In nephrosclerosis (Volhard and Fahr classification of nephritis) there was no decrease in the plasma proteins. With heart failure the ratio of albumin to globulin fell from the normal 1.7 +/- 0.3 to about 1. There is a sharp difference between the two types of glomerulonephritis in the effect on plasma proteins. In the vascular-interstitial type the effect was the same as in nephrosclerosis. T...

Although the determination of the albumin and globulin contents of human serum by neutral salt fractionation, as in Howe’s method (I), has proved useful because of its simplicity, such methods have definite limitations. Butler (2) has shown that the albumin-globulin separation by neutral salt precipitation is not’ sharp and that these fractions overlap one another grossly. Leutscher (3) has als...

Serum protein concentrations provide insight into the nutritional and immune status of organisms. It has been suggested that some marine turtles are capital breeders that fast during the nesting season. In this study, we documented serum proteins in neophyte and remigrant nesting leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea). This allowed us to establish trends across the nesting season to det...

Tetsuro Nishida Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, Shinshu University (Prof.: Tadamasa Tozuka) In 60 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis treated with artificial pneumoperitoneum or with combination of pneumoperitoneum and chemotherapy, the relation between plasma protein fractions and clinical pictures was investigated, and following results were obtained. 1) In the plasma protein...

It is necessary to assess the state of nitrogen metabolism deepen control over usefulness feeding cattle and ensure prompt response nutritional imbalances diet adjustments. Nitrogen balance a key indicator metabolism. The authors presented results determining content variability indicators in Holstein Western Siberia. object study was bulls breed, obtained from four sires conditions industrial ...

On hyperimmunization of rabbits with pneumococcal vaccine, increase in the content of gamma globulin and fall of albumin in the serum are produced. In such hyperimmunized rabbits, investigations of the plasma volume, albumin degradation, and the distribution of the albumin intra- and extravascularly were undertaken by Sterling's method employing rabbit albumin labelled with I(131). The investig...

1. Highly purified rabbit Type III pneumococcus anticarbohydrate proved to be homogeneous in the ultracentrifuge and its sedimentation constant, 7.0.10(-13), did not differ from that of the principal component of normal rabbit globulin or of immune rabbit globulin containing up to 50 per cent of anti-egg albumin. The molecular weight of antibody in the rabbit is therefore probably very close to...

An experiment was conducted on eight weak and anaemic goats revealed pale conjunctivae, increased heart rate, rough hair coat, dullness and depression. The haematology showed significantly decreased haemoglobin (7.37±0.16 g %), packed cell volume (PCV)(23.37±0.56%),total erythrocyte count (TEC)(8.12±0.18 million/cumm), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) (9.10±0.30 pg) and mean corpuscular volum...

Rats bearing Morris liepatoma 7800 and Morris hepatoma 7777 have serum protein compositions which differ from normal rats. There is a slight decrease of albumin and an increase in a-globulin proteins in the circulating blood of the tumor-bearing animals. The increase in a-globulin is larger than would be expected if globulin would just compensate for the slight decrease in albumin, resulting in...
