The aim of the study was to evaluate usefulness determining markers myocardial damage, such as: aspartate aminotransferase, total creatine kinase, cardiac kinase isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, dehydrogenase isoenzyme and peripheral blood lactic acid in sport horses subjected physical exertion. research carried out on 50 three breeds: Ukrainian Riding, Hanoverian Westphalian, aged 4-16 years....

A new heptapeptide GAGPHGG (OC1) was isolated from Carapax trionycis which was a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) used for treatment of hepatic diseases. The structure of OC1 was characterized by MS, NMR techniques, together with amino acid sequence analysis. The hepatoprotective activity of OC1 was evaluated in vivo using the CCl4-induced acute liver injury model. Combining the pathological ...

Aphanamixis polystachya is a traditional medicinal plant of the Meliaceae family in India. A crude ethanolic extract of the leaf of this plant shows a beneficial effect on toxic liver injury. Its antihepatotoxic activity was evaluated on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury in a rat model. The assessment of hepatoprotective activity was evaluated by measuring the activities of aspar...

Incubation of rat hepatocytes with epinephrine inhibited alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (80%) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (53%) activities with no effect on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Injection of epinephrine caused a progressive increase with time in hepatic LDH activity, being 52% at 24 h. Preinjection with propranolol eliminated the hormone effect and caused further ...

A root tip cDNA library, constructed in the lambda Zap II expression vector, was immunoscreened with a monoclonal antibody raised against aspartate aminotransferase-P1 from Lupinus angustifolius L. var Uniharvest. One 1452-base pair clone was isolated. The encoded protein sequence had high homology to both plant and animal aspartate aminotransferase sequences. The clone was converted to the pha...

1. Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Alanine aminotransferase measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain liver diseases (e.g., viral hepatitis and cirrhosis) and heart diseases. Elevated levels of the transaminases can indicate myocardial infarction, hepatic disease, muscular dystrophy, or organ damage. Serum elevations of ALT activity are rarely observed except in parenchymal...

conclusions in conclusion, we have shown that vitamin c administration provides protection against csa-induced injury in rat liver function and may have hepatoprotective role in the patients experiencing csa treatment. background cyclosporine a (csa) is an important immunosuppressive agent; however, its clinical use is limited by several side effects such as hepatotoxicity. vitamin c (ascorbic ...
