using uv-vis spectrophotometric method the interaction of water soluble phthalocyanine, cobalt(ιι) 4,4′,4′′,4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine(cotspc), with bovine serum albumin (bsa) to determine the formation constant and related thermodynamic functions. the measurements were considered in 1mm sodium phosphate buffer, ph 7.0 and at 5 different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40ºc. the results sho...

We have investigated the nongenomic as well as the genomic effects of glucocorticoids on phosphate (Pi) uptake in primary rabbit renal proximal tubule cells (PTCs) and have defined the involved signaling pathways. In the present study, cortisol-BSA (cortisol-BSA) (>10(-9) M, 30 min) was found to inhibit Pi uptake in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. However, progesterone-BSA (P(4)-BSA...

In vitro culture for bovine embryos is largely not optimal. Our study was to determine the components necessary for early embryo development. In experiment 1, IVF embryos were cultured for two days in CR1aa medium containing sodium citrate and BSA from two sources (Sigma vs. ICPbio), subsequently for additional five days with cumulus monolayer in 10% FBS CR1aa. We found that supplementation wit...

BACKGROUND Physiological functions are often assessed by standardizing for body surface area (BSA) to avoid excessive variation in calculations in pediatric practice. AIM To explore the suitability of existing formulae for estimating the BSA of Nigerian children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study involved healthy children in a Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. The BSA...

Dietary flavonoids show beneficial effects in the prevention of chronic diseases. However, flavonoid bioavailability is poor, probably due to their interaction with serum albumins. In the current work, the binding interactions of eight related flavonoids, sharing a similar core structure, with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding affinities of t...

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to produce a polyclonal antibody against bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugated with artemisinin. To gain an immunogenic character of artemisinin, a carboxyl group was added to it using mixed anhydride method. Then, the reactive compound of artemisinin was conjugated with BSA. The BSA+artemisinin were injected to white female New Zealand rabbits for two...

This paper introduces a new variant of the Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm (BSA) in order to improve the quality of the solutions found by the algorithm. The proposed algorithm is called Idol-Guided Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm (IG-BSA): it uses the historical population defined in BSA to build and update a set of idols taken from several previous generations, and the c...

Background Cardiac dimensions and volumes are widely used throughout cardiac imaging. Body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA) can both be used but BSA is most validated. There are many formulae for calculating BSA but the Mosteller calculation is the easiest, can be performed on a basic calculator and has gained in popularity. BSA = ((height cm*weight kg)<-2>/3600)). Many centers use ...

The present study investigates a simple and convenient one-step procedure for the preparation of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-Rh2 nanoparticles (NPs) at room temperature. In this work, ginsenoside Rh2 was entrapped within the BSA protein to form BSA-Rh2 NPs to enhance the aqueous solubility, stability, and therapeutic efficacy of Rh2. The physiochemical characterization by high-performance liquid...
