The present study appraised the hepatoprotective activity of aqueous extract of Camellia sinensis leaves and its possible mechanism of action against carbon-tetrachloride-induced liver damage. Liver damage was induced by   intraperitoneal administration of equal mixture of carbon tetrachloride   and olive oil (50 % v/v, 0.5 ml/kg ) in male Wistar rats (150-220g) once daily for...

NH2-terminal amino acid sequence obtained from a UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyl-transferase (GalNAc-transferase) isolated from bovine colostrum was used for the construction of synthetic oligonucleotide primers. Subsequent polymerase chain reaction and library screenings of a bovine intestine cDNA library produced seven positive clones. The largest clone had a 2294-base pair inse...

Significance We report an intersubunit interaction within the coronavirus replication–transcription complex that is critical for replication and evolutionarily conserved. provide evidence nsp12-associated NiRAN domain has nucleoside monophosphate (NMP) transferase activity in trans identified nsp9, RNA-binding protein, as its target. catalyzes covalent attachment of NMP moiety to conserved nsp9...

Background: The use of devices emitted microwave radiation such as mobile phones, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) routers, etc. is increased rapidly. It has caused a great concern; the researchers should identify its effects on people’s health. We evaluated the protective role of Vitamin C on the metabolic and enzymatic activities of the liver after exposure to Wi-Fi routers.Material and Methods: 7...

cutaneous lesions of fish from viral, bacterial, parasitic and chemical and mechanical factors are common. the rapid progress of infection and the mortality of fish need more attention. allium hirtiofolium is a native plant in iran which contains saponins, it has a role in inhibiting and killing cancer cells with anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-virus effects. in this...

Background & Aim: Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) is one of the most popular medicinal plants used in traditional medicine with antibacterial and antioxidant properties. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of marshmallow extract (Althaea officinalis L.) administration on blood cells and biochemical parameters of carp liver. Experimental: 150 carp (weighing 37.6...

conclusions this study demonstrated that rt and at are equally effective in reducing hepatic fat content and liver enzyme levels among patients with nafld. however, aerobic exercise specifically improves nafld independent of any change in body weight. results after training, hepatic fat content was markedly reduced, to a similar extent, in both the aerobic and resistance exercise training group...
