[Glycosylated hemoglobins in humans and various animal species]

The quantity of glycosylated hemoglobins and proteins from blood serum of rabbits, fishes, minks and guinea-pigs is investigated. The content of glycosylated hemoglobins in newborns and healthy adults is compared with that of animals. The colorimeter method of defining glycosylate proteins is used in the test. Three groups are isolated by the quantity of glycosylated proteins. These are the following: the first group with the low content--minks, rabbits, guinea-pigs, the second one with the mean content--healthy newborn and grown-ups and the third group with the high content--fishes. The obtained results evidence for possibility of protein glycosylation not only in human beings but also in animals and fishes.
