We studied 119 patients with OSAS and 35 controls. Participants were recruited and studied at the sleep unit at Hospital Universitari Son Espases, Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Serum levels of fetuin-A, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) were ...

The effect of daily, oral administration of ethanolic extract of Khaya senegalensis stem bark (2mg/kg body weight) for 18days on the alkaline phosphatase, aspartate and alanine aminotransferase activities of rat liver and serum were investigated. Compared with the control, the activities of liver alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) inc...

Objectives: Adenosine has been shown in animal and human studies to decrease the post-ischemic myocardial injury by lowering the levels of tumor necrosis factor-a. The objectives of the study was to examine the protective effects of adenosine on the organ injury (liver, kidney, pancreas) associated with hemorrhagic shock in rats. Methodology: The study was conducted at Cardiovascular Physiology...

background: besides acute lethal cyanide poisoning, its chronic intoxication may also produce some pathologic effects on different tissues that precedes alterations in biochemical parameters. the present study was aimed to evaluate the effects of sublethal cyanide exposure on some tissue enzyme activities in liver and kidney of rats. methods: twelve male rats were divided into two groups as fol...

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a syndrome of disordered metabolism with abnormally high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia). In Type-2 DM (T2DM), the loss of direct effect of insulin to suppress hepatic glucose production and glycogenolysis in the liver causes an increase in hepatic glucose production. Hence, this study was intended to determine the status of parameters related to liver...

Laggera alata extract (LAE) was quantitatively analyzed, and its principle components isochlorogenic acids were isolated and authenticated. Protective properties of LAE were studied using a d-galactosamine (d-GalN)-induced injury model in neonatal rat hepatocytes and a d-GalN-induced acute liver damage model in mice. Meanwhile, the effect of isochlorogenic acids derived from LAE on d-GalN-induc...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary turmeric rhizome powder (trp) as a natural antioxidant, and soybean oil, canola oil and tallow on lipid metabolism, blood metabolites, immune system, and antioxidant status of broiler chickens before (bhs, 28 d) and after exposure to heat stress (ahs, 42 d). seven hundred and ninety two d-old male arian broilers were randomly allotted ...
