Albumin is a globular protein. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is composed of a single polypeptide chain and cross-linked cysteine disulfide bridges. BSA is heart-shaped and is made up of three homologous domains I-III and each domain has two subdomains A and B.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Albumin acts as a major factor in determining a cow′s health, meat, and milk quality. Serum albumin constitutes about 52-62% of the total water-soluble fraction proteins in the blood plasma. Albumin is a multifunctional protein that plays a role in physiological and pharmacological aspects. It is involved in the transport of fatty acids, bile pigments, cholesterol, drugs, and metals. This protein regulates osmotic pressure and distributes fluids between various compartments.

Drug bioavailability is a key consideration for drug delivery systems. When loaded with doxorubicin, liposomes containing 5 molar % porphyrin-phospholipid (HPPH liposomes) exhibited in vitro and in vivo serum stability that could be fine-tuned by varying the drug-to-lipid ratio. A

Raw menhaden fish oil was developed for biomonitoring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using fluorescence spectroscopy. Menhaden (Genus Brevoortia) were collected in 2010 and/or 2011 from Delaware Bay, New Jersey, USA; James River, Virginia, USA; Vermillion Bay, Louisiana, USA (VBLA); and
Morphology and physiology of fish embryos undergo dramatic changes during their development until the onset of feeding, supplied only by endogenous yolk reserves. For obtaining an insight how these restructuring processes are reflected by body mass related parameters, dry weights
