Decoction is the process by which hardy plant matter such as roots, bark, seeds, vines, and other less volatile botanicals are boiled in a liquid to extract its curative essences.
Human serum albumin is the version of serum albumin found in human blood. It is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma; it constitutes about half of serum protein.It is produced in the liver. It is soluble and monomeric.he reference range for albumin concentrations in serum is approximately 35 - 50 g/L (3.5 - 5.0 g/dL). It has a serum half-life of approximately 20 days. It has a molecular mass of 66.5 kDa. The gene for albumin is located on chromosome 4 and mutations in this gene can result in anomalous proteins.
Albumin is prepared as a sterile solution, contains no preservatives and is treated to prevent transmitting viruses. (treated for at leat 10 hours at 60 degrees Centigrade or 140 degrees Fahrenheit) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates its preparation, distribution and use. Patient Considerations: Albumin is constituted as a protein fraction derived from a primary component of blood. The acceptable use of this fraction is a personal choice.
