chemistry analyzer, is intended to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, potassium, sodium, total bilirubin, total carbon dioxide, total protein, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in heparinized whole blood, heparinized plasma, or serum in a...

Materials and methods: The evaluation consisted of determination of within-run and between-run imprecision, inaccuracy and comparison with Olympus AU2700. The tested analytes were: glucose, creatinine, urate, total bilirubin, cholesterol, tryglicerides, calcium, phosphate, iron, unsaturated iron binding capacity, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, creat...

Objectives: Adenosine has been shown in animal and human studies to decrease the post-ischemic myocardial injury by lowering the levels of tumor necrosis factor-a. The objectives of the study was to examine the protective effects of adenosine on the organ injury (liver, kidney, pancreas) associated with hemorrhagic shock in rats. Methodology: The study was conducted at Cardiovascular Physiology...

BACKGROUND A minority of persons at risk develop liver cirrhosis, but knowledge of risk modulators is sparse. Several reports suggest that coffee drinking is associated with lower cirrhosis risk. METHODS We studied 125,580 multiethnic members of a comprehensive prepaid health care plan without known liver disease who supplied baseline data at voluntary health examinations from 1978 to 1985. S...

background: tramadol narcotic drugs or epoxied artificial categories is weaker than morphine and stronger than ibuprofen and acetaminophen drug. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oral tramadol on some liver enzymes in the rat. materials and methods: in this study, 60 male wistar rats were randomized into three groups (one control group, and experimental groups of 1, and 2)....

We studied 119 patients with OSAS and 35 controls. Participants were recruited and studied at the sleep unit at Hospital Universitari Son Espases, Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Serum levels of fetuin-A, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) were ...

In order to examine the effect of exogenous melatonin on selected blood indices, dairy goats were given pineal gland hormone at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg body weight. Next, one and four hours after the melatonin had been administered, blood samples were collected from the goats in the control and treated groups in order to determine the levels of glucose, total cholesterol, triacyloglycerides, free f...

Rats having a protein-free diet available ad libitum were fed a daily casein meal at the beginning of either the light- or the dark-phase of the day. A control group received a mixed-diet ad libitum. In all three groups, daily food ingestion was the same and casein corresponded to 12% of total intake. Liver activities of alanine, aspartate, ornithine and tyrosine aminotransferase, ornithine dec...
