background: vast majority of complaints and physical examination findings of hydatid disease are common in emergency room patients. different emergency presentations of hydatid cyst disease and their treatment are evaluated. we studied preoperative laboratory findings of these patients to identify any parameters to predict hydatid cyst-biliary system communication. methods: we reviewed the file...

The y-glutamyl transferase isoenzymes of bile were studied using electrophoretic, gel filtration, and ultracentrifugation techniques. In view of the known association of other biliary enzymes with lipids the effects of butanol extraction were investigated. The results show the presence of four isoenzymes ofy-glutamyl transferase in bile, differing in electrophoretic mobilities, molecular size, ...

PURPOSE To define a possible metabolic and/or signaling role for Cys-Gly in glutathione homeostasis in bovine eye lenses. METHODS Bovine lenses were cultured up to 24 h in a medium containing 0.5 mM reduced glutathione (GSH) under different conditions. The intracellular and the extracellular contents of thiol compounds were evaluated using a free zone capillary electrophoresis method. RESUL...
