Association of serum prealbumin and its changes over time with clinical outcomes and survival in patients receiving hemodialysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), a low serum prealbumin is an indicator of protein-energy wasting. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that baseline serum prealbumin correlates independently with health-related quality of life ...

Identification of the PR Prealbumin Proteins in Horse Serum [PDF]
The Pr protein, which is one of the major equine acidic prealbumins and which consists of a large number of phenotypes, has been studied with regard to its chemical identity. Serum samples of known Pr phenotype which had been treated with varying amounts of bovine trypsin were subjected to starch gel electrophoresis at pH 4.8.

Improving nutritional assessment in pediatric anorexia nervosa: Clinical value of key serum biomarkers. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Reliable biochemical markers of starvation are needed to improve detection and monitoring of starvation in pediatric anorexia nervosa (AN), thus we explored new and revisited old potential serum biochemical markers. Methods In this prospective cohort study we included 65 pediatric patients with AN.
