چکیده

The metabolic effects of intraperitoneal administration of carbon tetrachloride (1ml/kg) were studied in starved rats. The most notable change in circulating substrates was an 80% fall in ketone-body concentrations, which was associated with the doubling of urinary nitrogen losses. The results demonstrate the importance of starvation ketosis in permitting fat mobilization to decrease effectively protein losses during starvation.

Increase of urinary ketone body excretion in selenium-deficient rats is a ketone-specific change.

The effects of selenium (Se) deficiency on urinary ketone body excretion in starved rats were examined. Rats were fed a basal diet which was Se-deficient (Se content: 0.011 micrograms/g) or a Se-adequate diet (the basal diet supplemented with 0.1 micrograms Se/g as sodium selenite). On the 11th and 22nd week of the feeding period, Se-deficient status in rats fed the basal diet was verified by t...

Preventive effects of Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindle on liver damage of diabetic rats induced by alloxan

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...

Influence of Ethanol on the Liver Metabolism of Fed and Starved Rats.

1. The influence of ethanol on the metabolism of livers from fed and starved rats has been studied in liver-perfusion experiments. Results have been obtained on oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, on glucose release and uptake by the liver and on changes in the concentrations of lactate and pyruvate and of beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate in the perfusion medium. 2. Oxygen co...

Tissue concentrations of free hexosamines and N-acetylhexosamines in rat liver

seen with noradrenaline, whereas dopamine had no effect. In all experiments endogenous ketone-body production was unchanged. We have therefore shown a small effect with adrenaline at supraphysiological concentrations on hepatic ketone-body production in both fed and 48h-starved rats. No real effect of noradrenaline or dopamine could be demonstrated, although only a small number of preparations ...

Liver and Kidney Functional Indices of Pregnant Rats Following the Administration of the Crude Alkaloids from Senna alata (Linn. Roxb) Leaves

ABSTRACT Background: Alkaloids from Senna alata leaves implicated as the active constituents of abortifacient are yet to be investigated for their effects on the normal functioning of the maternal liver and kidney. Therefore, the effects of crude alkaloids on some biochemical indices of kidney and liver damage were investigated in pregnant rats. Methods: Pregnant rats were randomized into...
