It maintains the oncotic pressure and has antioxidant, buffer, and enzymatic functions in the blood [17]. In addition, HSA can entrap certain drugs and xenobiotics in the intravascular space, thereby affecting the tissue distribution of these compounds and/or their elimination rate [18]. ...
The aim of this work was to study the effect of gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) on copper (Cu) and phosphorus (P) in blood of beef cattle in two ranches (R1 and R2) located in northwestern Argentina. In 2015–2016 (R1) and 2016–2017 (R2), in each ranch, 22 weaned female calves...
Suitable techniques will be clear to the person skilled in the art, and may, for example, generally involve the steps of administering a suitable dose of a polypeptide to a primate; collecting blood samples or other samples from said primate at regular intervals; determining the level or ...
Considering their geographic particularities and their effects on the animals’ blood parameters, the objective was to study the behavior of hematological variables, serum biochemistry, and acute phase proteins in beef calves at weaning age. Jugular blood samples were collected in a single day from ...
Tukey’s test at a 5% significance level was used to compare means. The EPG and OPG transformed results were reported in tables with arithmetic means (±standard deviation). The graphs used raw data with medians (interquartile range). The results of the variables that had normal distributions...
Samples from control subjects including non-pregnant women of reproductive age with blood chemistry results within the reference range were collected during the same period as for pregnant women. This study was conducted according to the guidelines laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki, and all ...
Overnight fasting blood samples of all enrolled subjects were collected for the measurement of glucose, lipid profile, creatinine, renalase, and BDNF concentrations. During the follow-up period after PCI, we collected data on the first episodes of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death from the ...
Acute alcohol consumption can be assessed by measuring ethanol concentration in the blood, but chronic alcohol consumption has to be evaluated by the use of biomarkers with a much longer half-life than ethanol. Standard markers include serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), mean corpuscular volume ...
Significant differences between two groups were tested using the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon's U test (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, red if the first group has higher values, blue if the first group has lower values). HC: healthy controls; QSLE: quiescent SLE; ASLE: active...
