Hepatotoxic Effects of Lipid-altering Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), and current guidelines support low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as a primary target of therapy.[1] Previous studies suggest that increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and reducing triglycerides and small LDL particles may also have a positive impact in prevention.[2] These factors are considered secondary targets of lipid management. Most lipid-altering drugs have a sound overall safety profile and are generally well tolerated.[1]

Aflatoxins are food-borne secondary toxic fungal metabolites produced during the growth of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Aflatoxins are well known hepatotoxic, hepatocarcinogenic and mutagenic agents. These effects are mainly due to adduct formation with DNA, RNA and protein. In addition, it also causes lipid peroxidation as well as oxidative damage to DNA. AFB1 possess genotoxic poten...

متن کاملOptimal Lipid Modification: The Rationale for Combination Therapy
BACKGROUND An emphasis on more aggressive lipid-lowering, particularly of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, to improve patient outcomes has led to an increased use of combination lipid-lowering drugs. This strategy, while potentially beneficial, has triggered concerns regarding fears of adverse effects, harmful drug interactions, and patient nonadherence. OBJECTIVE To present key data rega...

Backround: Tebuconazole is a systemic fungicide that its toxicity has been reported in animals and humans due to direct and indirect exposure. Our study aimed to assess hepatotoxic effects of Tebuconazole at subacute doses in rats. Methods: Tebuconazole was administered by oral gavage at doses of 6, 12, 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg daily. Serum levels of ALT, AST, and ALP were determined. Histopathol...
