PURPOSE:To obtain a plasma-originated protein having little odor and low content of coloring substance with simple procedure by treating plasma with an acidic or basic substance and removing the denaturated hemoglobin. CONSTITUTION:To remove a discoloration-causing substance from plasma, the plasma is...
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are a treatment used to help heal an injury. These shots, which are based on your own blood, are being used more to treat sports injuries and to help wounds heal after surgery. Some doctors use it as a cosmetic procedure to target signs of aging, s...
Tissue fatty acid (FA) composition is one method used to characterize and infer feeding habits in wild animals. In marine mammals, blubber FA content has been used primarily for this purpose, but the extent to which blubber is representative of dietary FAs and metabolism is still being determine...
Each of these components serves a specific purpose: Red blood cells: Contain hemoglobin and carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells: Disease and infection-fighting cells of the body known as T cells and B cells. Platelets: Cell fragments without a nucleus that help blood clot to ...
In a method of preparing a plasma sample, blood from a donor is placed in the inner of two concentric tubes which are releasably connected together. The outer sample tube is labelled with data relatin
However, in most cases these values are still compared with a simple reference interval and not examined as an explicit function of time to detect trends even when a trend is the purpose of the measurement. How many of us have seen a graph of our cholesterol over time, even those of us...
Blood was collected in heparin-containing hematocrit glass capillaries and immediately centrifuged in a hematocrit centrifuge. The hematocrit value was read, and the bilirubin concentration was determined photometrically in the supernatant plasma. For the purpose of this study, no extra blood was taken,...
purpose: On the assumption that renal tubular cells are more important as the target cells for a natriuretic factor than blood cells, we used a well-characterized cultured renal tubular cell line, Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, to monitor the circulating digitalis-like factor in human ...
purpose of the present work aimed at comparing the plasma proteome profiles of C1 (data never presented before) and C2A (i.e., at baseline), representative of overweight and obese phenotypes (Fig.1C). Demographics and clinical characteristics of the cohorts are detailed in Table1. C1 is ...
The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow timeA. to test the reactions to the transfusion B. for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient's blood C. for the blood to be delivered from the blood bank D. to select a new type of blood ...
