introduction: herbal medicine and medical plants such as ziziphus vulgaris l. are widely used for treatment of diseases such as diabetes mellitus. in the present study, we have investigated effects of alcoholic extracts of z. vulgaris fruit on serum glucose, triglycerides, ldl, hdl and activities of aminotransferase enzymes in streptozocin (stz)- induced diabetic adult male rats. methods: herba...

This study investigated the hypolipidemic effects of curcumin, cinnamon, vitamin C and simvastatin in male rabbits. The effect these materials were assessed by following on body weight, lipid profile liver enzymes. includes total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low (LDL). activities enzymes include aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine (ALT) alkaline pho...

In the present study, changes of values of serum 17ß-estradiol (E2), Asparate amino teransferase (AST), Alanine amino transferase (ALT) and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) following intraperitoneal (i.p) injection with the aromatase inhibitor (AI) letrozole were investigated in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Forty- eight apparently healthy rainbow trout (mean weight of 845 g) divided...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a new phosphorothionate, the methyl ester of 2-butenoic acid-3-diethoxy phosphinothioyl (RPR-II) on membrane bound target enzymes aspartate amino transferase (ASAT), alanine amino transferase (ALAT) and RBC acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in different tissues of male and female albino wistar rats when treated orally with 0.014 (low), 0.028 (medi...

This study evaluated the effect of diesel petroleum intoxication in rats and the ability of phytochemicals and antioxidant content of Ocimum gratissimum to ameliorate such toxicity. Toxicity in rat was induced by administering 4 ml/kg body weight of diesel in the test rats except control. The intoxication and treatment with 20 % O. gratissimum supplemented diet was for 7 days. Serum liver funct...

A reusable enzyme strip for the determination of cholesterol was prepared by co-immobilizing cholesterol esterase (CEase), cholesterol oxidase (COD) and peroxidase (POD) onto alkylamine glass beads affixed on a plastic strip by a nonreactive fixative. The co-immobilized enzymes retained 71.42% of initial activity of free enzymes with a conjugation yield of 11.0 mg g beads and showed optimum act...

Silver-cobalt nanoparticles are used in medicine. In this study, the effects of silver-cobalt nanoparticles on functional tests and liver tissue changes in adult male rats were investigated. 28 adult male Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g were divided into 4 groups of 7. Control group, Experimental group1 received 25mg / kg of silver-cobalt nanoparticles (AgCo NPs) in which silver nanoparticle (Ag...
