this study investigated the effects of coenzyme q10 (coq10) supplementation on hematological, enzymes activities and biochemical parameters in broilers with pulmonary hypertension syndrome (phs).two hundred and forty 1-d-old ross 308 male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 3 groups with 4 replicates. from d 14, the diets were supplemented with coq10 at levels of 0, 20 and 40 mg/kg, res...

introduction: silymarine extract is currently prescribed by some physicians for treatment of fatty liver disease. in the present study, the effect of administration of tablet containing silymarine extract on plasma homocysteine (hcy), folate, vitamin b12 and liver enzymes activity in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (nash) was investigated. materials and methods: seventy-four patients (40 female a...

Elevated enzyme activities in plasma may at times be attributed to the presence of macro-enzymes. The macro-enzymes are often serum enzymes in complex with immunoglobulins, resulting in a greater molecular mass that cannot be filtered by renal glomeruli and are, hence, retained in the plasma. The aspartate aminotransferase (AST) can exist as a macro-enzyme, although it has been rarely reported....

background: reactive oxygen species (ros)-induced lipidperoxidation can lead to dysfunction of sperm and thereby, infertility may be occurred. so, always there is a balance between amount of ros and anti-oxidant molecules in semen. anti-oxidant enzymes of sperm; superoxide dismutase (sod), glutathione peroxidase (gpx), catalse and zinc and selenium can protect it from destructive effects of ros...

The number of patients with end-stage renal disease is growing rapidly in Asia. Patients with end stage renal disease failure (ESRD) undergoing long term hemodialysis (HD) are at risk for high oxidative stress. There is paucity of information with regard to oxidative stress during HD. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate catalase enzyme activity in erythrocytes and the total ...

in the present study we aimed to evaluate the effects of methanolic extracts of the bulbs of garlic (allium sativum l., alliaceae) and persian shallot (allium ascalonicum l., alliaceae ) and leaves of sage (salvia officinalis l., lamiaceae ), ase, aae and soe respectively, on the antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (sod), glutathione peroxidase (gpx) and catalase (cat) activities an...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the possible protective effect of sodium selenite on serum, liver, and kidney antioxidant enzymes activities in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. methods: forty sprague-dawley male rats were randomly divided into four groups; group one as control, group two as sham-treated with sodium selenite by 1 mg/kg intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections dai...
