This study investigated the hypolipidemic effects of curcumin, cinnamon, vitamin C and simvastatin in male rabbits. The effect these materials were assessed by following on body weight, lipid profile liver enzymes. includes total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low (LDL). activities enzymes include aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine (ALT) alkaline pho...

Homalium letestui Pellegr (Flacourtiaceae) is used traditionally by the Ibibios of Southern Nigeria to treat stomach ulcer, malaria and other inflammatory diseases and Yorubas of western Nigeria as an antidote. The hepatoprotective effect of the stem extract (200-600 mg/kg) was evaluated by the assay of liver function parameters, namely total and direct bilirubin, serum protein and albumin, tot...

Mammea africana Sabine (Guttiferae) stembark, a common plant, traditionally used to treat various diseases and ailments was evaluated for hepatoprotective potentials against paracetamol- induced liver injury in rats. The hepatoprotective effect of the stembark extract (30-90 mg/kg) was evaluated by the assay of liver function parameters: total and direct bilirubin, serum protein and albumin, to...

Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, Iaşi, Romania 2 “Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, Romania ABSTRACT. The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of selenium supplementation on serum amylase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activiti...

The protective effect of fresh aloe vera (AV) leaves extract on lindane (LD) - induced hepatoxicity and genotoxicity was studied. Serum levels of hepatic enzyme markers: glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were determined after oral administration of aloe vera leaves extract and lindane...

BACKGROUND To examine bone mineral density in extremely low birth weight infants at discharge and investigate whether serial measurements of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphate can predict bone mineralization. METHODS The individuals were 70 preterm infants. Serum calcium, phosphate, and ALP were measured at weekly intervals during admission in extremely low birth weight infants (m...

Microdetermination of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) glycoforms by lectin affinity electrophoresis followed by chemiluminescence reaction using horseradish peroxidase (POD) or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in antibody-affinity blotting was developed. The intensity of chemiluminescence obtained by ALP was greater than that by POD; however, the coefficient of variation with POD was less than that with ALP....

We report an easy, rapid method for quantifying bone isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1., ALP) in serum. The original method described by Rosalki and Ying Foo (Clin Chem 1984;30:1182-6) was somewhat simplified. In contrast to their results, we found that bone ALP is precipitated quantitatively by wheat-germ lectin. To check the clinical plausibility of the method, we used samples fro...

Human placenta alkaline phosphatase (HP-ALP), a glycoprotein, was stained histochemically for the purpose of examining the concanavalin A (Con A) binding sites on the cell surface. HP-ALP was bound to the cell surface by Con A. This simple method successfully detected Con A binding sites on the cell surface.
