Increased serum concentrations of several intracellular enzymes have been reported to be useful in establishing the diagnosis and prognosis of hepatopathies in the horse. These include alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), arginase, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyltranferase (γGT), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), iditol dehydrogenase (IDH) and lactate dehydr...

Background: Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is one of the main proteins of HBV envelop and its serum quantitative measurement is the most common quantitative test for monitoring the progress of Chronic Hepatitis B. Although measurement of serum HBV DNA copy number is a gold standard method for displaying viral load, the test is relatively expensive and it is not readily available everywhere...

The present trial was conducted to investigate the effect of inclusion dried periphyton in Nile tilapia diets on growth, digestive enzymes activity, haematological, oxidative stress and intestinal morphometric parameters. Five isoproteic (32%), isolipidic (5%) experimental were formulated, comprise graded levels (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 10 g kg−1 diet). At end feeding trial, highest (P < 0.05) performan...

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...

Little is known about the protective effects of carvacrol on the symptoms of streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats. Hence, this present study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of the strong antioxidant, carvacrol, on the symptoms of streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats. Carvacrol at the doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg body weight were orally administered to diabetic rats for a period...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of Urtica dioica on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS Thirty adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups: sham group (group 1), control group (group 2), and Urtica dioica group (group 3). All the rats were exposed to hepatic ischemia for 60 min, followed by 60 min of reperfusion. In group 2, a total of 2 ml/kg 0.9% saline solution...
