By week 8 the patients with ALL had lower serum total protein, albumin, and transferrin than the children with other types of cancer. We conclude that the low levels of the serum transport proteins indicate catabolic protein status in children with ALL during early weeks of therapy.Key Words:...
Cox proportional hazard regression was used to determine factors affecting renal survival.A total of 99 patients with renal biopsy-confirmed idiopathic iMNs were enrolled. C3 level ≤114 mg/dl predicted patient outcome (p < 0.001) with good predictive power (AUC = 0.736). The ...
Mice fed the 3% protein diet showed protein deficiency symptoms such as weight loss and low level of blood urea nitrogen concentration in their serum. The intestinal microbiota of mice in the 3% and 12% protein diet groups at day 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 were investigated by 16S rRNA gene ...
Objective To study serum levels of placental protein 14 (PP14) in relation to endometrial function in women with a history of habitual abortion. Design Prospective study. Setting Departments I and II of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Central Hospital of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland. Patients ...
These effects of low dietary levels of essential amino acids, however, contrast with the predicted effects from the protein leverage hypothesis, since at low amino acid levels adiposity was decreased. This may be because only individual amino acids were restricted rather than total protein levels. ...
A spot urinary protein was assessed using dipsticks. 5 ml of fasting venous blood sample was taken for assessing biochemical variables. All participants gave informed consent. Serum creatinine was estimated using modified Jaffe's method on a Hitachi 911 auto analyzer. All samples were analyzed in ...
The amount of tetramethylurea and isopropanol soluble protein, total protein, triglycerides and cholesterol was determined in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) showing either pre-β mobility, or combined pre-β and late pre-β (Lpβ) or β-mobility from twenty-two different sera. The ratios ...
2D). Interestingly, GATA2-ERT protein was detected in both the nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions of untreated and vehicle-treated cells (Fig. 2D). The level of nuclear GATA2-ERT in the absence of TAM would be expected to result in low-level tonic activity, at least twofold lower than ...
Protein levels of swiprosin-1 were determined by Western blotting of the VN of mice that underwent with rotary stimulation (a), hypoxia, hypothermia and hyperthermia (b). The MS index (c) and swiprosin-1 level in the VN (d) after intratympanic injection of gentamicin and after undergoing...
Total protein levels of GluA1, ERK1/2, and actin did not differ as a function of drug treatment or genotype in either region (Figure S2–S3). In the NAc, acute SKF-81297 (5 mg/kg) administration increased pGluA1 levels similarly for iMSN-Drd2KO and Drd2loxP/loxP mice compared to...
