conclusions based on our results, the administration of fe3o4-nps causes dose dependent adverse effects on liver. background because of their unique magnetic properties, fe3o4 nanoparticles (fe3o4-nps) have extensive applications in various biomedical aspects. investigation of the possible adverse aspects of these particles has lagged far behind their fast growing application. objectives the cu...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the leading causes chronic liver disease. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) a major complication associated with HCV infection, significant mortality and morbidity rates. This study aimed to measure biochemical parameters RNA levels for detection severity hepatitis virus- hepatocellular carcinoma. The was conducted on 100 patients, ages ranging from 36 68 years p...

‘The study of nutrition and the study of enzymes represent two sides of the same coin’ (Green, 1946). This statement is specially applicable in cases of nutritional oedema and kwashiorkor, both being states of protein malnutrition. Since enzymes are protein in nature it is to be expected that protein malnutrition will lead to a diminution in the quantity of enzymes. Acute starvation in rats pro...

1. The presence of blood serum has a decided inhibitory effect on autolysis. Thus in the normal unwashed organs the non-coagulable nitrogen increase was 100 to 300 per cent., while in the washed it amounted to 450 per cent. The washed necrotic livers showed an increase of from 600 to 850 per cent., while that of the unwashed necrotic was only slightly above the normal unwashed. 2. While the ini...

In all living tissues, protein constituents are continually being broken down within the body cells and protein decomposition products are excreted. If any or all of the processes of degradation occurring during life are the work of enzymes, we should expect to be able to demonstrate the existence of these enzymes in the tissues after death. The occurrence of such proteolytic enzymes was first ...

To the Editor: Growing evidence indicates that elevated levels of the liver enzymes γ-glutamyltransferase (GGt), aspartate transaminase (ASt), and alanine transaminase (ALt) are independently associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).1–4 GGt may also increase due to environmental pollution.1 Ambient particulate matter has been shown to induce oxidative stress and being link...
