Complex dielectric constants of human sera protein-bound water behaviour in bowel cancer patients

The complex dielectric constants of human sera have been measured in the frequency range 50–1000 MHz using a Hewlett-Packard 4191A RF Impedance Analyzer. The properties of water bound to the proteins are investigated and the implications to the pathological conditions of the subjects are studied. Th...

Description
Summary:The complex dielectric constants of human sera have been measured in the frequency range 50–1000 MHz using a Hewlett-Packard 4191A RF Impedance Analyzer. The properties of water bound to the proteins are investigated and the implications to the pathological conditions of the subjects are studied. The proteins from cancer patients are significantly more hydrated than normal ones. This is particularly noticeable for gamma-globulins, thus suggesting an immunological defect in cancer patients.
