Background: Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) possesses bioactive components with antioxidant effects. This plant has been widely used in traditional medicine.  Objectives: The current study aimed to examine the protective activity of Hydroethanolic Extract of Cynara scolymus (HECS) against experimentally-induced hemolytic anemia in rats. Methods: Hemolytic anemia was induced by intraperitoneal inj...

Liver marker {e.g., alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)} levels independently predict insulin resistance. The aim of the present study is to examine how changes in liver markers are associated with changes in insulin resistance after exercise in Japanese community-dwelling adults. The participants were 76 women aged 67 ± 6 years from a rural village. Nordic walk ...

The hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of Bauhinia hookeri ethanol extract (BHE) against CCl4-induced liver injury was investigated in mice. BHE was administered (500 and 1000 mg/kg/day) along with CCl4 for 6 weeks. The hepatic marker enzymes: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were determined in the serum. The antioxidant par...

Abstract The present study was carried out to determine the synergistic role of vitamin E and C in reducing toxic effects cadmium chloride on some blood parameters (RBC count, Hb concentration, PCV, Total WBC Differential count), as well biochemical which include (Malondialdehyde (MDA), Aspartate aminotransferase(AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline phosphatase(ALP), Creatinin, Urea) ...

ABSTRACT Anableps anableps is a viviparous teleost typical from Amazon Delta estuaries. It representative of this biome in Maracá, which offers potential for biomonitoring. The aim study to apply different biomarkers males and females species verify possible seasonal influences on their physiology. To collect fish, three expeditions were carried out the rainy season April 2018 February 2019. Bi...

BACKGROUND Host response to periodontal disease includes the release of different enzymes from stromal, epithelial or inflammatory cells. The enzymes which are produced from these cells are associated with cell injury and cell death like: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Normal enzymatic activity of these...

This study determined the dietary effects of pomegranate peel powder meal (PPPM) supplementation on growth performance, digestibility, carcase and organ weights, serum, some meat antioxidant enzyme indices Cobb 500 birds. Birds (n = 432) were randomly assigned to six experimental groups four replicates each fed either diets supplemented with 2, 4, 6 8 g/kg PPPM (PPPM2, PPPM4, PPPM6 PPPM8), 0% a...

Aflatoxins are a group of secondary fungal metabolites that occur widely in natural contaminants of many feeds under high humidity and temperature, and are potentially dangerous to fish. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effects of aflatoxins on some plasma biochemical indices, as clinical biomarkers, in common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Fish were fed diets contaminated with 0 (...
