Electrophoretic Comparison of the Serum Proteins of Normal and Diethylstilbestrol-treated Cockerels

The Distribution of Radioactive Phosphorus in the Electrophoretic Components of Chicken Blood Sera

“…3. Note that, due to the dilution factor, component 2, the serum albumin, although as previously demonstrated of the same order of magnitude in the blood sera from the cockerel and that from the diethylstilbestrol injected chicken (Clegg et al, 1951), appears much smaller in the latter case. This high dilution of the blood serum samples was necessary in order to obtain the electrophoretic pictures of the samples from the diethylstilbesterol injected chickens.…”

“…T HE RELATIVE distribution of phosphorus in the electrophoretic components of the blood serum from laying hens, cockerels, and diethylstilbestrol injected cockerels has been observed (Brandt et al, 1950;Moore, 1948;Clegg et al, 1951). By means of a method developed, to measure P 32 content of the various electrophoretic fronts in the Tiselius type electrophoresis apparatus (Hein and Clegg, 1952), certain of these components, particularly in the case of the laying hen and diethylstilbestrol treated cockerels, were observed to contain a large amount of the total P 32 activity (Clegg and Hein, 1953).…”

Amino Acid and Lipid Relationships in Component 6 of Diethylstilbestrol-Treated Cockerel Serum ,

“…Clegg et al (1951) showed that when a diethylstilbestrol solution was injected into cockerels, changes take place in the serum of these birds similar to changes which occur when hens begin egg production. Polonovski (1966) also demonstrated differences in the serum of control and estrogenized birds.…”

Levels of Lipoproteins in Chicken Plasma

“…DISCUSSION Several authors have pointed out that plasma of laying hens and roosters treated with estrogen contains larger amounts of beta-lipoproteins than that of non-laying hens and roosters (Brandt et al, 1951;Clegg et al, 1951Clegg et al, , 1960Caldwell and Suydam, 1959;Urist et al, 1958;Urist and Schjeide, 1961).
