Animal blood is the most important biological fluid for monitoring their health, feeding, maintenance and treatment. A lot of data has been accumulated on the blood biochemistry of both humans and some animals (mainly dogs and cats). However, there is no comprehensive monograph that systematically describes data on the blood biochemistry of pigs of different breeds and their commercial hybrids.
The monograph is compiled on the basis of modern data and research methods using numerous material of various scientists (especially working in the Federal Research Center for Animal Husbandry named after Academy Member L.K. Ernst), and can be recommended to researchers at academic institutions, graduate and senior students of universities, as well as specialists in the field of biology (primarily biochemistry) of animals, scientific-&-technical personnel of production facilities, farms and companies working in the field of livestock farming.
The use of glycated haemoglobin was a major step in antidiabetic treatment and led to the identification of cell receptors. The aim of this study is to explore how one such cell receptor, RAGE, offers new therapeutic possibilities for diabetes, ageing, and Alzheimer’s disease.
