Appearance of C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum and liver cytosol of cadmium-treated rats.

Abstract:

:The possibility of stimulation of C-reactive protein (CRP) due to inflammation and necrosis caused by cadmium was investigated. Cadmium injection (less than 3 mg/kg body weight) in white rat was found to be associated with the appearance of CRP in liver cytosol after 8 hr and in serum after 18 hr of injection. Although, no definite dose-response relationship was found, yet CRP level was elevated drastically, varying from 1-4 mg/g wet weight liver and 0.3-0.7 mg/ml serum. CRP-positive serum from Cd-treated rats precipitated with normal rat serum on agarose-covered slides in the presence of 1 mM CaCl2. Evidences for raised level of CRP indicates acute tissue damage in the animal.

  • Dietary requirement of tryptophan for growth and survival of the Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton-Buchanan) fry.

    abstract::The experimental diets (40% protein) contained graded levels of tryptophan (0.60, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75%) of dietary protein. Each test diet was fed to triplicate groups of mrigal fry twice daily at 10% of the total biomass for 8 weeks. The dietary tryptophan requirement was estimated by plotting weight gain ag...
