background: there are many reports regarding to effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-csf) and stem cell factor (scf)alone in liver repair .but conflicting data have been reported regarding the role of growth factors such as g-csf and scf in the liver regeneration system. also, there is not such data regarding to effects of co-administration both of g-csf and scf in the liver dama...

a three-fold decrease of the in vitro ability of serum proteins to bind naproxen was shown in patients with cirrhosis of the liver compared to healthy individuals. this decrease was caused by quantitative changes in serum proteins in the sera of patients with liver damage. lower doses of naproxen are therefore suggested in the treatment of patients with liver dysfunction.

This study was conducted to evaluate the tissue of liver, gills and kidney Rutillus caspicus exposed to concentrations of 50, 100, 150 mg of Methyl tert-butyl ether, for 7, 14, 21 days. Average water temperature of 19±1 °C, water oxygen of 7.6 ± 0.2 mg/l and zero salinity were measured. A total of 156 fishes were studied in this experiment. In the first, second and third week of the test, three...

Background: A majority of people widely use acetaminophen as a sedative. Overusing the drug for prolonged periods of time can lead to acute liver damage. Mumijo, as a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug, could possibly reduce some of the acetaminophen-induced side effects on the liver. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Mumijo on the liver damage...

in this study, the hepatoprotective effect of the methanol extract of aerial parts (shoot) from otostegia persica boiss (golder) was investigated against the carbon tetrachloride (ccl4)-induced acute hepatotoxicity in male rats. liver damage was induced through the oral administration of 50% ccl4 in liquid paraffin (2.5 ml/kg bw, per os) 60 min after the administration of the methanol extract o...
