Age-Related Changes in the Content of Proteins and Protein Fractions in Blood Serum

Abstract

The article describes the results of the study of changes in the concentration of total protein and its fractions in the age range from 16 to 60 years. Concentrations of total protein and its fractions were studied in several age groups formed according to age periodization. Blood donors were the subjects. Biochemical blood analysis was performed using an automatic analyzer. Total protein, albumin and globulin fractions in blood serum were studied. According to the results of the study, it was found that there were age-related differences in some of the studied biochemical components. Mainly age differences were noted in the transition from adolescence to adulthood, the first period. There were no statistically significant differences between the subjects of adolescence and adulthood, the second period. Thus, age-related changes in total protein and its fractions in blood serum were largely absent in the age interval from 16 to 60 years.
