  • Title: Specific protein pattern in adult healthy Nigerians.
    Author: Onwuameze IC.
    Journal: Afr J Med Med Sci; 1989 Mar; 18(1):49-53. PubMed ID: 2545085.
    Abstract:
    Serum concentrations of total protein, albumin, total globulins, pre-albumin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, caeruloplasmin, transferrin, immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) and plasma fibrinogen were determined in 120 healthy adult Igbo-Nigerian subjects (60 males and 60 females). There was no sex or age related differences in the concentration of the various specific proteins, although a significant sex difference was observed in the mean level of plasma fibrinogen. Our values for caeruloplasmin, transferrin and IgM were significantly higher, although IgG, IgA and plasma fibrinogen were lower than reported in previous studies on other ethnic groups of Nigerians.
