Background: The goal of the study was to investigate the effect of 5 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the levels of resistin and adiponectin and liver enzymes in Wistar rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver. Methods: To do this basic research, 24 Wistar male rats were purchased and transferred to Baqiyatallah University then, they were allocated randomly into three groups: Con...

FOLLOWING tissue damage several tissue enzymes are released into the serum. On this basis, changes in serum glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase have been used as indicators of the occurrence and severity of myocardial infarction. These tests lack specificity because damage to liver and other organs also causes an increase in the serum levels of these enzymes. Recently w...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the possible correlation between levels of serum liver enzymes and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in Chinese adults and to provide a new perspective for the prevention of pre-diabetes. MATERIAL/METHODS Serum liver enzymes of the samples including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and g-glutamyl transferase (GG...

conclusions elevated serum pth level was the predictive factor for nash in morbidly obese patients. also, we reported elevated serum liver enzymes, high serum pth levels and older age as predictors of nash in patients seeking obesity surgical treatments. results forty-six patients (34 women, aged 36.5 ± 10.6 years) were analyzed. the mean levels of liver enzymes were significantly higher in the...

Methanolic extract of Luffa cylindrica (L.) M. J. Roem. leaves (MELC) was evaluated for its hepatoprotective potential against paracetamol intoxicated wistar rats. Administration of MELC and standard drug silymarin showed significant (P <0.05) hepatoprotective protection in experimental animals. The study was conducted by estimating serum enzyme activities of serum glutamate oxaloacatate transa...

An increase in the serum concentration of pancreatic enzymes (amylase and lipase) is commonly an expression of inflammatory or neoplastic pancreatic disease. However, an elevation of pancreatic enzymes, generally mild, may be a non-specific phenomenon without any clinical implication. The large spreading of the serum pancreatic enzymes dosage in clinical practice, particularly in emergency room...

Hepatic injury is associated with distortion of the metabolic function. Hepatic disease can be evaluated by biochemical analysis of the serum tests, includes levels of serum Alanine and Aspartate aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, and others. The present study was conducted to assay Liver associated enzymes on patients with Viral Hepatitis, Alcoholic hepatitis and Chronic hepatitis and to...

Introduction: Herbal medicine and medical plants such as Ziziphus vulgaris L. are widely used for treatment of diseases such as diabetes mellitus. In the present study, we have investigated effects of alcoholic extracts of Z. vulgaris fruit on serum glucose, triglycerides, LDL, HDL and activities of aminotransferase enzymes in streptozocin (STZ)- induced diabetic adult male rats. Methods: H...
