The activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase, total protein, albumin and cholesterol levels were determined in the blood serum of Japanese quails infected with coccidia and treated with Baycox (active ingredient: toltrazuril). Lower levels of AST and ALT activity were noted in treated birds regardless of the applied Baycox dose. The biochemical ...

High doses of acetaminophen (APAP) lead to acute liver damage. In this study, we evaluated the effects of citral in a murine model of hepatotoxicity induced by APAP. The liver function markers alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (γGT) were determined to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of citral. The l...

  Objective(s): The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of Chloramphenicol (CAP) on rat liver and small intestine. Effect of phenobarbital (PB) on CAP toxicity was also investigated.   Materials and Methods:   Rats were received CAP at doses of 0, 200, 400 and 600 mg/kg. Another group was pretreated with 80 mg/kg PB 30 min prior to administration of various doses...

in the present study, we examined the antioxidative activities of satureja khuzestanica essential oil (ske) and possible protective effect of ske on lipid profile, atherogenic index and liver enzyme markers in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. thirty male rats were randomly divided into three groups; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, and group three treatments with ske b...

the present study was conducted to investigate the clinical effects and possible side effects of yarrow extract ( achillea millefolium l.) as feed additive on biochemical blood parameters and growth performance of rainbow trout ( oncorhynchus mykiss ). fishes were treated with 0 (control), 0.1, 0.5 and 1% of yarrow extract for 30 days. plasma alanine aminotransferase (alt), aspartate aminotrans...

previous studies indicated that endurance exercise decreases levels of liver enzymes. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of endurance exercise on liver enzymes in eight weeks in iranian women who are stopping the drug with methadone. sixty iranian women prisoners including 30 cases as experimental group and 30 volunteers served as control. the mean age, height, weight, percent of...

objective(s): nanosilver is one of the most widely used nanomaterials due to its strong antimicrobial activity. thus, because of increasing potential for exposure of human to nanosilver, there is an increasing concern about possible side effects of these nanoparticles. in this study, we tested the potential dermal toxicity of nanosilver bandage on serum chemical biomarkers in mice.  materials a...

aim : in the current study, we aimed at identifying independent laboratory parameter to predict liver damage. background : although liver biopsy is frequently recommended in assessing disease severity and selecting antiviral treatment candidates, it has several limitations. patients and methods : a total of 527 patients with untreated chronic hepatitis b virus infection were selected. a percuta...
