The present study deals with the effect of herbal powder of Vernonia cinerea and Cuminum cyminum on tissue defense system against CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) induced hepatic injury in rats. CCl4 diluted with liquid paraffin oil (1:1 ratio) in a dose of 1ml / kg body wt was given intraperitoneally for 2 days. Herbal powder as a suspension of water (10mg / 100g body wt / day) was administered ora...

A 61-year-old obese female presented with hypothyroidism, insulin-independent diabetes mellitus, and asymptomatic hepatomegaly. The diagnostic evaluation of hepatomegaly with elevated transaminase is discussed. Liver biopsy findings are discussed. Plans for therapy are presented and evaluated.

In this study, we developed a one-pot one-step deracemization method for the production of various enantiomerically pure amines using two opposite enantioselective ω-TAs. Using this method, various aromatic amines were successfully converted to their (R)-forms (>99%) with good conversion.

In 33 methyl bromide users, slight electroencephalographic changes (in 10 subjects) and a small increase in serum transaminases were found which could be related to bromine concentration in blood. No relationship was found with subjective symptoms, general neurological examination or the results of serum protein electrophoresis.

In a study of the composition of the epididymal fluid of rams, attention was given to the fact that nitrogen compounds constitute a great part of the dry matter and that so far seventeen free amino acids have been detected in the fluid (Ch. Neumark, unpublished data). It was therefore deemed of interest to study the enzymes of their metabolism. Two principal transaminases were investigated: glu...

Hepatitis C virus infection evolves progressively persisting in the majority of patients (85%). Most patients have high ALT (alanine aminotransferase) levels and approximately 25% normal ALT. The latter are usually female and there is no association between genotype and severity of hepatic lesion. Histologic analysis usually shows small lesion and absence or low amount of fibrosis, despite cirr...
