background & aim:cadmium is an important industrial and environmental pollutant. cadmium is one of the most toxic and carcinogenic heavy metals to organisms. this heavy metal mainly distributes to the liver and kidney in humans and animal and, causing acute hepatic injury. experimental: the ethanol extract of satureja hortensis l. (lamiaceae family), was evaluated for its activity against c...

It has been suggested that an increase in serum alanine transaminase (ALT) activity in blood donors may identify infection with non-A, non-B hepatitis. To facilitate identification of such donors, the reference range for ALT was measured on a Technicon SMAC 1 Analyser, using serum from 364 blood donors and 567 plasmapheresis donors. The distribution of ALT activities displayed a positive skewne...

Exposure to hepatitis C virus (HCV) and its effect on ALT levels was studied in 35 transfusion dependent cases of thalassaemia major. Twenty-one (60%) cases were anti HCV positive and also showed raised Alanine Transaminase (ALT) levels. Of 14 anti HCV negative, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBs Ag) negative seven showed raised ALT levels, indicating the chances of acute viraemia. Thus there is ...

The present study was aimed to investigate the impact of Chromium trioxide on biochemical parameters of freshwater fish, Channa punctatus exposed to sub lethal concentration for 7, 15, 30 and 60 days. Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Orthophosphoric Monoester Phospho-hydrolase (OMP) and Orthophosphoric acid Monoester Phospho-hydrolase (OAMP) activities have been analyse...

objective(s): bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) play an important role in bone health. cadmium causes osteoporosis, but the exact mechanisms of its effect on mscs are not known. materials and methods: rats were treated with cadmium chloride (40 mg/l) in drinking water for six weeks, and then the biochemical and morphological studies on mscs were carried out as a cellular backup for oste...
