Albumins are soluble monomeric proteins found in the body fluids and tissues of animals and in some plant seeds. Serum albumin functions as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones. Serum albumins are also vital in regulating the colloidal osmotic pressures of blood.
Serum albumin functions as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones, and is vital in regulating the colloidal osmotic pressures of blood. Albumin is also seen to bind to exogenous substances, particularly drugs (e.g., ibuprofen, warfarin), and strongly influence their pharmacokinetics. Oxidative stress leading to changes in the redox state of albumin has widely varied effects on its physiological function.

We previously demonstrated that exposure to febrile-range hyperthermia (FRH) accelerates pathogen clearance and increases survival in murine experimental Klebsiella pneumoniae peritonitis. However, FRH accelerates lethal lung injury in a mouse model of pulmonary oxygen toxicity, suggesting that the lung may

Poly(ether imide) (PEI) membranes of which the surface was modified with carboxylic groups were tested in comparison to pure PEI and poly(ethylene terephtalate) (PET) for their ability to support attachment, growth and function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)
The objective of this study was to screen the prevalence of contagious ecthyma (CE) among the goat population of Assam owing to its high prevalence rate. In this study, a total of 231 serum samples were collected from 12 districts

Previous studies demonstrated the presence of oxytocin (OT) and oxytocin receptors (OTRs) in the heart. The present work provides results supporting a potential role of OT in cardiomyogenesis. Here, we show a maximal OT and OTR protein level in the
