Abstract
This study presents the performance of two fast Monte Carlo codes, PENELOPE/penEasyIR and MCGPU-IR in order to assess operator doses in interventional radiology. In particular, it aims to validate the calculations when workers are protected with shielding located between the patient and the operator. The experiments are performed in a calibration laboratory and measurements are gathered using Thermo EPD and Mirion DMC personal active dosemeters. Calculation efficiency of the fast Monte Carlo codes is approximately four orders of magnitude greater than for a standard Monte Carlo code. Satisfactory agreement between measurements and calculations is shown.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the occupational radiation dose in interventional cardiology by using a shielding drape on the patient. A random study with and without the protective material was conducted. The following control parameters were registered: demographic data, number of stents, contrast media volume, fluoroscopy time, number of cine images, kerma-area product and cumulative air kerma. Occupational dose data were obtained by electronic active dosemeters. No statistically significant differences in the analysed control parameters were registered. The median dose value received by the interventional cardiologist was 50% lower in the group with a shielding drape with a statistically significant p-value <0.001. In addition, the median value of the maximum scatter radiation dose was 31% lower in this group with a statistically significant p-value <0.001. This study showed that a shielding drape is a useful tool for reducing the occupational radiation dose in a cardiac catheterisation laboratory.

Abstract
New European regulation regarding radiological protection of workers and more specifically the new occupational dose limit for the eye lens recently reduced to 20 mSv yr(-1) may affect interventional cardiologists. This paper presents a set of measurements of occupational doses performed in five interventional cardiology centres and then compared with the new dose limit. The measurement of occupational doses was performed over the apron at chest level using electronic dosemeters recording H p(10). In one of the centres, scatter dose at goggles was also measured with optically stimulated luminescence dosemeters calibrated in terms of H p(0.07). An average H p(10) over the apron of 46 μSv/procedure was measured for cardiologists. Lower doses were noted in other professionals like second cardiologists, nurses or anaesthetists. Procedures for valvular and other structural heart diseases involved the highest occupational doses, averaging over 100 μSv/procedure. Important differences in occupational doses among centres may be indicative of different radiation protection habits. The new occupational dose limit for the eye lens is likely to be exceeded by those among the interventionalists who do not use protection tools (ceiling suspended screen and/or goggles) even with standard workloads.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Eye lenses are among the most sensitive organs to x-ray radiation and may be considered at risk during neurointerventional radiology procedures. The threshold dose to produce eye lens opacities has been recently reduced to 500 mGy by the International Commission on Radiologic Protection. In this article, the authors investigated the radiation doses delivered to patients' eyes during interventional neuroradiology procedures at a university hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS Small optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters were located over patients' eyes during 5 diagnostic and 31 therapeutic procedures performed in a biplane x-ray system. Phantom measurements were also made to determine the level of radiation to the eye during imaging runs with conebeam CT. RESULTS The left eye (located toward the lateral C-arm x-ray source) received a 4.5 times greater dose than the right one. The average dose during embolization in the left eye was 300 mGy, with a maximum of 2000 mGy in a single procedure. The patient who received this maximum eye dose needed 6 embolization procedures to treat his high-volume AVM. If one took into account those 6 embolizations, the eye dose could be 2-fold. Sixteen percent of the embolizations resulted in eye doses of >500 mGy. CONCLUSIONS A relevant fraction of patients received eye doses exceeding the threshold of 500 mGy. A careful optimization of the procedures and follow-up of these patients to evaluate potential lens opacities should be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE Aged male rats show a decrease in liver PPARalpha. We aimed to determine if the sexual dimorphism in lipid metabolism observed in the PPARalpha-/- mouse is also present in senescent rats. RESULTS Eighteen-month old rats were obese and presented high plasma NEFA concentrations. Old male rats were more hypercholesterolemic and hyperleptinemic than females, presenting a higher content in hepatic triglycerides and cholesteryl esters, while 18-month old females were more hypertriglyceridemic than males. Although PPARalpha expression and binding activity was reduced in liver from old male and female rats, the mRNA for a PPARalpha target gene, such as CPT-I, was reduced in old males (-56%), while increased by 286% in old females. LXRalpha protein was increased, and its binding activity was decreased in livers of old males, while livers of old females showed an increase in DGAT1 (2.6-fold) and DGAT2 (4.9-fold) mRNA, with respect to 3-month old animals. The increases in DGAT1 and DGAT2 mRNAs matched in old females those of plasma (3.1-fold) and liver triglycerides (5.0-fold). CONCLUSIONS These features disclose a marked sexual dimorphism in lipid metabolism associated to old age in rats that can be partially attributed not only to an age-related decrease in liver PPARalpha expression, but also to changes in other hepatic transcription factors and enzymes, such as liver X receptor alpha (LXRalpha) and diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGAT).

Abstract
It is well known that gemfibrozil increases the biliary output of cholesterol and phospholipids, but we have little knowledge about the impact these changes have on liver cholesterol and phospholipid biosynthetic pathways. In the present study, no changes were detected in liver lipids and CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase after gemfibrozil administration to rats. On the contrary, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase mRNA (9.9-fold) and Rd activity (16.7-fold) and phosphatidate phosphohydrolase activity (1.7-fold) increased, while plasma apo B-cholesterol (40%) and triglyceride (43%) levels decreased. As a part of a compensatory homeostatic response, we report for the first time that gemfibrozil administration to rats increased the hepatic sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2) mRNA (2.9-fold) and mature protein (2.2-fold) levels. An early increase in the transcriptional activity of SREBP-2 elicited by gemfibrozil administration might be responsible for the observed changes in HMG-CoA reductase, phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, and SREBP-2 expression.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms by which peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation by fibrates reduces fat deposition and improves insulin sensitivity are not completely understood. We report that exposure of a rat primary culture of adipocytes for 24 h to the PPAR activator bezafibrate increased the mRNA levels of crucial genes involved in peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation. The mRNA levels of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation rate-limiting enzyme acyl-CoA oxidase and of the muscle-type carnitine palmitoyl transferase I (M-CPT-I), which determines the flux of mitochondrial beta-oxidation, increased by 1.6-fold (P < 0.02) and 4.5-fold (P = 0.001), respectively. These changes were accompanied by an increase in the transcript levels of the uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2; 1.5-fold induction; P < 0.05) and UCP-3 (3.7-fold induction; P < 0.001), mitochondrial proteins that reduce ATP yield and may facilitate the oxidation of fatty acids. Furthermore, bezafibrate increased the mRNA levels of the fatty acid translocase (2-fold induction; P < 0.01), suggesting a higher fatty acid uptake into adipocytes. In agreement with these changes, bezafibrate caused a 1.9-fold induction (P < 0.02) in 9,10-[(3)H]palmitate oxidation. Moreover, bezafibrate reduced the mRNA expression of several adipocyte markers, including PPARgamma (30% reduction; P = 0.05), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (33% reduction; P < 0.05), and the ob gene (26% reduction). In contrast, adipocyte fatty acid binding protein mRNA levels increased (1.5-fold induction; P < 0.01), pointing to a mobilization of fatty acids to mitochondria and peroxisomes. The reduction of the adipocyte markers caused by bezafibrate was accompanied by an increase in the mRNA levels of the preadipocyte marker Pref-1 (1.6-fold induction; P < 0.01). Some of the changes observed in the primary culture of rat adipocytes also were studied in the epididymal white adipose tissue of bezafibrate-treated rats for 7 days. In vivo, M-CPT-I mRNA levels increased (4.5-fold induction; P = 0.001) in epididymal white adipose tissue of bezafibrate-treated rats. Similarly, fatty acid translocase (2.6-fold induction; P = 0.002) and Pref-1 (5.6-fold induction) mRNA levels increased, although differences in the latter were not significant because of huge individual variations. These results indicate that exposure of adipocytes to bezafibrate, independent of its hepatic effects, increases the degradation of fatty acids, reducing their availability to synthesize triglycerides. As a result, some degree of dedifferentiation of adipocytes to preadipocyte-like cells is achieved. These changes may be involved in the reduction in fat depots and in the improvement of insulin sensitivity observed after bezafibrate treatment.

Abstract
We studied whether two typical effects of fibrates, induction of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (EC 1.14.99.5) and peroxisome proliferation, are related. The effect of bezafibrate on the activity and mRNA of stearoyl-CoA desaturase and acyl-CoA oxidase in the liver and epididymal white adipose tissue of male Sprague-Dawley rats was determined. The same parameters were measured in HepG2 cells, a cell line resistant to peroxisome proliferation, following incubation with ciprofibrate. Bezafibrate increased the hepatic mRNA levels (14.5-fold on day 7) and activity (9.3-fold on day 15) of acyl-CoA oxidase. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase mRNA levels were transiently increased (2.7-fold on day 7), while its activity remained increased at the end of the treatment (2.4-fold). In white adipose tissue, bezafibrate increased the mRNA (5-fold) and activity (1.9-fold) of acyl-CoA oxidase, while stearoyl-CoA desaturase was not modified. Ciprofibrate addition to HepG2 cells cultured in 7% fetal bovine serum (FBS) only increased the stearoyl-CoA desaturase mRNA (1.9-fold). When cells were cultured in 0.5% FBS, ciprofibrate increased acyl-CoA oxidase mRNA (2.2-fold), while the increase in stearoyl-CoA desaturase mRNA was identical (1.9-fold). Further, its activity was also increased (1.5-fold). Incubation of HepG2 cells in the presence of cycloheximide did not alter the capacity of ciprofibrate to induce stearoyl-CoA desaturase mRNA, whereas the presence of actinomycin abolished the induction. In addition, preincubation of HepG2 cells with ciprofibrate increased the rate of stearoyl-CoA desaturase mRNA degradation. The results presented in this study suggest that fibrates induce stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity and mRNA levels independently of peroxisome proliferation.

Abstract
Rats treated with bezafibrate, a PPAR activator, gain less body weight and increase daily food intake. Previously, we have related these changes to a shift of thermogenesis from brown adipose tissue to white adipose tissue attributable to bezafibrate, which induces uncoupling proteins (UCP), UCP-1 and UCP-3, in rat white adipocytes. Nevertheless, UCP induction was weak, implying additional mechanisms in the change of energy homeostasis produced by bezafibrate. Here we show that bezafibrate, in addition to inducing UCPs, modifies energy homeostasis by directly inducing aco gene expression and peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation in white adipose tissue. Further, bezafibrate significantly reduced plasma triglyceride and leptin concentrations, without modifying the levels of PPARgamma or ob gene in white adipose tissue. These results indicate that bezafibrate reduces the amount of fatty acids available for triglyceride synthesis in white adipose tissue.

Abstract
Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are mitochondrial membrane proton transporters that uncouple respiration from oxidative phosphorylation by dissipating the proton gradient across the membrane. We studied the direct effect of several peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) ligands on UCP-3 and UCP-2 mRNA expression in C2C12 myotubes for 24 h. In the absence of exogenous fatty acids, treatment of C2C12 cells with a selective PPARalpha activator (Wy-14,643) or a non-selective PPAR activator (bezafibrate) did not affect the expression of UCP-3 mRNA levels, whereas UCP-2 expression was slightly increased. In contrast, troglitazone, a thiazolidinedione which selectively activates PPARgamma, strongly decreased UCP-3 and UCP-2 mRNA levels. Another thiazolidinedione, ciglitazone, had the same effect, but to a lower extent, suggesting that PPARgamma activation is involved. Further, the presence of 0.5 mM oleic acid strongly increased UCP-3 mRNA levels and troglitazone addition failed to block the effect of this fatty acid. The drop in UCP expression after thiazolidinedione treatment correlated well with a reduction in PPARalpha mRNA levels produced by this drug, linking the reduction in PPARalpha mRNA levels with the down-regulation of UCP mRNA in C2C12 myotubes after thiazolidinedione treatment.

Abstract
The structural abnormalities of the genitourinary tract and cervical/vaginal infections are common in patients with diabetes mellitus. The objective was to determine the prevalence of gynecological abnormalities in diabetic women and to investigate its association with different variables. Diabetic women, aged 20 years and older who were attending the diabetic outpatient clinic, were randomly selected. All patients underwent a clinical and gynecological examination and a urianalysis, and papanicolaou. Smear were obtained. A total of 98 women, 84.7% type 2 diabetics, with a mean age of 57 +/- 13 years were included. Uretherocele, cystocele and/or rectocele were present in 19% and cervicitis in 22% of the patients. Urinary incontinence (OR 3.1, p = 0.03) and the history of multiparity (OR 4.2, p = 0.03) were statistically associated with these structural abnormalities. The symptom of vaginal discharge (OR 3.8, p = 0.01) was the only one variable that correlated with cervicitis. By comparing patients with and without cervicitis or gynecologic abnormalities, no significant differences were observed related to the type, duration or treatment of diabetes, blood glucose control or the evidence of leukocyturia in the urine sample. There is an elevated prevalence (31%) of gynecological abnormalities (cervicitis and/or structural abnormalities) in diabetic women, and are mostly asymptomatic.

Abstract
The effects of atorvastatin (3 mg kg(-1)) and simvastatin (3 mg kg(-1)) on hepatic enzyme activities involved in very low density lipoprotein metabolism were studied in coconut oil/cholesterol fed rabbits. Plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels increased 19 and 4 fold, respectively, after 7 weeks of feeding. Treatment with statins during the last 4 weeks of feeding abolished the progression of hypercholesterolaemia and reduced plasma triglyceride levels. 3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl Coenzyme A reductase, acylcoenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase, phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and diacylglycerol acyltransferase activities were not affected by drug treatment. Accordingly, hepatic free cholesterol, cholesteryl ester and triglyceride content were not modified. Simvastatin treatment caused an increase (72%) in lipoprotein lipase activity without affecting hepatic lipase activity. Atorvastatin caused a reduction in hepatic phospholipid content and a compensatory increase in CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyl transferase activity. The results presented in this study suggest that, besides the inhibitory effect on 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl Coenzyme A reductase, simvastatin and atorvastatin may have additional effects that contribute to their triglyceride-lowering ability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditionally visual hallucinations have been divided into simple and complex. Complex hallucinations due to disorder of the brainstem have been described, and this process referred to as peduncular hallucinosis. CLINICAL CASE A 74 year old woman with a history of endometrial carcinoma with metastases to bones and lungs, was admitted for progressive ataxia and paraesthesias of the left half of her body. During her admission to hospital she had complex visual hallucinations of cartoon animals, animals, people and geometrical figures. The patient herself realized that they were hallucinations. On cerebral computerized tomography there was a space occupying lesion in the pons-midbrain region of the brainstem. In the clinical context of this particular patient, it was considered to probably be a metastasis from the carcinoma of the endometrium. CONCLUSIONS Apart from its theoretical interest, peduncular hallucinosis has well defined stereotyped characteristics, and recognition of these may be useful in topographical diagnosis of the lesion.

Abstract
The effect of atorvastatin (3 mg kg(-1) day(-1)), simvastatin (3 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) and bezafibrate (100 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) administered for 4 weeks to male New Zealand white rabbits on enzyme activities related to lipid metabolism has been studied. Only the statins reduced plasma cholesterol values, while none of the drugs modified plasma triglyceride or high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol concentrations, nor the activity of enzymes such as hepatic diacylglycerol acyltransferase, lipoprotein lipase or hepatic lipase, directly involved in triglyceride metabolism. Both statins elicited similar increases in the hepatic microsomal 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl Coenzyme A (CoA) reductase activity (147 and 109% induction for simvastatin and atorvastatin, respectively), and none of the drugs assayed modified hepatic acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase activity significantly. Only bezafibrate induced a significant 57% reduction in the activity of hepatic microsomal cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase. Regarding the rate limiting enzyme of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyl transferase, atorvastatin and bezafibrate behaved similarly, decreasing the enzyme activity in the liver by 45% and 54%, respectively; simvastatin induced no modification of this activity. The reduction of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyl transferase activity is not caused by a direct inhibition of the enzyme by bezafibrate and atorvastatin. Further, the inhibitory effect of atorvastatin appears to be unrelated to the inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl CoA reductase elicited in vivo.

Abstract
1. The time-course of the effect of clofibrate (CFB), bezafibrate (BFB) and gemfibrozil (GFB) on lipid plasma levels and palmitoyl-, palmitoleoyl- and gamma-linolenoyl-CoA elongase, delta-9, delta-6 and delta-5 desaturase activities, and microsomal electron transport chains, as well as the correlation with the peroxisomal proliferation phenomenon have been studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats. 2. As reported in our previous work, the three drugs behave as peroxisomal proliferators (the order of potency was BFB > CFB > or = GFB) and induced a clear reduction in both plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels. 3. Palmitoyl-CoA elongation activity was increased by the three drugs (BFB = GFB > CFB), whereas palmitoleoyl-CoA elongation activity was only enhanced by GFB. Elongation activity was not modified by fibrates when gamma-linolenoyl-CoA was used as substrate. These results are in accordance with the existence of three different elongation systems for saturated, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. 4. delta-9, delta-6 and delta-5 desaturase activities were increased by the three fibrates, with an order of potency BFB > CFB = GFB for delta-9 and delta-5, and GFB > BFB = CFB for delta-6. 5. Of the enzyme activities integrated in the microsomal electron transport chains, NADH cytochrome b5 reductase was not affected by fibrate treatment, NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity was enhanced (BFB = GFB > CFB), whereas NADH cytochrome c reductase activity was reduced by CFB and BFB. 6. The increase in Delta-9 and Delta-5 desaturase activities was highly dependent on the peroxisomal proliferation phenomena, whereas the increase in Delta-6 desaturase activity and the decrease in NADH cytochromec reductase was mainly independent. The modifications of palmitoyl-CoA elongase and NADPH cytochrome c reductase activities, as well as plasma lipid levels, were partially correlated with peroxisomal beta-oxidation, but the r2 values obtained point to the existence of additional independent mechanisms.7. As man is assumed to be a species refractory to peroxisomal proliferation, only those fibrate effectsnot absolutely related to this phenomenon are expected to appear after fibrate therapy.

Abstract
Three fibric acid derivatives, clofibric acid (CFB), bezafibrate (BFB), and gemfibrozil (GFB), mainly used in the treatment of hypertriglyceridaemic or mixed hyperlipidaemic states, have been tested for their ability to modify fatty acid chain elongation and desaturation in vitro. Both endogenous and exogenous (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) fatty acid elongations were inhibited by fibrates at concentrations well within the physiological range (IC50 values for GFB were between 0.1 and 0.3 mM). The potency order was GFB > BFB > CFB. Inhibition was not due to an impairment of the activation step from free fatty acids to acyl-CoAs, as palmitoyl-CoA synthetase was only slightly inhibited (IC50 value for GFB = 2.8 mM). Fibrates (GFB) appeared to behave as mixed non-competitive inhibitors with respect to malonyl-CoA when the rate limiting step of elongation, the condensing enzyme, is assayed. Further, delta 6 and delta 5 desaturates were inhibited by the three drugs (GFB > BFB > CFB), although not to the same extent as the elongation system. In contrast, delta 9 desaturase activity was not affected by fibrates.

Abstract
Brefeldin A (BFA) has previously been shown to block protein secretion and to cause dismantling of the Golgi cisternae in many cultured cell lines. BFA was found to prevent the induced synthesis and secretion of 14 kDa group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in rat mesangial cells. Furthermore, BFA inhibited total protein synthesis although PLA2 appeared to be more sensitive to the effect of this compound than total protein synthesis assessed by amino acid incorporation. BFA was unable to block protein synthesis or PLA2 activity in the cell completely but secretion of enzymatic activity and PLA2 protein into the cell culture media was totally inhibited.

Abstract
The effect of fibric acid derivatives, clofibric acid (CFB), bezafibrate (BFB), and gemfibrozil (GFB) on hepatic cytosolic enzymatic activities involved in saturated fatty acid synthesis has been estudied in vitro. From all the activities tested (fatty acid synthetase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, ATP-citrate lyase, malic enzyme, malic dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase), only acetyl-CoA carboxylase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were significantly inhibited by fibrates, with the following order of potency: GFB > BFB > > CFB. The characteristics of the inhibition phenomena (IC50, kinetic analysis, time and protein dependence, etc) and their transcendence to the effects of fibric acid derivatives in vivo are discussed.

Abstract
Gemfibrozil, a hypolipidemic drug mainly used in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemic states, strongly inhibits the rat hepatic microsomal fatty acid chain elongation system in vitro. The inhibition is independent on the reducing cofactor used in the assay. Furthermore, gemfibrozil seems to act by inhibiting the rate-limiting step of the elongation process, the condensing reaction, without discriminating among the proposed three different condensing enzymes, devoted to condensation of saturated, mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated acyl-CoA substrates.

Abstract
The effect of in vitro addition of three hypolipidemic drugs (clofibric acid, bezafibrate and gemfibrozil) on rat palmitoyl-CoA hydrolases has been studied, by using a spectrophotometric method (Berge RK, Biochim Biophys Acta 574: 321-333, 1979) optimized for valoration of crude enzyme preparations. Mitochondrial and microsomal hepatic palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activities were inhibited by the three drugs in a concentration-dependent fashion. The order of inhibitory potency was gemfibrozil greater than bezafibrate greater than clofibric acid, irrespective of the enzyme activity tested. Cytosolic rat brain palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity was not affected. Kinetic studies with gemfibrozil on the solubilized microsomal palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity point to a mixed non-competitive type of inhibition.

Abstract
Soil samples were analysed for the presence of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs as indicators of environmental pollution in household yards in Maputo, Mozambique, with the objective of evaluating the impact of a programme for the promotion of improved latrine construction. The locations for soil sample collection were defined by a random grid on which household activities were mapped. In addition, parasitological examinations were carried out amongst household residents. No significant difference was found between the type of latrine in use and the presence of Ascaris eggs in the soil or human Ascaris infection. Households with at least one infected person appeared more likely to have Ascaris eggs in the yard. It was notable that egg counts around the latrines were only slightly greater than in other areas of the yard and less than those immediately in front of the dwelling. This is taken to indicate that faecal pollution of the household environment is due more to promiscuous defecation than to poor construction or maintenance of the latrines. The findings highlight the need to complement sanitation 'hardware' with the necessary health education 'software'. Ascaris eggs are useful indicators but robust standardized methods are needed for their extraction from household soils.

Abstract
"Acid-stable, heat-stable polypeptides" (previously called proteose-peptone) of three milk species have been studied. Analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that all fractions showed similar patterns. Only bands with the lowest mobilities showed the presence of carbohydrates when stained with Schiff's reagent. These bands had a lower mobility in ewe's and goat's milk than in cow's milk. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis showed the presence of fucose, mannose, glucose, galactose, glucosamine and galactosamine in the three fractions studied. Acid-stable, heat-stable polypeptides of bovine milk had the lowest carbohydrate content (4 mg/100 mg protein), whereas the highest content was found in ewe's milk (7.30 mg/100 mg protein) mainly as a result of the high galactose, mannose and glucosamine content. The sialic acid content was lower in ewe's and goat's milk (2.68 and 2.98 mg/100 mg protein respectively) than in bovine milk (2.06 mg/100 mg protein).
