Serum protein profile in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Abstract EN

Total serum protein, albumin, globulins concentrations, and albumin / globulins (A / G) ratio in the sera of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were assayed to investigate the expectant changes in protein profile. Fifty five patients with AMI were subjected to present study, as well as fifty four healthy individuals as a control.

Total serum protein and serum albumin were determined colormetrically, serum globulins were calculated mathematically Total serum protein was found to decrease in the sera of patients when compared with healthy controls due to decrease in albumin.

Globulins were elevated but not sufficient to substitute the depletion in albumin.

Also A/G ratio decreased more than that of healthy controls. In conclusion serum protein might be changed as a response to the presence of oxidative stress associated with AMI.
