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...

conclusions considering the significant decrease in the liver enzymes, triglycerides and cholesterol after using berberis vulgaris extract, further studies with larger sample sizes will identify the accurate dose as well as duration of consumption for this extract, to recommend in the treatment of patients with nafld. results in the case group, the mean serum levels of alanine transaminase (alt...

objectives: hyperlipidemia can cause a variety of diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and fatty liver which is followed by increased liver enzymes. since berberis vulgaris (b. vulgaris) root possesses antioxidant properties, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect ofits extract on the activity of liver enzymes in rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study,...

The serum levels of the mitochondrial enzymes), aspartate transatninase II, malate dehydrogenase II and glutamate dehydrogenase were studied in 82 cases of acute hepatitis. The activity ratio alanine transaminase/glutamate dehydrogenase and the C/M-ratios of aspartate transaminase and malate dehydrogenase were also studied. The serum levels of the mitochondrial en2ymes glutamate dehydrogenase, ...

BACKGROUND Severe anoxic brain injury can lead to prolonged episodes of status dystonicus. Sustained dystonia can result in skeletal muscle breakdown and elevation of serum transaminases, which can initially be confused with polypharmacy-related hepatotoxicity or an underlying metabolic condition. PATIENT We present a 19-month-old boy who sustained a severe anoxic brain injury in the setting ...

Difluoro-oxaloacetate interacts with the aldimine form of aspartate transaminase to give a complex, the dissociation constant ofwhich has been determined spectrophotometrically and by 19F n.m.r. (nuclear magnetic resonance). The 19F n.m.r. line-width-pH and chemical-shift-pH profiles of difluoro-oxaloacetate in the presence of the aldimine form of the enzyme both show inflexion points in the pH...
