Stability and reference interval of serum phosphoglucomutase (PGM)
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2012, Vol 35, Issue 4
Abstract
We examined the stability and reference range of serum phosphoglucomutase (PGM) in healthy subjects. Serum obtained from venous blood was stored at -80℃ and 4℃, and the stability of PGM activity was evaluated by measuring the passage time for both samples. PGM activity was stable for 3 days after collection with storage at 4℃. It was stable for a long periods of time with storage at -80℃. PGM activity was measured using serum from 298 healthy adults (110 men and 187 women). There was a significant difference between men and women (p <0.001), and the distribution was log-normal. The reference range was 5.4 - 26.6 U/L in men and 4.8 - 20.3 U/L in women.

Reaction mechanism of a protein error in the presence of in organic salt: proof from an absorption spectrum of color development
Color development by protein error decreases in the presence of in organic salt, and its reaction mechanism is proposed. In this paper, whether or not the absorption spectra of this color reaction indicates the character...
Evaluation of serum B-type natriuremic peptide (BNP) and plasma N-terminal pro-BNP(NT-proBNP) levels with heart failure in children
We have evaluated the NT-proBNP levels in serum and the BNP levels in plasma for heart failure (HF) among neonates and children. Both NT-proBNP and BNP levels for HF patients less than 5 years old were higher (NT-proBNP...
Preperitoneal fat thickness (PFT) of patients undergoing a medical examination assessed by an ultrasonographic method
We investigated whether the accumulation of visceral fat, assessed by a simple but widely used ultrasonographic method, was associated with a metabolic syndrome in patients undergoing a medical examination. The subjects...
Lipophorin: lipid-transfer protein in insect blood
Lipophorin is one of the major lipoproteins in insect blood. It contributes to the transportation of several lipid classes. Its particle weight is about 600 k with two apolipoproteins, apoLp-Ⅰ and -Ⅱ (MW=250 k and 80 k,...
Enhancement of cytokine (IL-2, INF-γ) production in Th1 cells by crude protein extract of Equisetum arvense LINNE
We previously reported that the highest cell proliferation-inhibitory effect of a crude protein extract solution of Equisetum arvense LINNE (crude E. arvense protein) on cultured cells was noted in the group treated with...
