BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The study evaluated the hypolipidaemic and hepatoprotective effects of unripe Psidium guajava fruit peel aqueous extract in streptozotocin (STZ) induced severely diabetic rats by assaying their triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), asperate amino transeferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (A...

In the present study, changes of values of serum 17ß-estradiol (E2), Asparate amino teransferase (AST), Alanine amino transferase (ALT) and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) following intraperitoneal (i.p) injection with the aromatase inhibitor (AI) letrozole were investigated in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Forty- eight apparently healthy rainbow trout (mean weight of 845 g) divided...

Overt hypothyroidism frequently leads to liver dysfunction. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is linked to abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism, however, data on liver function are lacking. We analyzed the effects of L-thyroxine (L-T4) therapy on liver function and their association with changes of serum lipoproteins in SCH as part of a prospective, double-blind study. 66 women with SCH were ...

OBJECTIVE Comparison of gamma glutamyltransferase in normal and type 2 diabetics. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 100 apparently normal healthy subjects and, 47 type 2 diabetic subjects were selected from either sex with ages between 18-65 years. Subjects were measured for waist/hip ratio, BMI and serum levels of ALT, AST, Alk phosphatase and glutamyl transferase (GGT). The study excluded...
