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...

Medicinal plants play a key role in human health care. Pterocarpus marsupium is one of the plants used in treatment of diabetes mellitus and the present study was aimed to assess hepatoprotective effect of the plant against CCl(4) induced hepatotoxicity. Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups. Group I was normal control group; Group II, the hepatotoxic group was given CCl(4) (2ml/kg b...

Magnesium aspartate, potassium aspartate, magnesium potassium aspartate, calcium aspartate, zinc aspartate, and copper aspartate as.Two aspartate aminotransferase EC 2. transfer of an amino group from aspartate to 2-oxoglutarate in order to form.Aspartate Aminotransferase AST in Refrigerated Serum NHANES 2001-2002. The AST catalyzes the reversible transamination of L-aspartate and. Abstract: Th...

the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (ast) in human serum has been widely determined as a diagnostic aid in liver disease. in this study, the effect of aluminium on ast isoenzymes in relation to aluminium intoxified patients has been investigated. using gel filtration chromatography technique with sephacryl s-300, mitochondrial aminotransferase (m-ast) and cytosolic aminotransferase (c-as...

In present study, the effect of alcoholic extract of Momordica charantia, Aegle marmelos and Eugenia jambolana was studied on serum glutamic oxaloacetate transminase and serum glutamic pyruvate transminase activities and on serum urea, total protein and albumin concentrations of streptozotocin diabetic rats. Diabetes in rats was induced by single dose of streptozotocin (30 mg/kg i. p.). On conf...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Many hepatoprotective herbal preparations have been recommended in alternative systems of medicine for the treatment of hepatic disorders. No systematic study has been done on protective efficacy of Solanum trilobatum to treat hepatic diseases. Protective action of Solanum trilobatum extract (STE) was evaluated by us in an animal model of hepatotoxicity induced by carbon...

objective(s): silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) are one of the most widely used nanomaterials recently. despite the wide application of nanomaterials, there is limited information concerning their impact on human health and the environment. this study aimed to find the effects of ag-nps (40 nm) on blood serum, liver and kidney tissues of homing pigeons (columbia livia).materials and methods: columb...

Macro-aspartate transaminase (macro-AST) must be considered when the aspartate transaminase (AST) level is chronically high without any liver, cardiac, or muscle disease. Many specialized laboratory techniques have been recommended for diagnosing macro-AST, including the polyethylene glycol immune precipitate technique, which is simple. This study presents a considerably easier method based on ...
