What's the difference between albuminoid and scleroprotein?
Albuminoid
Definition:
(a.) Resembling albumin.
(n.) One of a class of organic principles (called also proteids) which form the main part of organized tissues.
Example Sentences:
(1) The albumin binding site more closely resembles vitamin D binding protein than B700, but the data indicate that the binding function of the albuminoid proteins is conserved in B700.
(2) Ultrastructural changes in endocrine cells in obese patients are suggestive of degenerative processes: in D-, D1- and G-cells these are fatty, P- and EC-cells albuminoid.
(3) There was no significant difference in the Ka and Bmax among the albuminoid proteins.
(4) Some normally pass the limulus test undiluted while others, such as immune globulins and albuminoid products, have to be diluted to various concentrations before they pass.
(5) Laser Raman scattering studies on these isolated proteins (both in the lyophilized state and in solution) and insoluble albuminoid reveal that they contain predominantly antiparallel pleated sheet structure in the main chains and that sulfhydryl groups are highly localized in gamma-crystallin.
(6) During the age intercellular substance shows the following changes: albuminoid degeneration, partly loss of intercellular substance with exhibition of well visible collagen fibers, calcification and ossification.
(7) The 2-year-old bovine lens nucleus did contain alpha neoproteins, but only in the albuminoid fraction.
(8) Similar findings of differential fate and distribution have been reported in comparing other albuminoid molecules [Dueland S., Blomhoff R. and Pedersen J. I.
(9) system, but presented different features from those of the Kiil kidney.The incidence of reactions was not related to the albuminoid nitrogen content of the water supply.
(10) The content of alpha neoprotein vs. alpha crystallin was estimated separately on the crystallin, cryoprotein and albuminoid fractions in lenses of animals of different species and ages, in lenses with experimentally induced cataracts and in human cataractous lenses.
(11) Although albuminoid preparations are known not to transmit hepatitis, three immunoglobulin preparations for intravenous administration (IV IgG) have transmitted hepatitis, suggesting that the inclusion of a terminal virucidal step is essential.
(12) 3- to 4-month-old) contained alpha neoprotein molecules mainly in the albuminoid fraction; small amounts were also found in the cryoprotein fraction.
(13) The most frequent type of lesion encountered was albuminoid degeneration and hydropic ballooning of the cytoplasm to the point that the parenchyma assumed a "vegetable" appearance.
Scleroprotein
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) In addition, the total sugars and the soluble non-scleroproteins were found to be increased in varicose samples.
(2) Proportions of elastin and collagen relative to dry weight increased markedly only between 4 and 2 weeks of age and not thereafter despite continuing rapid growth, steadily increasing medial tension, and increasing total scleroprotein content.
(3) The contributions of the relative radius, relative wall thickness, incremental strain, incremental elastic modulus, and medial scleroprotein content to the static elastic properties of the rat aortic wall have been examined in three groups of rats.
(4) It has been shown by X-ray diffraction and chiroptic spectroscopy that the glycosaminoglycans in connective tissue develop a helical structure; this induces the coordination of polycations and scleroproteins in their environment polycations and promotes or inhibites fibrillary aggregation.
(5) The authors examined neosynthesis of fiber proteins (scleroproteins) in the aorta of rats with genetic hypertonia and with experimental atherosclerosis after application of 3H-proline and 3H-lysine and subsequent determination of radioactivity of collagenous and elastic in the aortic wall.
(6) The clinical picture, the outcome of lymphocyte stimulation tests against S antigen (retina soluble antigen), outer rod segment, and scleroprotein, and the successful administration of corticosteroids after a partial spontaneous hearing improvement, are suggestive of an autoimmune disease.
(7) The importance of lipids in collagen formation was corroborated: by accumulation of lipids, which preceded the hydroxyproline increase (scleroproteins, collagen), by development of the proliferative-cellular reaction together with the higher phospholipid-hydroxyproline level as compared with control, by formation of earlier sclerosis of silicotic nodes in "condensed" silicosis with the simultaneous increase in absolute content of phospholipids and total lipids.
(8) Thus, medial cells were capable of adapting their quantitative scleroprotein synthetic response to differences in medial tension throughout growth but established a fixed qualitative response within 2 weeks.
(9) When expressed as absolute rates of protein synthesis, these scleroproteins were maximally expressed in the first 3 postnatal weeks.
(10) Elastin and collagen are the principal scleroproteins of the aortic wall, and they largely determine its physical and mechanical properties.
(11) The intracellular and extracellular phases of this process were similar to those of other scleroprotein-synthesizing cells.
(12) This role of lipids was also supported by the observed correlation between the absolute contents of scleroproteins and lipids within all steps of "quartz" silicosis development.
(13) Identical in size, weight, and composition at birth, the vessels maintained similar lengths and diameters at each age but diverged markedly in weight and scleroprotein content after 1 week.
(14) The cell elements are invariably endowed with a large microbrillary cytoplasmic brush, apparently made up of scleroproteins and showing the usual ultrastructural characteristics associated with low metabolic activity.
(15) medial thickening, scleroprotein increase) which have pathological effects.
(16) The results of this study indicate that, of the three cell types of the glomerulus, the epithelial cells (=podocytes) synthesize the proline-rich scleroproteins of the glomerular basement membrane.
(17) Otherwise the pattern of the enzymatic hydrolysis was investigated by measuring the hydroxyproline content, and so the collagen content using the 7.46 conversion factor from hydroxyproline to the scleroprotein collagen, in the various steps of the hydrolysis itself: the analytical results showed no differences between the freeze-dried collagen and the gelified form; this confirms that the lyophilization process does not alter the polypeptidic composition of the collagen in any way.
(18) The static elastic properties and medial scleroprotein content of the aorta have been examined in spontaneously hypertensive rats (AS strain) aged 6 and 20 weeks (group SH).
(19) An additional mechanism for stimulating scleroprotein deposition is described here.
(20) A direct relationship between aortic medial scleroprotein content and the elastic properties of the wall is demonstrated.
