introduction: complications of obesity and high fat in children are grave now and future. the aim of this research is comparing percentage of body fat in active and inactive girls using anthropometric parameters.materials and methods: this research is descriptive- correlation that 144 active(n= 70) and inactive(n= 74) girls aged 8 to 10 years old were selected by random cluster sampling method ...

conclusions: prevalence of fatty liver is high in our obese children. it was associated with criteria of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, so visceral fat may participate in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome or merely serve as a marker of increased risk for the metabolic complications of obesity. patients and methods: 102 obese iranian children, referred to pediatric clinics f...

The present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of heptoplus a polyherbal formulation as an oral supplementary agent for isoniazid and rifampicin induced hepatotoxicity in rats. 50 and 100 mg/kg of heptoplus supplement were fed orally to the rats along with isoniazid and rifampicin and compared to rats treated with 100 mg/kg Liv 52 standard drug. Rats treated with isoniazid and rifampici...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of acute intoxication with chlorfenvinphos on the liver reduced glutathione (GSH) level and the activities of two enzymes involved in glutathione metabolism, as well as the activity of catalase (CAT), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and the level of liver hydrogen peroxide. The concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) was determined as l...

Chronic hepatitis is a relatively common problem; worldwide, an estimated 350 million individuals are chronically infected with hepatitis B (HBV), 170 million are chronically infected with hepatitis C (HCV), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is predicted to reach epidemic proportions with the rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Chronic hepatitis causes rela...

the present research designed to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (meja), salicylic acid (sa) and potassium sulfate on improving fruit quality and photosynthesis system. ten treatments include: sa (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 mm), meja (0.5, 1 and 2 mm), potassium sulfate (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) and distilled water (control) were sprayed on pomegranate trees 2 and 7 weeks after ful...

  Background and Objectives: Acrylamide is a monomer which is formed in foodstuffs containing carbohydrates altered to asparagine during thermal processing. Vitamin E is a component in human diet considered as the most effective lipid-soluble antioxidant found in the biological system. It prevents initiation of oxidative tissue...

Beta-oxidation is the most important pathway to provide energy for the liver. Our recent findings indicated that radiolabeled medium chain fatty acid analogs could be used as radiopharmaceuticals in the liver, allowing us to monitor alterations in energy metabolism on the cellular level. In the present study, pharmacokinetical analysis of a radioiodinated medium chain fatty acid analog, 6-[123I...

INTRODUCTION Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare cause of interstitial lung disease characterized by formation of nodules in the active phase of the disease that evolve into nonactive cystic lesions later on. To evaluate PLCH activity in patients, we developed a new method for measuring diffuse metabolic activity on fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomograph...
