The current study aimed to investigate the antihyperglycaemic effect of aqueous extract of Origanum vulgare (oregano, OV) leaves in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rat. Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats showed significant (P < 0.05) increase in the levels of blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin, pancreatic amylase, liver and kidney weights /body weight ratios, urea, uric acid, creat...

The rapid emergence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a cause of both liver-related morbidity and mortality and cardiometabolic risk has led to the search for effective lifestyle strategies to reduce liver fat. Lifestyle intervention comprising dietary restriction in conjunction with increased physical activity has shown clear hepatic benefits when weight loss approximating 3%-10% ...

The present study was conducted to investigate the variation in the lipid profile between Egyptian breed Fayoumi and commercial strain ISA-Brown. Forty 32-wk-old ISA-Brown and thirty-five 36-wk-old Fayoumi were housed individually in separated layer cages in opensystem housing. Four weeks later, Body weight was recorded and egg weight, number, and composition were measured. In addition, lipid p...

mancozeb, a fungicide of a manganese-zinc ethylenebisdithio-carbamate (ebdc), was administered by gavage at doses of 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg/kg/day to female virgin mice for 30 days. the mice were autopsied on 31st day. mice were also treated with similar doses for a period of 30 days and the treatment was withdrawn for a further period of 30 days for reversible study. the mice were autopsied ...

in order to evaluate the effects of ascites on blood gas parameters and internal organ weights, 335 broilers related to parental lines was studied. one hundred sixty-one male broilers and one hundred seventy-four females selected randomly and studied under two treatments of control and ascites. at 54 days of age, body weight and body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion rate between the...

This study was aimed at finding out whether weight reduction alone can improve liver function in obese patients with fatty liver. We did a longitudinal, clinical intervention study on weight reduction by behavior modification, diet and exercise. The study subjects were 25 patients referred to an obesity clinic in whom obesity is the sole factor causing abnormal liver function and fatty liver. P...

In a previous study of tumor-bearing rats of the Wistar strain (1@), it was shown that the growth of a neopla.sm elsewhere than in the liver itself was frequently accompanied by an increase in the weight of the liver. It was recognized that the per centage of liver water was increased in such am mals (4, 8); but, according to McEwen and Haven (8), the dry livers of rats with subcutaneous im pla...
