In recent years, the use and search for drugs and dietary supplements derived from plants have accelerated in the treatment of diabetes and hypertension because of the hazardous adverse effects of the current therapy. A comparison was made between the antidiabetic-antihypertensive activities of aqueous extracts of leaves of Cynodon dactylon and Phyllanthus niruriin rats with simultaneous type 2...

CONTEXT Renal transplantation is the definitive treatment in renal failure patients. Liver disease is a known problem in renal transplant recipients. They may be consequent to immunosuppression, drug toxicity, altered immune response to viruses and hemodialysis. AIMS The aim of this study was to analyze and correlate the biochemical parameters and histopathology of liver biopsy among renal tr...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of zinc supplementation on the activities of certain serum enzymes-alkaline phosphatase (ALP), CuZn superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), ceruloplasmin, SGOT and SGPT in pigs. Twenty four crossbred (Hampshire X Assam Local) pigs, 4 months of age were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=8 in each). Control (C) animals were offered basal diet supplemented w...

Indonesian culture actually has no historical record of behaviors in consuming alcohol, but there are many recent reports of alcohol abuse among Asian people involving their traditional drink. In genotype studies, the damage of the liver caused by consuming alcohol is influenced by the presence of the polymorphism enzyme gene. The lack of study regarding such topic is a signal to further invest...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cytotoxicity and hepatoprotective potentials of extracts, fractions or isolated compound from the leaves of Feronia limonia (F. limonia). METHODS Qualitative phytochemical analysis of extracts, fractions or compound was performed by means of thin layer chromatography and spectroscopic assays. The % purity of compound was measured by analytical HPLC. Extracts, fractio...

The Du Pont “Automatic Clinical Analyzer” (ACA) and the Technicon “SMA 12/60” were compared as to precision, range of linearity, and results for sera from patients. Precision of the ACA was equal to or better than that of the SMA 12/60 for all determinations except SGOT in the normal range. The ACA showed a wider range of linearity for BUN, total protein, LDH, alkaline phosphatase, SGOT, and bi...

T he causal relationship between the rise in activity of certain enzymes in the serum and the occurrence of damage to the myocardium has been established without question. Experiments and histochemical investigations have shown that infarcted heart muscle is rapidly depleted of various enzymes, and that these enzymes appear in an active form in the blood that drains from the infarcted myocardiu...

During our present study, we examined the W. somnifera extract effect on epinephrine induced stress. Forty Swiss albino mice were divided into three groups as non stressed group and stressed group and extract treated group .The stressed groups were exposed to 2 weeks and 4 weeks of chronic immobilization stress with epinephrine. At the end of the 2 and 4 weeks the mice were sacrificed and blood...

In the title compound, C(6)H(9)N(3)O(3), the 3-diazo-2-oxopropan-amide section of the mol-ecule is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.025 (1) Å from the mean plane of its constituent atoms. The diazo C=N=N angle is 178.0 (3)°. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infinite double chains along the [100] direction. The double ch...
