Eight groups of male Swiss albino mice mice (6 8 weeks old; 23 26g wt) were employed to study the effect of Immunostimulant, (Immunex DS) on the level of abdominal muscle transaminases against Gen Vac B vaccine. In group I, Immunex DS (IDS) was orally administered (@ 150mg/mouse) to 10 mice, in 6 groups of mice (10 in each) IDS was orally administered @ 150mg/mouse on 0 day and Gen Vac B Vaccin...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), alanine transaminases (ALT) and aspartate transaminases (AST) levels and prevalent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). DESIGN AND METHODS Random plasma glucose, GGT, ALT and AST and the 50-g glucose challenge test were done on antenatal women followed by diagnostic 3-point 75-g oral glucose tolerance test within two weeks. GDM was diagn...

The current study prepareded to evaluate histopathological and some physiological parameters changes after treated with Nerium oleander L lead. Thus concentrated on tissue structures in the liver aqueous extract of lead solution. Its caused intense flaws albino mice. After expiration experimental time, blood specimens collecting value Aspartate Transaminase (AST), Alanine (ALT), urea (BUN) crea...

Methods: The effect of Abana pretreatment (75 mg /100 g ) for a period of 60 days on isoproterenol (20 mg/100 g s.c. twice at an interval of 24 hrs) induced lipid peroxidation was studied in rats. Marker enzymes levels such as creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase were assessed in serum and heart homogenate. Glutathione content and lipid peroxid...

Bovine liver mitochondria have been found to contain an enzyme which will catalyze the formation of &aminolevulinic acid via a transamination reaction rather than via the condensation of glycine and succinyl coenzyme A. The enzyme, L-alanine:y,bdioxovaleric acid aminotransferase (y,&dioxovalerate transaminase) was isolated and purified to apparent homogeneity. y,&Dioxovalerate transaminase is q...

Background and Aims: Hepatotoxicity induced by Co-amoxiclav has been indicated in multiple studies. Thymol is the main constituent of the Thymus vulgaris essential oil that has antioxidant properties. Even though thymol can exhibit antioxidant activity in vivo models, there is a lack of evidence about the thymol’s effectiveness in drug-induced liver injury. Thus, the present study was conducted...

Aminooxyacetate, a known inhibitor of transaminase reactions and glycine decarboxylase, promotes rapid depletion of the free pools of serine and aspartate in nitrate grown Lemna minor L. This compound markedly inhibits the methionine sulfoximine-induced accumulation of free ammonium ions and greatly restricts the methionine sulfoximine-induced depletion of amino acids such as glutamate, alanine...

Clinical Enzymology Enzymes nomenclature, classification, structure and specificity Enzymes, isoenzymes and their relevance in diagnosis Regulation of enzyme levels in serum and plasma Selection of enzyme tests Measurement of isoenzymes and isoforms Some important enzymes in clinical practice Aspartate transaminase (AST) and Alanine transaminase (ALT) Creatine Kinase (CK) Lactate dehydrogenase ...

Blood samples were collected from all study-group subjects for biochemical parameters assays before and after 15 days of vitamin C supplements. The study clearly showed that giving vitamin C supple ments protects liver damage in vineyard crop sprayers, which results in decreased aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase activity. In addition to its antioxidant activity, vitamin C is known...
