Abstract:
We report here observations clearly demonstrating that gloves can have a deleterious impact on an IEF experiment. These observations were made during the practice of analyses for anti-doping control of erythropoietin. We show that the wearing of nitrile gloves to apply the catholyte strip onto the IEF gel may be responsible for dramatic distortions in the pattern of this hormone. These observations point out that gloves must not be considered only as protective items but also as possible factors in an analytic process.

Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...
Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
