Normal level of thyroid hormone is important for normal hepatic function as it maintains the metabolism of bilirubin by playing a role in the enzymatic activity of glucuronyl transferase and by regulating the level of ligandin. The liver in turn glucuronidates and sulphates the thyroid hormone, excretes into bile and regulates their systemic endocrine effects. Therefore, hepatic dysfunction is ...

The significance of hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) for hepatic graft function assessment was established mostly on retrospective studies and was not widely recognized due to the lack of quantitative data and variation in accuracy. This prospective study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of quantitative HBS for assessing hepatocyte dysfunction and biliary complication in liver tra...

Hepatoprotective activity of the ethyl acetate extract of Teucrium polium L. was investigated using rats with CCl4-induced liver damage. Specific biochemical parameters (glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione and total antioxidative status) were estimated in blood and in liver homogenate. Lipid peroxidation in CCl4-intoxicated rats was evidenced by a marked increment ...

In the study the method of assessing adaptive and regenerative opportunities of the liver by assessing of its information state was applied. The research revealed achange in the nature of the information state of the tissue of the liver at hepatoadenoma, liver cancer and non-cancer pathologies. Discovered changes of the information parameters characterizing the liver, indicate various kinds of ...

the present study was done to study the effects of water hypericum perforatum extract (whpe) on performance, abdominal fat, carcass characteristics, and blood biochemical parameters of broilers with 160 day-old ross 308. broilers were randomly distributed among the16 experimental units of four treatments with four replications (10 birds in each replicate) for 42 days. the treatments were includ...

The mammalian circadian system controls various physiology processes and behavior responses by regulating thousands of circadian genes with rhythmic expressions. In this study, we redefined circadian-regulated genes based on published results in the mouse liver and compared them with other gene groups defined relative to circadian regulations, especially the non-circadian-regulated genes expres...
