Carbosulfan (2,3-dihydro-2,2dimethyl-7-benzofuronyl [(dibutyl amino) thio] methyl] a carbamate insecticide and acaricide was administered orally at an effective dose of 48 mg/kg/day to albino mice for 5, 10, 20 and 30 days .Control mice received similar quantities of olive oil. Daily body weights were recorded and mice were sacrificed after 24 hours after the terminal exposure. The histologic e...

Activation of the inflammatory immune system, as evidenced by the effects of interferon a (IFNa) treatment, induces depressive symptoms. Prescription of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) is now advocated in combination with antiviral therapy in patients exposed to IFNa when early symptoms of depression emerge. The recently published article written by Kraus et al (Gut 2008;57:531–...

Freshwater fish Cirrhinus mrigala were exposed to lethal concentration (5 mg/L) for 1,2,3,4 days and sublethal concentration (1 mg/L) for 1,7,14,21 days of cypermethrin to examine the enzymes activity, in functionally three different tissues namely, gill, liver and muscle. Activities of Aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), Alanine aminotransferase (AlAT) and Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) increased...

BACKGROUND Research and development of effective hepatoprotective medicines is one of the priority areas of research in Russia. Literature data shows that active research and development of hepatoprotectors is carried out both in Russian and other countries [1-6]. Pirimidines are used as hepatoprotective medicines stimulating protein synthesis and reparation of hepatocytes in toxical and infect...

SUMMARY Three pa ticnts admitted because of slightly increased serum amino trans fcrases were found to have Addison's disease. A review of 16 other patients with addison 's disease who had serum aminotransferase activity (aspartate aminotrans­ferase (ASAT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) J determined prior to treatment revealed one more patient with slightly increased aminotransferase acti...

In male Wistar rats the hepatoprotective effect of pollen extracts (Cernitins) agains. orally introduced 1% allyl alcohol (0.4 ml per 100 g body weight) was investigated Cernitins were applied orally at 0.6, 24 and 30 h after allyl alcohol administration. After 48 h an autopsy was performed and blood was collected for biochemical tests. Liver damage was evaluated by measurement of aminotransfer...

Three strains of Trypanosoma cruzi, used previously as prototypes for a classification based on the host-parasite relationships, as well as several stocks isolated from different geographical areas in Brazil, were submitted to isoenzymic analysis. Their isoenzyme patterns revealed a clear correlation with the biological data. The patterns obtained with the enzymes PGM, GPI, ASAT and ALAT permit...

Use of Juvenile Hormone Analogues (JHA) in sericulture practices has been shown to boost good cocoon yield; their effect has been determined to be dose-dependent. We studied the impact of low doses of JHA compounds such as methoprene and fenoxycarb on selected key enzymatic activities of the silkworm Bombyx mori. Methoprene and fenoxycarb at doses of 1.0 microg and 3.0 fg/larvae/48 hours showed...
