The changes in some hydrolytic enzymes in carbon tetrachloride-induced fatty livers

Biochemical changes in carbon tetrachloride fatty liver: separation of fatty changes from mitochondrial degeneration.

In 1954 Christie and Judah (3) in a study of the mechanism of action of carbon tetrachloride advanced the view that the primary locus of action of this hepatotoxin was the membranes of the liver mitochondria. Dianzani (4-6) showed that after carbon tetrachloride or phosphorus poisoning or after a choline deficient diet, there was evidence for uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, loss of mit...

Serum lipoproteins in rats with carbon tetrachloride-induced fatty liver.

After the administration of ccl4 to male rats, liver triglycerides began to increase after a lag period of about 1 hr; the level of serum triglycerides fell sharply during the first 30 min of intoxication. Three classes of serum lipoproteins were isolated by flotation in the ultracentrifuge and their concentrations and chemical compositions were determined. Within 4 hr of the administration of ...

Changes in the Plasma Level of Some Hydrolytic Enzymes during the Resorption of Strogen-induced Medullary Bone in Cocks

The biochemical mechanisms by which bone is resorbed are not fully understood. It is generally assumed, however, that the mineral matter is removed under the influence of locally-produced acids and that the organic matter is solubilized by enzymic mechanisms. Acid hydrolases of lysosomal origin have been implicated in the process of bone resorption in organ culture (V AES , 19 65), and it was c...

Changes in the activities of urea-cycle enzymes after the administration of carbon tetrachloride.

The Effect of Purslane Seeds on Fasting Blood Glucose and Serum Liver Enzymes in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Livers

Objective: Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of liver disease in the world and it is one of the liver transplantation causes. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Purslane seeds on anthropometric parameters, fasting blood glucose (FBS), and liver enzymes in patients with nonalcoholic fatty livers. Materials and Methods: in this clinical trial, 5...
