Common bile duct (CBD) stones are generally associated with greater elevations of alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase levels than aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels. However, some patients with CBD stones show markedly increased aminotransferase levels, sometimes leading to the misdiagnosis of liver disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to ...

Background: Paraquat is nonselective bipyridyl herbicide that induces hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress. Vitamin C and chitosan have antioxidant as well as radical scavenger properties and show protective effects against reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present study, hepatoprotective effects of chitosan and vitamin C were evaluated in common carp exposed to paraquat. Methods: Whi...

Introduction: The effects of dietary nitrate on health are controversial. The current study aims to investigate the relationship between dietary intake of nitrate and liver enzymes among Iranian adolescent girls. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 733 adolescent girls. They were recruited from several schools in different areas in the cities of Mashhad and Sabze...

rats were treated with acetylsalicylic acid (150 mgikg b.w.per os daily) or naproxen (125 mg/kg b.w. per os daily) for six weeks. half of the rats received silymarin (17.5 mgikg b.w. per os daily) in the last three weeks of the experiment. it was found tliat administration of acetylsalicylic acid led to signs of hepatic damage (an increase in serum bilirubin level, alanine aminotransferase and ...

Background: Paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide, widely used to control weeds in agriculture farms and aquatic plants in surface waters. Paraquat can have adverse effects on the health of aquatic organisms. The aim of this study was to detect the alterations in the blood biochemical parameters of common carp exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of commercial formulations of paraquat. ...

Introduction: Cadmium chloride causes hepatic dysfunction. In the present study, the protective effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Alcea rosea aerial parts were investigated on the hepatic enzyme dysfunction induced by cadmium chloride in adult male rats. Method: In this experimental study, 54 adult male Wistar rats were divided into six groups of 9 as follows; control group, sham group 1 re...

The ameliorative activity of aqueous extract of the flesh of dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.) and ascorbic acid on thioacetamide-induced hepatotoxicity was studied in rats. Sixty male rats were divided into six equal groups of 10. Two groups were controls, one treated with thioacetamide and one with only distilled water. Two groups received extract of flesh Phoenix dactylifera and intraperitoneal...
