The major storage protein fraction, globulin-1 protein, of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The protein pattern suggested a more complex system for globulin-1 protein than the model of three polypeptides, alpha, beta, and gamma, differing in molecular weight. Isoelectrofocusing analyses of the individual proteins showed that each exhibited cha...

Pistachio is a nut with high consumption that can be affected by aflatoxin contamination. Regarding influence of this fungus on global trade, broad studies in this area seem to be necessary. In this research, pistachio nuts were coated with methyl cellulose at different concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% by immersion method. Samples were stored in an incubator (25°C) for 4 months. Imaging...

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...

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 ...

Under a copper-deficient regimen, pancreatic cells in the adult rat can be found to undergo differentiation into hepatocytes. Pancreatic hepatocytes induced in male and female rats were examined for the expression of the androgen-inducible hepatic protein, alpha 2u-globulin. Alpha 2u-Globulin protein was demonstrable by immunoperoxidase method in all the pancreatic hepatocytes of male rats. Nor...

Edible nuts have an increasing role in human diet. Pistachio is popular but less known kind of edible nut nevertheless it is rich in health benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins. This research focused on the concentration of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and calcium (Ca), all of which play a key role in the healthy human nutrition and lifestyle in the kernels o...

ONSIDERABLE TIME AND EFFORT has been devoted to the problem of fractionating serum protein simply, reliably, and rapidly, and at the same time in conformity with the free electrophoretic separation into albumin and a-, fi-, and 7-globulins. Much progress has been made, but discrepancies remain, especially in connection with aand -gIobulins. A few years ago Wolfson, Cohn, et at. (1) devised a re...

The aim of present study was to enhance topical permeation of clotrimazole gel preparation by using various permeability enhancers such as coconut oil, pistachio oil and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). Clotrimazole gel preparations were prepared and optimized by using three factor, five level central composite design. A second-order polynomial equation was generated in order to estimate the effec...

The findings on electrophoretic analysis of plasma proteins during many weeks of low protein feeding in dogs accord in general with those of chemical analysis as concerns the alterations in plasma albumin and globulin concentrations. Long continued restriction of dietary protein results in decreased albumin levels while plasma globulin concentrations remain essentially normal. The degree of dep...

When 11-day mice are fed with homologous or heterologous antibodies or with heterologous y-globulin, the maximum concentration of these proteins in their sera is reached 2 h later, irrespective of the amount or specificity of the proteins administered, or of the final con­ centration achieved. The relation between y (= relative titre of antibody, or concentration of heterologous y-globulin, att...
