conclusions considering the significant decrease in the liver enzymes, triglycerides and cholesterol after using berberis vulgaris extract, further studies with larger sample sizes will identify the accurate dose as well as duration of consumption for this extract, to recommend in the treatment of patients with nafld. results in the case group, the mean serum levels of alanine transaminase (alt...

We have tested rat liver fructose-bisphosphatase (D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate 1-phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.11) and three other gluconeogenic fructose-bisphosphatases as substrates for the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. In contrast to the rat liver enzyme, homogeneous preparations of mouse liver, rabbit liver, and pig kidney fructose-bisphosphatase could not be phospho...

conclusions the results suggest that physical activity improves metabolic parameters, which interfere in the development of fatty liver and has a protective role against the development of nafld. results statistical analysis demonstrated that the training group had significant changes in weight, bmi, tc, tg, ldl, vldl, hdl/ldl, tc/ hdl, ast and alt, whereas there was no significant change in hd...

In autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), progressive enlargement of fluid-filled cysts is due to aberrant proliferation of tubule epithelial cells and transepithelial fluid secretion leading to extensive nephron loss and interstitial fibrosis. Congenital hepatic fibrosis associated with biliary cysts/dilatations is the most common extrarenal manifestation in ARPKD and can lead ...

The effects of continuous administration of cortisone on the metabolism of regenerating rat liver have been studied. Whereas the restoration of the weight of the liver after partial hepatectomy was not markedly affected by cortisone, the multiplication of cells was reduced to a significant degree after the first 2 days of regeneration. Liver restoration in terms of nucleic acids was similarly i...

1. The physiological response of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) reared on different levels of available carbohydrate in practical trout diets having the same levels of energy and nitrogen for 16-24 weeks was determined. 2. Weight gain was significantly reduced in trout reared on the highest level of available carbohydrate, 210 g cerelose (alpha-glucose) kg, and there was a significant linear r...

background: massularia acuminata has been claimed to be used in managing several ailments in folk medicine and in some instances substantiated with scientific data. this however has been without recourse to its safety. therefore, aqueous stem extract of m. acuminata was evaluated for its effects on some function indices of the liver of male rats. methods: sixty, male rats were grouped into 4 (a...

The effects of phénobarbital(PB) and other liver monooxygenase modifiers on dimethylnitrosamine (DMN)-induced alkylation of rat liver DNA and protein were investigated at different carcin ogen doses. In rats given single injections of radioactively labeled DMN, pretreatment with PB (80 mg/kg body weight, adminis tered for 5 days) resulted in a small but significant decrease in the formation of...

conclusions aed improved liver enzymes in obese women. however, mild, transient increases in alt and ast values can be observed immediately after an nfd in women. results of 108 participants, 50 women in aed group and 50 women in nfd group completed the protocol of the study (response rate: 92.6 %). the aed led to a median weight loss of 3.79 kg (interquartile range: 4.4 kg). significant decrea...

Mebendazole was given to two patients with multiple hydatidosis of the liver and three patients with multiple hydatidosis of the lungs. They could not be treated surgically because of aduanced diseases. So they wer given a daily dose of 25-40 mg/kg body weight for 9-12 months. Definite clinical result in one patient and some clinical improvements in the size of the liver and clearance of the lu...
