The relationship of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels in bile with liver SOD and GSH-Px activity in selenium (Se)-deficient rats is discussed. Normal rats and 7 groups of rats fed a Se-deficient diet with different feeding periods were examined. H2O2 levels in bile were measured using the spin-trapping method with electron spin resonance (ESR). Bile H2O2 levels in the initial stage (20-60 min fro...

AIM OF THE STUDY Studying the correlation between elements of metabolic syndrome and histological changes of the liver in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-nine patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were included in our study. Inclusion criteria were: presence of liver steatosis on ultrasound in patients with waist circumference over 94 cm in men and over ...

Objective(s):   Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZNP) are increasingly used in sunscreens, biosensors, food additives and pigments. In this study the effects of ZNP on liver of rats was investigated.     Materials and Methods: Experimental groups received 5, 50 and 300 mg/kg ZNP respectively for 14 days. Control group received only distilled water. ALT, AST and ALP were considered as biomarkers to ind...

ALA-D activity and lead concentrations were measured in blood and liver tissues of the fish Prochilodus lineatus, collected from three locations along the coast of the La Plata River, Argentina. Two of them, Berazategui and Berisso, were located nearby the main ducts that discharge the urban and domestic waste disposal from Buenos Aires and La Plata cities, respectively, while the third station...

Abstract The objective of this research was to evaluate a nutritional strategy based on the consumption fucoidan extract from brown algae Lessonia trabeculata control oxidative stress in experimental alloxan-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus rats. Over 30 days, 75, 100, and 125 mg kg −1 body weight doses were administered both positive negative (n = 5 per group). Serum, liver, pancrea...

aim : the aim of this study was to review cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) cases and to determine the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as a cause of elevated alanine aminotransferase (alt) in healthy blood donors in the permian area and also assess risk factors of nafld such as body mass index (bmi) and correlation with metabolic syndrome in these subjects. back...

Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) increases the level of HIF-1alpha (hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha) and its target gene VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) which is involved in angiogenesis. Liver regeneration is an angiogenesis-dependent process. We hypothesized that HIF-1alpha and VEGF mediated the angiogenesis effect of HBO-PC on regenerating rat liver. Male Sprague Dawley r...
