Background and Objective: Wheras renal ischemic-reperfusion injury increases lipid peroxidation level in the liver tissues, it decreases the antioxidant activity and antioxidant enzymes. Olive leaves are considered as significant sources of bioactive phenolic compounds with superior antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory and radical scavenging. Materials and Methods: In this study 50 male r...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of aluminum on the tissue enzymes of gills, liver and muscles in common carp. In this study, the effects of sub lethal levels of aluminum on metabolic enzymes, Aspartate aminotransferase, Alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase (AST, ALT and ALP) in organs including gills, liver and muscles of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were eva...

Background & Aim: Barberry has various antioxidant compounds and hypolipidemic properties. This study was carried out to compare the effect of Barberry's aqueous extract and Lovastatin on reduction of liver indices enzymes level in hyperlipidemic mice serum treated with high fat diet. Methods: In this study, 60 male mice were divided randomly into 4 groups. Control group was not feed. Negati...

Background and Objectives: Citrulline (cit.) is a non-essential amino acid derived from watermelon, which affects improving glucose tolerance and lipid and energy metabolisms. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of citrulline supplementation on non-alcoholic fatty liver.  Materials & Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 50 patients with NAFLD were randomly assigned to recei...
