tramadol is a synthetic, centrally acting opioid analgesic that has the best analgesic efficacy without excessive sedation and significant side effects in the postoperative pain relief in dogs. objectives: in this study, hematological and biochemical changes due to short usage of tramadol were assessed in clinically healthy dogs. methods: for this purpose, eighteen male mongrel dogs aged 14 to ...

BACKGROUND To determine the best cutoff values of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine amino-transferase (ALT) in detecting viral hepatitis C infection among patients of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). METHODS 90 (44 male and 46 female) CAPD patients and 526 adult controls (266 male, 260 female) were enrolled. Serum AST and ALT were measured by an auto-analyser month...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG), administered to rats (by gavage) at a dose of 0.6 mg/g body weight for 10 days, significantly (P<0.05) induced lipid peroxidation (LPO), decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) level and increased the activities of glutathione-s-transferase (GST), catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the liver of the animals; these were observed 24 hr after 10 days of administratio...

To assess the effect of prolonged administration of midazolam or isoflurane on hepatocellular integrity, we measured the concentrations of glutathione transferase (EC 2.5.1.18) B1 subunit and the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT; EC 2.6.1.2) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST; EC 2.6.1.1) in 40 patients who required long-term sedation with low-dose midazolam or isoflurane. Blood sam...

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease caused by feline coronaviruses. The causative agent Virus, mutation of Enteric Coronavirus. Corona Virus very common in the cat population. In infected cats, development FIP depends on cat's immune response. more young and old cats because animals have weaker system. acute phase response complex systemic reaction that occurs as to or chroni...

Scoparia dulcis L. is widely used in the traditional system of medicine for treating liver ailments. In present study flavonoids and flavonoid fractions isolated from 9:1 Ethyl acetate methanol (EAM) extract were tested their vitro 1, 1- Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Selected samples assay further hepatoprotective activity against CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity fres...
