objective: liver is an important organ that is exposed to many oxidant and carcinogenic agents, thus antioxidant compounds are beneficial for liver health. artemisia contains flavonoid compounds and anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. due to possessing terpene and sesquiterpene compounds, this plant has antioxidant properties. this study was done to investigate the eff...

chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate pesticide, is widely used to control pests in agriculture farms and orchards of fruit trees. in this study, the fish were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos which were determined based on numerical value of 96 h lc 50 . blood was sampled after 10, 20 and 30 days and biochemical parameters including glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, tri...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: there have been few studies to examine the effect of magnesium (mg) supplementation on liver enzymes. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mg supplementation and weight loss on liver enzymes, lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld). materials and methods: this study ...

Hepatomegaly is a common finding in primary myelofibrosis (PMF), mostly due to extramedullary hematopoiesis, as demonstrated by liver biopsies in previous studies, and high serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is usually the most frequent associated biochemical abnormality. In the current study, we examined the clinical, prognostic and molecular correlates of increased ALP and aspartate aminotransf...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases resulting from impaired insulin secretion and/or action. DM is characterized by hyperglycemia that can lead to the dysfunction or damage of organs, including the salivary glands.The aim of this study was to compare the levels of salivary lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in di...

The study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of liver function enzymes in patients with choledocholithiasis. The retrospective study included 120 choledocholithiasis patients (experimental group), 110 cholecystolithiasis patients (control group) and 60 healthy subjects (healthy group) from January 2013 to December 2014. Blood sample was extracted from each participant, and biochemical te...

My task at this symposium was to discuss the three B-vitamins, thiamin, riboflavin and pyridoxine and the respective red cell enzymes transketolase (TK; sedoheptulose-7-phosphate: ~-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate glycolaldehyde transferase; EC 2.2.1.1), glutathione reductase (GR; NADPH,: glutathione oxidoreductase; EC 1.6.4.2) and either aspartate aminotransferase (AST; L-aspartate: 2oxoglutarate a...

Background. Early identification of high risk subjects for cardiovascular disease in health check-up is still unmet medical need. Cardiovascular disease is characterized by the superior increase in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to alanine aminotransferase (ALT). However, the association of AST/ALT ratio with brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and cardiovascular mortality remains unclear ...

Abnormal liver function tests are not uncommon encounter in diabetes mellitus patients. The aim of this study was to find out the liver function test abnormalit ies in a group of d iabetic patients in Myanmar and to determine the factors associated with these biochemical changes. In this cross sectional study conducted at the diabetic clinic of Yangon General Hospital, Myanmar between March 200...
