For many years it has been realized that ser globulin is not a single homogeneous protein, comprises a variety of proteins which have 4 ferent physical, chemical, and physiological p perties. The salt fractionation methods that h been 'used for many years do not yield fracti which are sharply distinguished one from anot in any properties. A striking example is that the fractionation of diphther...

Of the 85 female marathon runners examined in this study, 14 (16%) had serum ferritin levels below 40 ng/ml but only two (2%) had iron deficiency anaemia (haemoglobin below 12 g/dl); 28 (33%) had serum folate levels below 4.8 ng/ml and of these two (2%) had haemoglobin levels below 12 g/dl and 13 (15%) had mean corpuscular volumes greater than 95 fl. One week after treatment with oral folate (5...

An unusual isozyme of lactate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase associated with Kirsten murine sarcoma virus (LDHk) was found in the sera of many patients with malignant tumors, while the sera of healthy persons had little or no such activity. This isozyme was detectable only when assayed in a nitrogen atmosphere, and its activity showed little or no relationship to the total lactate dehydro...

sleep deprivation has negative effects on performance and resulted in elevating of mortality risk, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 30 hour sleep deprivation on serum levels of c-reactive protein, blood lactate, muscular strength and physiological factors of rast test in active students. the present study was a semi-experimental on...

Aims: The aim of this study examined the acute effects of exhaustive incremental exercise on serum leptin, glucose and lactate in one session in trained men 18-26 years old. Materials and Methods: Thirty students who had 18-26 years old, body fat between 15-25 percent and VO2max between 35-45 ml/kg/min, simple randomly selected through 200 physical education students and they were divided into...

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is commonly used in human cancer patients for prognostic purposes. Aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of serum LDH elevation in dogs with cancer compared with healthy dogs and dogs with non-neoplastic disease, and to verify whether it may support the diagnosis of specific malignancies. About 128 healthy dogs, 211 diseased dogs and 188 cancer dogs were e...

BACKGROUND A change of serum lactate concentrations appeared to be useful for predicting outcomes in various acute ill settings. However, there is little information on intraoperative change of lactate level in pediatric cardiac surgery patients. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational study of 459 children who received pediatric cardiac surgery to determine the association between...
