Insight of evidence that some complications of diabetes mellitus due to hyperglycemia, we investigated the effect of T. arjuna bark extract on serum, liver and kidney marker enzymes in alloxan - induced diabetic rats. T. arjuna was administered orally at a doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight for 30 days, after which serum liver and kidney tissues were assayed for the degree of pathological c...

the aim of the present study was determination of reference values of blood serum enzymes of huso huso. descriptive study. 18 male and 18 female huso huso was studied. blood samples were obtained from caudal vein of 18 males and 18 females and the levels of enzymes were measured by an autoanalyzer. parametric t- test and pearson correlation test. results of measurements for total samples are as...

This study was designed in order to estimate the effect of alloxan induced diabetes mellitus on adiponectin hormone concentration and some immunological biochemical parameters male domestic rabbits. The involved (20) blood samples were divided into 4 groups : group one: adult normal healthy rabbits as control group, two: with mellitus, three: treated alpha lipoic acid (100 mg/kg), four: L-carni...

background: among most of the hepatic diseases, elevation of alanine amino transferase (alt) level is the hallmark of hepatocyte necrosis. but, no study has been performed in this field in iran. materials and methods: this study is designed to compare the grade, stage, and histological activity index (hai score) of liver pathology between patients with normal serum alt and elevated serum alt. i...

A kinetic assay for alanine transferase (ALT) using microtitre plates and commercially available reagents was developed to retain the advantages conferred by multichannel and semiautomated equipment. The time taken to assay 92 samples was less than 10 minutes, and costs of apparatus and reagents compared favourably with most current methods. Although reactions became non-linear above 120 IU/l-1...

Introduction: Infectious bronchitis (IB), caused by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), is an acute and highly contagious disease in chickens. IBV is mainly considered a respiratory infection, other clinical manifestations, including renal, enteric and reproductive signs can be observed. Aim: Since there has been no study on evaluation of changes in biochemical parameters during IB infection, th...

Background: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of silybum marianum seeds (SMSs) on blood biochemical profile of broiler chickens contaminated with Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1).  Methods: Combinations of three levels of AFB1 (0, 250 and 500 ppb) with three levels of SMSs (0, 0.5, and 1.0 %) were incorporated into the basal diet (corn and soybean meal). The effect of nine experimental treatments was...
