the present study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effects of artichoke on liver function in broiler chicks poisoned with ccl4. a total of 60 (ross, 308) one-d-old broiler chicks were assigned into four treatments, using a completely randomized design. experimental treatments included: 1) control (received control diet), 2) artichoke (control diet supplemented with 3 percent artichoke ...

thyroid hormones regulate the metabolisms of all cells including hepatocytes, and hence, modulate hepatic function. hyperthyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders characterized by increased secretion of thyroid hormones t3 and/or t4. this study investigated frequency of abnormal liver function tests in the patients with hyperthyroidism that referred to imam reza hospital of kerma...

This pilot study was designed to establish the effect of long term alpha interferon treatment in haemophilia patients with chronic hepatitis C. Overall, three of eight (37.5%) patients showed a complete response, three of eight (37.5%) a transient response, and two of eight (25.0%) no response. HCV-RNA detection by polymerase chain reaction was more sensitive in detecting relapse than alanine a...

The aim of the present study was to investigate effect antihistamines(Chlorpheneramineand Fexofenadine) on (alkaline phosphatase, aspartate amino transpherase and alanine transferase) in tissue fertilized hens eggs embryos as indicator damage. injection hen's with antihistamines Fexofenadine at 12th day incubation doses (0,5,0,1mg/ egginto air sell)after 24 hour treatment induce significantly d...

Hepatoprotective activity of the chloroform extract of the shade dried aerial parts of Solanum trilobatum Linn. was studied in wister rats using the CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity. The activity was evaluated by using biochemical parameters such as serum aspartate amino transferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin and gamma glutamate transpeptidase...
