Laboratory liver tests are broadly defined as tests useful in the evaluation and treatment of patients with hepatic dysfunction. The liver carries out metabolism of carbohydrate, protein and fats. Some of the enzymes and the end products of the metabolic pathway which are very sensitive for the abnormality occurred may be considered as biochemical marker of liver dysfunction. Some of the bioche...

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of magnesium-enriched, high-calcium milk on serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and biochemical markers of bone turnover in postmenopausal women. We recruited 50 healthy postmenopausal women to take part in this randomised controlled study. Half of the women consumed two serves of high-calcium skim milk enriched with magnesium (milk group) and hal...

Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is the curative treatment of choice for many cardiac arrhythmias. After RF ablation there is always a small localized endomyocardial necrosis, necessary to abolish the arrhythmia. We designed this study to determine the serum concentrations of several cardiac markers in patients who underwent RF catheter ablation. The study shows a higher frequency of incre...

This study aimed to evaluate the concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), Procalcitonin (PCT), and ceruloplasmin (Cp), which are potential biochemical markers inflammatory process in dogs naturally infected with Ehrlichiosis. A total 20 dogs, 8 clinically healthy (Healthy group) 12 mono-infected Ehrlichia spp. (Ehrlichia were included study. Dogs group selected from those showing clinical si...

BACKGROUND : Lately, there have been suggestions that bone mass changes occurring in postmenopausal women may remain related to melatonin. OBJECTIVE : To assess the relationship between the dynamic pattern of nighttime levels of melatonin and chosen biochemical markers of bone metabolism in ovariectomized rats – a model of postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS : Mature Wistar female rats were ei...

Histopathological alterations in the liver of intermediated hosts infected with Echinococcus granulosus parasite can be occurred by necrotic expansion as a result an increase growth larva stage (metacestode), which may cause perturbation production function markers. Thus, this study aims to determinate biochemical profile and some serum electrolytes E. granulosus-infected sheep at different hyd...
