BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Malachite green (MG), an environmentally hazardous material, is used as a non permitted food colouring agent, especially in India. Selenium (Se) is an essential nutritional trace element required for animals and humans to guard against oxidative stress induced by xenobiotic compounds of diverse nature. In the present study, the role of the selenium compound diphenylmethy...

Background: Breast cancer is an epithelial malignancy of the breast duct, which chemotherapy one treatment modalities. Hepatotoxicity known as side effects chemotherapy. Multiflora honey provides hepatoprotective through its phenolic acid and flavonoid compounds. This study will evaluate effect Honey in preventing hepatotoxicity ductal invasive patients receiving FAC chemotherapy.Methods: An ex...

Background: A majority of people widely use acetaminophen as a sedative. Overusing the drug for prolonged periods of time can lead to acute liver damage. Mumijo, as a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug, could possibly reduce some of the acetaminophen-induced side effects on the liver. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Mumijo on the liver damage...

Submitted: Jul 26, 2013; Accepted: Sep 3, 2013; Published: Sep 4, 2013 ABSTRCT: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes acute and chronic hepatitis which can eventually lead to permanent liver damage, hepatocellular carcinoma and death. The interactions among chronic liver disease and essential micronutrients in blood are arguable and have not been well understood. Therefore, HCV was analyzed in the ser...

The effects of exposure to the herbicide Dicamba (DIC) on tadpoles two amphibian species, Scinax nasicus and Elachistocleis bicolor, were assessed. Mortality biochemical sublethal evaluated using acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione S-transferase (GST), reductase (GR), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine (ALT) activities thyroid hormone (T4) levels. LC50 value at 48h was 0.859 mg L?1 ...

Boerhaavia diffusa (Nyctaginaceae) is conventionally used in Indian Ayurvedic system to treat liver diseases. The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective role of ethanol extract of B. diffusa on hepatic antioxidant status and the levels of diagnostic markers in isoproterenol induced hepatitis in rats. The Prior oral administration of B. diffusa extract [150 mg/kg bodyweight/d...

Background: The present study was carried out to investigate the possible protective effects of royal jelly (RJ) on oxymetholone (OXM)-induced oxidative liver injuries in mice. Methods: In total, 32 adult male NMRI mice were divided into four groups of eight mice each. Mice in groups 1 and 2 were orally administered 5 mg/kg/day OXM for 30 days. At the same time, mice in group 3 received RJ at a...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is often associated with dyslipidemia. Metabolic disequilibrium, resulting from being overweight and obesity, increases risk to cardiovascular system and chronic liver disease. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) are standard clinical markers for liver injury. In this study, we examined as...

Background: Liver diseases including chronic hepatitis, steatosis, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer are now a public health problem. In 2002, accounted for 27.63% of hepatobiliary in Burkina Faso. Africa more particularly Faso, the majority population (about 80%) uses medicinal plants their primary care. Calotropis procera (Ait.) R.Br (Apocynaceae) is plant used Faso treatment problems. Thi...

Abstract: Background Visceral fat is a more accurate predictor of metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk than body alone. Although the liver function associated with waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in studies, this correlation not well established young central obese individuals. In study, we examined between parameters obesity subjects. Methods Subjects among student staff community 18 40 years we...
