The ethanol extract of Eugenia floccosa Bedd (Family: Myrtaceae) leaf was investigated for its antioxidant, antihyperlipidaemic and antidiabetic effect in Wistar Albino rats. Diabetes was induced in Albino rats by administration of alloxan monohydrate (150mg/kg, i.p). The ethanol extracts of E. floccosa at a dose of 150 and 300mg/kg of body weight were administered at single dose per day to dia...

Introduction: Serum transaminases rose significantly in 7 patients with chronic hepatitis C, genotypes 2 and 3, who were treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Methods: 219 patients with chronic hepatitis C, genotypes 2 and 3, were treated between 2005 and 2011 following the same protocol. For the 7 patients presented in this paper, the initial liver screen revealed chronic hepatitis ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidaemic effect of ethanol extract of Melastoma malabathricum (M. malabathricum) Linn. leaf in alloxan induced diabetic rats. METHODS Diabetes was induced in albino rats by administration of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg i.p). the ethanol extracts of M. malabathricum at a dose of 150 and 300 mg/kg of body weight were administrated at a si...

conclusions serum stnfr-iiα could be used as a potential serum marker in diagnosing hcc among patients with hcv infection. results the serum level of stnfr-iiα was significantly higher in patients with hcc in comparison to the other groups. a positive correlation was found between the serum levels of stnfr-iiα and ast and alt in patients of group-ii. diagnosis of hcc among patients with hcv inf...

background: aluminum phosphide (alp) or rice tablet is a common agent used as pesticides. it is cheap, widely available and highly toxic and responsible for many cases of poisoning in the agricultural communities. there is limited evidence about change of liver enzymes in patients with alp poisoning in this region. therefore, we decided to evaluate alteration of liver enzymes in alp poisoning i...

AIM OF THE STUDY Investigation of the relationships between the grade and stage of chronic liver diseases irrespective of their etiology using some novel serum markers of liver fibrogenesis, the "classical" serum markers of liver necro-inflammatory injury (such as transaminases), and the histomorphological evaluation of liver biopsies. METHODS Markers of liver fibrogenesis: serum metalloprote...

In the current research, rats will be given paracetamol (hepatotoxic), and hydoethanol (HEESV) extract of leaves Sida veronicaefolia tested to see how well it protects rats' livers from damage caused by paracetamol. Liver function tests serum profiles were used provide an estimate hepatoprotective effects HEESV at a dose 500 mg/kg. According findings, extracts chosen plant not only strong impac...

Ascofuranone significantly reduced serum lipid levels of rats fed with normal diet 6 hours after a single oral administration of 108 mg/kg. Whenthe antibiotic was orally given for consecutive 10 days to normolipidemic rats, the treatment resulted in marked reduction of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and free fatty acids without affecting organ weight gain, serum total protein, ...

We report representative serum enzyme changes after cardiac transplantation in 20 patients receiving post-transplant therapy with cyclosporine. In general, the changes resembled those after acute myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass surgery, but were more prolonged. Cardiac biopsy or episodes of cardiac rejection did not usually alter serum enzyme activities. Cyclosporine A toxicity ...
