Male guinea pigs were maintained on a vitamin C-deficient chow diet and supplemented with either 0.05 or 2.0 mg of ascorbic acid/ml drinking water for 3 weeks prior to receiving an intraperitoneal injection of 4.0 g of ethanol/kg body weight. The following biochemical parameters were measured prior to, and hourly for 12 hours after, ethanol administration: serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminas...

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with obesity are more susceptible to liver injury. There is currently no published overview regarding COVID-19 injury in Indonesia. Our study reported 7 cases of obese an increase serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and pyruvic (SGPT), followed by 5 them developing severe symptoms isolation room Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya wi...

Herbal and plant origin crude drugs with anti-lipid peroxidative activity had become a central focus for study of hepatoprotection due to its safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness. The aim of present study is to analyse the hepatoprotective and lipotropic effect of Mentha piperita leaf in CCl4 induced free radical mediated oxidative stress rats. In the present study, an attempt has been made ...

Twenty-five female buffaloes suffering from uterine torsion were presented to the clinic of Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics, CVAS, Bikaner for treatment. Three times blood samples were obtained from 25 buffaloes with uterine torsion (at the time of presentation of the animal, 1 h and 24 h after fetal delivery) and 5 healthy buffaloes to investigate the relationship between concentrations ...

To evaluate the anti-diabetic activity of ethanolic extract of Pseudarthria viscida whole plant on Streptozotocin Nicotinamide induced type-II diabetes in rats. A crude extract of Pseudarthria viscida whole was prepared by Soxhlet extraction and the ethanolic extract was dried. At a dose of 100 mg/kg, 200mg/kg the extract was given for 14 days to evaluate the anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hyperli...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Dengue fever is one of the most common tropical diseases worldwide. Early diagnosis of dengue helps in patient triage and timely management of dengue virus infection.This study was undertaken to note the early clinical features supported by detection of NS1 antigen for diagnosis of dengue virus infection. METHODOLOGY In this study a total of 100 adult patients presen...

BACKGROUND Lawsonia inermis (Lythraceae) is an ethnomedicinal plant, traditionally known for curing several ailments such as skin diseases, bacterial infections, jaundice, renal lithiases and inflammation etc. The present work deals with assessment of in vitro antioxidant and in vivo hepatoprotective potential of butanolic fraction (But-LI) of Lawsonia inermis L. leaves. METHODS Antioxidant a...

Pet Ether, Chloroform, and Methanol extracts of roots of Blue and White flowered varieties of Clitoria ternatea (CT) were studied for their hepatoprotective potential against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The hepatoprotective activity was assessed using various biochemical parameters like serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate tr...

Mechanisms of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced endotoxemia are not clear; their protective role is being investigated so that they may effectively modulate the host cytokine levels during endotoxemia. The aim of the study was to evaluate protective effects of IL-18 and IL-10 in experimentally induced endotoxemia in mice correlating the change...

Myocardial Infarction (MI) has been diagnosed on the basis of enzyme assay such as CK-MB, SGOT, LDH and troponin I & troponin T in addition to clinical findings, ECG changes and Echocardiographic changes. In 1 the present study another enzyme AChE has been taken to estimate the damage of myocardium because heart is richly innervated by cholinergic nerves. Along with the study of AChE enzyme kin...
