Abstract
Blood samples of naturally postmenopausal women and healthy control
cycling females were collected at different places tn Lahore by the expert persons The study concerns on the physiological adaptations after the natural menopause Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide Gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) based on the method of Laemmli (1970) was employed for studying protein profile of postmenopausal and
control subjects. Gels were photographed and their images were stored for quantification of various protem fractions by Gene Genius Bio-imaging Gel Documentation System that provided the data of molecular weights and percent raw volumes by each of the fractions. The data was analyzed statistically using Student t-test in finding the enhancement or
reduction and appearance or disappearance of particular protein fractions for comparisons among the postmenopausal and the control subjeets. The six low molecular weight protein fractions were detected that were ranging between 26-1E kDa. Non significant elevations were observed in 26. 20 and Tt kDa protein fractions. Highly significant
elevations were observed ino lo. PS and 14 kDa protein fractions in postmenopausal subjects when compared with control subjects.
