Human serum albumin

Summary Human Serum albumin (HSA) is a plasma protein in charge of the transportation of the fatty acids (Bhattacharya, Grune & Curry, 2000, p.721). HSA promotes the transportation capacity of plasma because it is currently at around 0.6Mm enabling it to carry more than six molecules of fatty acid. In addition, the HSA binds and agitates the pharmacokinetics of various drugs compounds. The HSA-fatty acid has two drug-binding sites, which are the sub-domains IIA and IIIA. The fatty acid IIIA coincides with the high affinity of the long-chain fatty acid binding site. One of the features of the HSA is that it is capable of binding a variety of drugs. Most of the clinical and pharmaceutical interest in the protein is derived from the impacts…

Introduction Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a transport protein in cow’s blood stream, similar to Human serum albumin in human blood. It binds different types of drugs for delivery to various parts of the body. One of these drugs is warfarin, a blood anticoagulant. This research project’s focus was on the interaction between BSA and warfarin derivatives; our assumption was that the protein binding site has different affinities for different warfarin derivatives; this was to be determined by…

samples were randomly collected 0, 3rd and 6th days after drought stress (DAS) with five biological replicates for each treatment group. Plant height (cm) was measured from the base of the plants to the tip of longest leaf. Root and shoot fresh weight (g) and lengths (cm) were measured from respective plants on each day of sampling. For dry weights of roots and shoots, the samples were dried at 72 ºC for 72 h. Samples for RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and qRT-PCR were immediately frozen at −80…

In section I (General Assessment) I found that the clothing aspect was not mentioned however we might assume that since the sheets were dirty and the patient was soiled on each visit, then this could be rated as having poor hygiene. His nutrition status was somewhat difficult to determine as a weight was not provided due to the patient not being able to get on a scale. However, his blood work was taken on the prior visit and his albumin level was 2.8 on a scale of 3.4-5.4 g/dL and his pre…

H‘s short and long term goals are the following: Patient will consume adequate nourishment Patient will have stable lab values (prealbumin & albumin). Patient will gain weight (Ackley & Ladwig, 2013, p. 559). Mr. J’s patient short and long term goals are the following: Patient will demonstrate improved ventilation and adequate oxygenation as evidenced by blood gas levels within normal parameters. Patient will maintain clear lung fields and remain free of signs of respiratory distress Patient…

THIS VEIN IS USED The animal is put into a crush. Raise the tail vertically with one hand until it is horizontal with the ground and wipe the underside of the tail to remove any manure present. The tail is then held in one hand such that the ventral surface is accessible. The ventral surface of the tail is cleaned with a swab to remove faecal material. A needle is then inserted perpendicular to the skin surface on the midline between (approximately) the third and fourth coccygeal vertebrae,…

However, most people do not know the true depth of Balto’s story, which rightfully includes a number of other teams that also helped in this grand adventure. In December of 1924, the first case of diphtheria appeared in a two year old Inuit boy, but it was misdiagnosed as tonsillitis because of the lack of family history, or anyone in the area that might be experiencing the same symptoms. The boy died a few days later, and the mother refused an autopsy. A few days later, more and more cases…

On the first Saturday of March, the people in Anchorage, Alaska are preparing to cover 1,000 miles in the Alaskan wilderness (Brown 12; Burgman 7). These people are competing in the Iditarod, a dog race from Anchorage to Nome held every year, hoping to earn a $50,000 cash prize and a four-wheel drive truck (Brown 62). The name Iditarod comes from the name of an abandoned mining town located halfway between the start and end of the race (Doyle 14). The Iditarod race is an Alaskan tradition that…

cross-links formed by the tissue fixative (17) or the compounds that are used within the experimental protocol. Naturally occurring auto-fluorescence is caused by specific cell types. During my study I encountered severe auto-fluorescence within all tissue samples, I recognised the auto-fluorescence by its appearance in both microscopy filter cubes. This caused the focus of the project to shift to try to correct this issue before returning to the original aims. The levels of auto-fluorescence…
