    Abstract: Fetuins are blood glycoproteins manufactured in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream. These glycoproteins make up a large group of binding proteins which mediates the transit and presence of a myriad of substances in the blood stream. Serum albumin, which is the most abundant protein in adult animal plasma is best known as the representative... Show More
