Secondarily, to determine if changes in total plasma protein (TPP) correlate with COP in anesthetized patients.
Blood samples were analyzed for hematocrit, lactate, glucose, total plasma protein, serum aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, urea, uric acid, creatinine, serum Cl−, and venous blood gas.
Protein supplementation would help mitigate the effects of infection on total plasma protein and albumin concentrations, especially in the low-input systems typified by the Ethiopian highlands.
The crude protein (CP) levels positively influenced (p < 0.05) reproductive parameters (female relative and absolute fecundity, egg diameter, fasting larvae survival capacity), the somatic indexes (gonadosomatic (GSI), hepatosomatic (HIS), viscerosomatic (VSI)), total plasma protein, albumin and triglycerides.
Plasma concentrations of cortisol and fasting blood sugar level as well as packed cell volume (PCV) and total plasma protein were recorded to monitor the changes of chronic stress in the experimental animals.
A prospective study was designed to evaluate the effects of high volume intake of mother's milk fortified (FMM) with an individualized supplementation of minerals and protein on tolerance, short-term somatic growth, serum concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and total plasma protein in healthy preterm infants below 28 weeks of gestation.
The total plasma proteins adsorbed on to the surface of PIAC-based hydrogels were found to be appreciable as given in Table 1.
Significant differences in packed cell volume (PCV) and total plasma proteins (TPP) values were also observed but only in the Anglo Nubians.
Albumin is a non-glycosylated protein of 66 kDa [25, 26]; its normal plasma concentration is between 35 and 50 g/l constituting up to 60% of total plasma proteins [27].
Total plasma proteins were determined by the Biuret method [44].
Total plasma proteins were quantified by the Biuret method [50].
