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...

Normal rats subjected to end-to-side portacaval shunt showed decreased survival and weight gain, a progressive fall in serum albumin and reciprocal rise in serum gamma globulin when compared with sham-operated controls for 12 weeks. Antibacterial lipopolysaccharide antibody was detected in significant titre at the sixth and twelfth weeks. It is suggested that the elevated levels of gamma globul...

BACKGROUND To assess the preoperative nutritional status of patients with various disorders and to provide data for pre- and postoperative patient management plans, particularly in the elderly. There is no published information on age-matched and disease-matched preoperative nutritional/immunologic status for orthopedic patients, especially in the elderly, in Jeju. METHODS In total, 331 patie...

Ninety-six patients were observed at intervals for as long as three and one-half years in some cases. In most instances multiple determinations were made during this time using the electrophoretic pattern of the proteins before and after cold ether extraction (McFarlane method), to measure lipid transport. Hyperlipemia usually produced an increased in beta globulin. A varying decrease in albumi...

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...

The article presents the results of dynamics indicators protein, nitrogen and carbohydrate metabolism during castration boars in industrial production against background immunocorrection with thymogen. studies were carried out on 14 (aged 5 months), selected by random sampling from 38 animals compliance principle paired analogues divided into two groups ‒ control experimental ones (n=7 each). A...

Scoping studies were designed whereby double-crested cormorants (Phalacocorax auritus) were dosed with artificially weathered Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil either daily through oil injected feeder fish, or by application of oil directly to feathers every three days. Preening results in oil ingestion, and may be an effective means of orally dosing birds with toxicant to improve our understanding o...

background: paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide, widely used to control weeds in agriculture farms and aquatic plants in surface waters. paraquat can have adverse effects on the health of aquatic organisms. the aim of this study was to detect the alterations in the blood biochemical parameters of common carp exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of commercial formulations of paraquat. ...
