A nonsynonymous E167K (rs58542926 C/T) variant in TM6SF2 gene was recently associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We explored the association between E167K and plasma concentrations of alanine (ALT) and aspartate (AST) aminotransferases through a meta-analysis. We also estimated the strength of the effect across diverse liver phenotypes, including NAFLD and chronic viral hepa...

Need for designing certain important structures to resist blast loads is increasing in the recent past years, due to the enhanced terrorist operations. A bomb explosion can cause very serious damage on the building's external and internal structural frames. Collapse of one structural member in the vicinity of the source of explosion, may then create critical stress redistributions and lead to c...

this paper is a continuation of [uniformities and covering properties for partial frames (i)], in which we make use of the notion of a partial frame, which is a meet-semilattice in which certain designated subsets are required to have joins, and finite meets distribute over these. after presenting there our axiomatization of partial frames, which we call $sels$-frames, we added structure, in th...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of oral administration of aqueous leaf extract of Cajanus cajan on the concentration of Na, K, Cl and HCO3 and the activities of amino transferases (ALT and AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the serum of physiologically normal rats. Two different doses, 0.5 g/kg and 1.0g/kg body weight (BWT) were administered to rats for 14 days. ...

The redox status of male rat liver following 28 days consumption of Burukutu was investigated. Twenty rats were randomized into four groups with five rats each. Burukutu consumption at 0.78 g/kg alcohol produced no significant change in the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). However, 3.71 and 7.43 g/kg dosages resulted...

AIMS Conventional tests for alcohol dependence often fail to detect hazardous and harmful alcohol use (HHAU) accurately. We previously validated the Bayesian Alcoholism Test (BAT) for the detection of HHAU among males. This uses 15 biochemical and clinical variables, including questionnaire data to calculate the probability of harmful (>80 g alcohol/day), hazardous (40-80 g/day) and 'moderate' ...

ABSTRACTBackground: Patients with liver cirrhosis had cell damage and malnutrition risk. Hepatogomax enteral formula consists of soybean flour goat’s milk which could reduce serum albumin, AST, ALT levels because it contains BCAA amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine) MCT.Objective: To examine the effect based on Soybean in Sprague Dawley rats cirrhosis.Methods: The true experimental study –...
