ABSTRACT It has been shown by preparative electrophoresis that in the pregnancy serum HCG is transported in the beta globulin fraction. The linkage is believed to be adsorptive in nature.



Results of the Ayrshire breed cows, Holstein cows and Holstein-Yaroslavl cross breed cows milk productiv-ity analysis in the same environment conditions and depending on the kappa-casein and beta-lactoglobulin genotypes are presented in this article. The animals are kept in the common environmental conditions of the LLC Farming firm “Pakhma», the Ayrshire breeding plant. Feeding of cows here is carried out according to detailed norms, concentrated feed averages 43%. The maintenance system is year-round stalling, milking is carried out in the milk line, the DeLaval milking machine is used, and labor-intensive processes in animal husbandry are mechanized. The farm has a milk processing shop. It was established that all the inspected cows (n=91) had a prevailing AA kappa-casein genotype – 75,8% on average. BB Ayrshire breed and Hol-stein-Yaroslavl cross breed genotypes were not established. AB and BB beta-lactoglobulin genotypes are seen on average with a frequency of 44%. AA beta-lactoglobulin genotype in Holstein cows breed was not found. The indicators of statistically reliable difference in milkability among all groups and genotypes was not estab-lished. A higher consistence of protein in the milk of B-allele kappa-casein type cows is evident in all groups with no difference between breed belonging. The complex variant of CSN3/LGB genotypes showed that ac-cording to ultimate milk fat and protein yield the most productive cows were:АВ/ВВ, АВ/АВ genotype Ayr-shire cows, АВ/АВ Holstein genotype cows, AB/BB genotype Holstein-Yaroslavl cross breed cows. Hence, the most efficient cows are those with B-allele variants.

Electrophoretic analyses of blood plasma or serum of 30 children in apparent health between the ages of two and 11 years revealed that the relative concentration of the various components was in close agreement with adult values, although the individual variation was several times greater. For 27 children in apparent health, but who had experienced various types of infection during a one to four month interval prior to the time the specimen was taken, elevation of the gamma component occurred in about 40% of the determinations. Illness within the month produced the greatest number of abnormalities, although abnormalities were noted in specimens of children who had been free of infection two to three months. A few abnormalities were noted in all components except beta globulin. At younger ages (two to four years) children showed a slightly higher albumen level and a slightly lower gamma globulin level. Normal children susceptible to rheumatic fever on a genetic basis exhibited no specific differences in the electrophoretic pattern.

Abstract Serum and plasma from anemic rabbits were found to contain a factor capable of inducing a reticulocytosis when injected into normal animals. This erythropoietic factor seems to be attached to, or to behave like, a serum albumin, alpha globulin or beta globulin. The production of the erythropoietic factor was found to be normal in rabbits in which the lymphatic and the hematopoietic tissues had been damaged through the administration of nitrogens mustard.

Abstract Study of 313 plasma electrophoretic patterns from 158 hospitalized subjects revealed that 30 per cent of these patients exhibited a heterogeneity marked by occurrence of double peaks in the alpha-2 and 6 per cent in the beta globulin fraction. Occurrence of double peaks could not be related to any specific disease. Similar study of plasma from 18 normal adult subjects did not reveal double peaks in any of the protein fractions. Existence of prealbumin components, with mobilities greater than that of the albumin, has been observed in 6 of 158 pathological subjects. Mobilities and concentrations of components x1, x2, and x3 are reported.

Abstract Human plasminogen and plasmin preparations have been analyzed and compared for their antigenic properties. For the evaluation of such preparations, antisera to Kline plasminogen, prepared in rabbits, were used. Kline plasminogen revealed the presence of three distinct components. One of these was identical to gamma globulin of serum by both chemical and immunological criteria while the other two were in the beta-globulin mobility category. One of these latter could be identified with the proenzyme, plasminogen, itself; the other remained an unidentified component which could not be related to the proenzyme. Plasmin showed a similar pattern except for the absence of the gamma-globulin constituent. The two components of plasmin were antigenically identical to the corresponding components of plasminogen.

Chromium (Cr) has been studied since the end of the 19<sup>th</sup> century, when carcinogenic effects of hexavalent Cr were discovered. Essentiality of trivalent Cr was demonstrated in 1959; Cr<sup>3+</sup> has been studied in humans and laboratory animals since the 1970s and it is only since the 1990s that Cr has been studied as an essential element in livestock animals with the same intensity. Trivalent chromium is essential to normal carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. Chromium is biologically active as part of an oligopeptide &minus; chromodulin &minus; potentiating the effect of insulin by facilitating insulin binding to receptors at the cell surface. With chromium acting as a cofactor of insulin, Cr activity in the organism is parallel to insulin functions. Cr absorption is low, ranging between 0.4 and 2.0% for inorganic compounds while the availability of organic Cr is more than 10 times higher. Absorbed Cr circulates in blood bound to the &beta;-globulin plasma fraction and is transported to tissues bound to transferrin. Absorbed Cr is excreted primarily in urine, by glomerular filtration; a small amount is excreted through perspiration, bile and in milk. The demand for Cr has been growing as a result of factors commonly referred to as stressors, especially during different forms of nutritional, metabolic and physical strain. This review describes Cr metabolism, the different biological functions of Cr and symptoms of Cr deficiency.
