The difference in serum proteomes in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Background: Purpose of study is revealing significant differences in serum proteomes in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BD).

Results: Quantitative mass-spectrometry based proteomic analysis was used to quantify proteins in the blood serum samples after the depletion of six major blood proteins. Comparison of proteome profiles of different groups revealed 27 proteins being specific for schizophrenia, and 18 - for BD.

[Islet function of the pancreas following irradiation].

Function of islets of Langerhans of Wistar male rats was studied after irradiation of animals with different doses. The pancreas function was determined with regard to the incorporation of 65Zn into the gland tissues. Total-body irradiation (60Co) with the dose of 4.
