Michel Macheboeuf
Michel Macheboeuf (19 October 1900 – 20 August 1953) was a French physician scientist who served as a head of the biochemistry department of the Pasteur Institute and studied blood lipids. He has been called the father of plasma lipoproteins. Macheboeuf was born in Châtel-Guyon, France, son of the physician Elie Macheboeuf.

He also studied with S.P.L. Sørensen in Copenhagen as a Rockefeller Fellow. Along with Bertrand, he found lipids in blood plasma and they found that they could be complexed with albumin (he called it as "cenapse"). The principle is still used in the lipid albumin index used in clinical studies, whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pasteur Institute
The Pasteur Institute (french: Institut Pasteur) is a French non-profit private foundation dedicated to the study of biology, micro-organisms, diseases, and vaccines. It is named after Louis Pasteur, who invented pasteurization and vaccines for anthrax and rabies. The institute was founded on 4 June 1887, and inaugurated on 14 November 1888. For over a century, the Institut Pasteur has researched infectious diseases. This worldwide biomedical research organization based in Paris was the first to isolate HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, in 1983. Over the years, it has been responsible for discoveries that have enabled medical science to control diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, influenza, yellow fever, and plague. Since 1908, ten Institut Pasteur scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology—the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was shared between two Pasteur scientists.

Gabriel Bertrand
Gabriel Bertrand (born 17 May 1867 in Paris, died 20 June 1962 in Paris) was a French pharmacologist, biochemist and bacteriologist. Bertrand introduced into biochemistry both the term “oxidase” and the concept of trace elements. The laccase, a polyphenol oxidase and an enzyme oxidating urishiol and laccol obtained from the lacquer tree, was first studied by Gabriel Bertrand in 1894. Bertrand's rule refers to the fact that the dose–response curve for many micronutrients is non-monotonic, having an initial stage of increasing benefits with increased intake, followed by increasing costs as excesses become toxic. In 2005, Raubenheimer et al. fed excess carbohydrates to ''Spodoptera littoralis'' and extended Bertrand's rule to macronutrients. In 1894, with Césaire Phisalix, he developed an antivenom Antivenom, also known as antivenin, venom antiserum, and antivenom immunoglobulin, is a specific treatment for envenomation. It is composed of antibodies and used to trea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
