Objectives: Diabetes mellitus is associated with biochemical, physiological and pathological alterations in the liver. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindle (P.f) on changes in rats´ liver structure and serum activities of alanin and aspartate aminotransferases after alloxan injection. Materials and Methods: In this stud...

three residues seems to be common to all the serine enzymes and has become known as the ‘charge-relay system’. Its function is to transfer a negative (or partial negative) charge from the aspartic acid residue to the oxygen atom of the hydroxy group of serine. This obviously increases the nucleophilicity of the serine, but the important point is that the charge is developed in the absence of bu...

In the chloroplasts and in non-green plastids of plants, aspartate is the precursor for the biosynthesis of different amino acids and derived metabolites that play distinct and important roles in plant growth, reproduction, development or defence. Aspartate biosynthesis is mediated by the enzyme aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), which catalyses the reversible transamination between gluta...

background: although several observational and experimental studies have examined the effects of low carbohydrate diets (lcds) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), there are considerable inconsistencies among studies. we summarized the effect of lcds on liver function tests, including intrahepatic lipid content (ihlc), alanine transaminase (alt), aspartate aminotransferases (ast),and ga...

conclusions it seems that hp eradication per se might not affect lfc, lft, lipid profile, and insulin resistance in dyspeptic nafld patients. results one hundred (49 males) patients with the mean age of 43.46 (± 11.52) were studied. repeated measure anova showed a significant reduction in lfc, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory parameters (except for hdl) in the both groups during the ...

Interaction of cytosolic apo-aspartate aminotransferase with AMP has been studied under equilibrium conditions; e.g., equilibrium dialysis and spectrophotometric titration. Results show that a 1:1 stoichiometric complex AMP-apo-aspartate aminotransferase monomer is formed. The calculated dissociation constants with the two different experimental techniques are 40.4 x 10(-6) M-1 and 31.4 x 10(-6...

conclusions based on our results, the administration of fe3o4-nps causes dose dependent adverse effects on liver. background because of their unique magnetic properties, fe3o4 nanoparticles (fe3o4-nps) have extensive applications in various biomedical aspects. investigation of the possible adverse aspects of these particles has lagged far behind their fast growing application. objectives the cu...

This study aims to explore the ameliorative effects of L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) toxicity in male rats. Changes activities alanine and aspartate aminotransferases (ALAT, ASAT) were studied tissues blood Concentrations creatinine, triacylglycerol cholesterol also determined experimental animals. Intraperitoneal administration CCl4 rats led changes animals parame...
