Rate of decay and distribution volume of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase, intravenously injected into the baboon.

Serial serum creatine phosphokinase MB isoenzyme activity after myocardial infarction. Studies in the baboon and man.

Serum CPK-MB iosenzyme activity was measured serially after mercury embolization of the left circumflex coronary artery in five baboons and after clinical acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in 20 patients. The calculated amount of enzyme released into the baboons' circulation (CPK-MBR) correlated well (r = 0.991) with the amount of MB isoenzyme depleted from the myocardium (CPK-MBD) when a previ...

Antivenom injection time related effects of Hemiscorpius lepturus scorpion envenomation in rabbits

Hemiscorpius lepturus is the most dangerous scorpion species, endemic in Khuzestan province and other southwestern areas of Iran, causing morbidity and mortality in children and adults. The efficacy of the antivenom for reversal of manifestation caused by venom of this scorpion is a controversial issue. In the present work, H. lepturus venom (1500 µg/kg) was subcutaneously injected into two ...

Serum Enzymes Studies in Scorpion (Hemiscorpius lepturus) Dose Related Envenomation in Rabbits

Hemiscorpius lepturus is medically important scorpion species present in the south and southwest part of Iran, causing morbidity and mortality in children and adults. Unlike other scorpions studied so far, the venom of H. lepturus is highly cytotoxic, that can be a reason for its complexity in clinical manifestations in patients stung by this scorpion. Scarce studies showed the mechanism invol...

Assessment of The Diagnostic Capability of Serum Creatine Phosphokinase and Its Isoenzyme in Ectopic Pregnancy

Effects of Short-term Renovascular Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes on Cardiac Functions in Rats

Background: The cardiac effects simultaneously occurring during experimental hypertension and diabetes have rarely been investigated. This study aimed at examining the effects of short-term renovascular hypertension and type 2 diabetes on cardiac functions. Methods: Five groups (7 each) of male Sprague-Dawley rats, including a control group, a diabetes (induced by Streptozocin and Nicotinamide)...
