoB-containing particles were removed from fractio...

The effects of chronic ethanol feeding on the amounts and synthesis rates of cytoplasmic, contractile, and stromal protein fractions were investigated in the small intestine of eight pairs of immature and seven pairs of mature rats. Treated rats were fed ethanol as 36% of total energy in a nutritionally adequate liquid diet. Paired controls were fed isovolumetric amounts of the same diet in whi...

This study investigated the nutritional quality of soybean meal (SBM) fermented by Aspergillus (FSBMA) and/or followed by Lactobacillus fermentation (FSBMA+L). Both fermented products significantly improved protein utilization of SBM with higher trichloroacetic acid (TCA) soluble true protein content, in vitro protein digestibility and available lysine content, especially in FSBMA+L. Moreover, ...
