The visceral storage fat and liver of patin catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) are normally discarded, which incurs cost and can cause environmental pollution. However, these may be potential sources to extract fish oil. The proximate and fatty acid compositions of liver and fatty tissue of patin catfish were investigated to evaluate the suitability of these by-products for extracting fish o...

Silver-cobalt nanoparticles are used in medicine. In this study, the effects of silver-cobalt nanoparticles on functional tests and liver tissue changes in adult male rats were investigated. 28 adult male Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g were divided into 4 groups of 7. Control group, Experimental group1 received 25mg / kg of silver-cobalt nanoparticles (AgCo NPs) in which silver nanoparticle (Ag...

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals including Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in muscle, gill, liver, kidney and stomach in Acipencer persicus was studied. Fish were collected from the ‘Iranian fishery zone 1’ located between Astara and Kiyahshahr. Samples (n=25) were collected from five stations in the study area during the autumn catch season in 2001. Samples were analyzed by wet digestion with hyd...

tissue metal accumulations (gills, liver, kidney and muscle) in persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) were compared folowing exposure to sublethal levels of waterborne cd (50, 400 and 1000 μg•l-1) after periods of 1, 2, 4 and 14 days. the obtained results indicate that at the end of 4 and 14 days of exposure, total tissue cadmium concentration followed the pattern: liver > gill > kidney > muscl...

variations in phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (pap) activity and triacylglycerol concentration were measured in pregnant and hormone-treated non-pregnant female rats. pap activity in adipose tissue was elevated by 61% during pregnancy. the increase in the enzyme activity was paralleled with a rise in serum triacylglycerol concentration (44%). estradiol injecting into non-pregnant rats increased ...

biomechanical properties of soft tissue, such as liver, are important in modeling computer aided surgical procedures. experimental evidences show that liver tissue is transversely isotropic. in this article, considering the liver tissue as an incompressible fiber-reinforced composite with one family of fibers, an exponential strain energy function (sef) is proposed. the proposed sef is based on...

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...

Herb Induced Liver Injury (HILI) is a condition in which there aggression to the liver tissue after exposure substances present many different medications, dietary supplements, herbs and xenobiotics.
