The hepatoprotective activity of crude aqueous extract of Zingiber officinale leaves (ZOL), Zingiberacae, was evaluated, using CCl4 induced hepatic damage in male Wistar albino rats. Various biochemical parameters like serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) and total bilirubin were studied. The aqueous ZOL extract afforded significant protec...

Researchers have connected the antioxidants in virgin coconut oil (VCO) to growing health benefits; however, little is known about hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties of VCO against oxidative stress liver damage brought on by smoking cigarettes. The research examined damage. Male Wistar rats were split into 4 groups: Group 1 (the control group) was fed rat pellets; 2 positive basic diet...

Hyperglycemia in Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces oxidative stress and mitochondrial disruptions the liver, thereby triggering apoptosis through Bcl-2 family signaling. Excessive leads to liver dysfunction. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) was elucidated this study preventing dysfunction as a progression of DM. The diabetic model conducted Wistar rats, divided into six groups. Blood examinations were done ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the hepatoprotective and immunotherapeutic effects of aqueous extract of turmeric rhizome in CCl4 intoxicated Swiss albino mice. METHODS First group of mice (n=5) received CCl4 treatment at a dose of 0.5 mL/kg bw (i.p.) for 7 days. Second group was fed orally the aqueous extract of turmeric at a dose of 50 mg/kg bw for 15 days. The third group was given both the turmeric...

We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the clinical factors associated with mortality in patients with dengue viral infection at a tertiary care center over a 3 year period. Six hundred ninety-nine patients with a clinical diagnosis of dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) during the study period were included in the study. Data were coll...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes is an endocrine disorder that affects a large percentage of patients. High blood glucose causes fatty deposits in the liver which is likely to increase in SGOT and SGPT activities. Significant increase in SGOT/SGPT and low HDL levels is observed in patients with diabetes. Serum fructosamine concentration reflects the degree of blood glucose control in diabetic patient...

INTRODUCTION:Vector borne viral infections endangers billions of people and World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated about 50 million cases of dengue infection every year worldwide.This disease caused by dengue ranges from a relatively minor febrile illness to a life threatening condition characterized by extensive capillary leak. AIM: The present study aimed to prevent the complications a...

Demam tifoid adalah penyakit sistemik akut yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Salmonella typhi. typhi terdapat di usus halus akan berkembang biak kemudian menghasilkan endotoksin, mana endotoksin dihasilkan merupakan kompleks lipopolisakarida dan dianggap berperan penting pada patogenesis demam tifoid. Apabila masuk ke dalam tubuh menyebabkan kondisi menjadi lemah, sehingga memudahkan menyerang jarin...

Abstract The effect of consistent exposure of the inhabitants in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria to crude oil may induce undesirable biochemical changes in the biota. Alterations in some hepatic function indices of male and female albino rats exposed to Bonny light crude oil (BLCO) by skin application were investigated. Sub lethal dose (500mg/kg body weight) of the BLCO was applied to shaved ...

Background: Little information is available on the trend in cardiovascular risk factors and hepatic enzymes in Iranian seafarers. The present study aimed to assess the pattern of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, elevated serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), and serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) in Iranian seafarers during 2010 to 2014. Methods: Data on cardiovascular r...
