Abstract
Sex related differences in the blood protein patterns of male and female rats and humans have been studied by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. In rats, a prominent band of mol.wt. 74000–78000 is seen in females in far greater quantity than in males, castrated males or ovariectomized females. A secondary band of 100000 is seen under non-reducing conditions in female rats that is absent in males. In humans, bands of 92000 and 88000 mol.wt. appear to be variable in concentration in men although relatively constant in women. The above differences are observable only if serum albumin is removed from the samples before electrophoresis. The results suggest that each sex has its own characteristic blood protein pattern.
