Four distinct isozymes of aspartate-alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase in a spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf extract were separated by starch gel electrophoresis. Of the total aspartate-alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase activity, approximately 45% was represented by the chloroplast isozyme, 26% by the cytosol isozyme, 19% by the mitochondrial isozyme, and 3 to 10% by the peroxisomal isozyme. Th...

Objective(s):  There is a rising use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in goods and in the medical fields but there is concern about the toxicity of them. So in this study spherical AuNPs with 3 different concentrations were applied for investigating their effects in vivo.   Materials and Methods:  40 male albino mice were randomly divided into sham, control, 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm groups and were...

This study was designed to evaluate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of methanol extract of Lippia nodiflora (MELN) in acute experimental liver injury induced by paracetamol (750mg/kg, b.w). MELN at the doses of 200 and 400mg/kg, p.o was administered for 7 days and biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), glutamate pyruvate transamina...

standardization of induction of oxidative stress with fenton mixture (fm) in isolated perfused rat kidney and the antioxidant effect of terminalia arjuna bark in the isolated oxidatively stressed rat kidney has been evaluated. six groups each containing eight isolated perfused rat kidneys were used for the present study and the oxidative stress was induced by perfusing the isolated kidneys with...

Almost all patients who undergo palatine tonsillectomy for chronic tonsillitis and/or tonsillar hypertrophy manifest postoperative changes in their condition and laboratory data. In some patients, high preoperative transaminase levels decrease postoperatively. I studied 17 patients who had abnormal serum transaminase levels 10 days before tonsillectomy. Before tonsillectomy, serum glutamate oxa...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have received growing attention for several biomedical applications. Nanoparticles proposed for these applications possess the potential to interact with biological components such as the blood, cells/ tissues following their administration into the body. Hence we carried out in vivo investigations in Swiss Albino Mice to understand the interaction of ZnO nanorods...

In the present investigation, in vivo effects of purified ticks’ saliva toxin were evaluated on level certain important cellular metabolic enzymes i.e. acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline (ALP), glutamate pyruvate transaminase, oxaloacetate transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase. For this purpose, sub-lethal doses, 40% 80% 24 h LD50 toxins Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini, 1888) injected subcuta...
