BACKGROUND: Recently, the researches about herbal medicines as substitutes for chemical drugs have risen in number. OBJECTIVES: To add more aspects to this research area, this study evaluated the changes in biochemical factors of the blood serum due to the consumption of Thymus daenensis extract and the effect of the period of its consumption into the...

Exercise has become an integral part of life in this modern era due to sedentary lifestyle. Although, urticaria patients are being evaluated for all the common triggering factors like food, environmental allergens and infections, entity called exercise induced often get missed. Exertional asymptomatic rhabdomyolysis must be kept mind during evaluation. A 27 year male patient was diagnosed with ...

Abstract The most frequent type of primary liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), accounting for approximately 90% cancers and a third leading cause deaths. In the current study, synthesized compound 3 was re-formulated using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) with weight ratio (1:1) via sol-gel technique. prepared material has been examined Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),...

Carbohydrate metabolism markers, thyroid profile indexes, transaminase activity and structural features of liver were studied, taking into account sexual dimorphism, in rats which keeping on a high-fructose diet under conditions adequate iodine supply pre- postnatal deficiency. It was found that fructose loading animals with deficiency the risk insulin resistance (IR) development increases (HOM...

Introduction: The changing epidemiology of liver disease, and modifications in the recommended analytical methodology call for a re-evaluation upper reference limits (URL) alanine aminotransferases (ALT).

Species of coryneform bacteria (Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium flavum, and B. ammoniagenes) are capable of transaminating all three of the aromatic pathway intermediates; prephenate, phenylpyruvate, and 4-hydroxy-phenylpyruvate. Two molecular species of aromatic aminotransferase (denoted aminotransferase I and aminotransferase II) were partially purified from C. glutamicum and B. fl...

We determined the three-dimensional structures of aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT) from Escherichia coli and its complex with inhibitor (2-methyl-L-aspartate) at 1.8A resolution. This enzyme reversibly catalyzes the transamination reaction and is a dimer of two identical subunits. Each subunit has 396 amino acid residues and one pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as a cofactor, and is divided into two do...

Background and Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) remains an ongoing major public health problem in the world. In recent years, experimental evidenc suggests a link between TB and Vitamin (Vit) D. This study was conducted to determine serum Vit D, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and parathormone (PTH) levels in untreated pulmonary TB (PTB) patients. Materials and Methods: In this case control study, 5...
