Overview

Blood plasma is the liquid extracellular component of blood in which cells and platelets are suspended, an aqueous matrix carrying proteins such as albumin, immunoglobulins, and clotting factors together with electrolytes, nutrients, hormones, lipids, and dissolved gases. It maintains osmotic balance, transports vasoactive and metabolic substances, and serves as the medium sampled for most clinical biochemistry, making its composition a window onto systemic physiology and disease. Research relevant to this area examines vasoactive substance content in blood in an experimental model of renovascular hypertension and the action of the flavone luteolin, plasma microRNA expression as a correlate of melanoma progression and survival, and the impact of nutrient intake on diabetes-related plasma measures. Allied work addresses atherosclerosis risk factors assessed in plasma, amino acids and their derivatives in liver disease, glucose and apoptosis in stored platelets, polymorphisms associated with coronary heart disease risk, and circulating markers in sickle cell anaemia. These studies integrate clinical biochemistry, molecular medicine, and physiology to clarify how plasma composition reflects and influences health and disease. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on Body Fluids, plasma constituents, and their role as diagnostic and physiological indicators.
