This preliminary study was undertaken to investigate some biochemical and histological effects of consumption of Talinum triangulare (L.) Juss – supplemented diet in hepatotoxic rats in which liver damage was induced with paracetamol. Thirty female rats were divided into six groups of five rats per group for control, hepatotoxic and non-hepatotoxic groups and were fed 5% or 10% T. triangulare-s...

Objective: To explore and summarize the effect of sirolimus on ischemic-type biliary lesions (ITBL) after liver transplantation. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on 52 patients using sirolimus for biliary complications after liver transplantation from 2004 to 2016 in our hospital. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), total bilirubin, glutamyl endopeptida...

Macro-aspartate transaminase (macro-AST) must be considered when the aspartate transaminase (AST) level is chronically high without any liver, cardiac, or muscle disease. Many specialized laboratory techniques have been recommended for diagnosing macro-AST, including the polyethylene glycol immune precipitate technique, which is simple. This study presents a considerably easier method based on ...

1. The subcellular distributions of glutamate decarboxylase and aspartate transaminase were studied in rat and guinea-pig brain. 2. Glutamate decarboxylase is localized in the synaptosome fraction. The mean density of the particles containing the enzyme is slightly greater than those derived from cholinergic neurones, though overlap is substantial. 3. The enzyme is readily released from synapto...

We have combined immunocytochemical localization of L-aspartate aminotransferase (L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.1; glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) with autoradiographic localization of high-affinity uptake sites for L-glutamate or L-aspartate to identify the neurotransmitters of mammalian photoreceptors. In both human and rat retinas, high aspartate aminotransferase i...

conclusions these results indicated that chronic administration of mdma affects liver as well as lipoprotein profile in male rats. the exact mechanism of action needs further investigation. background ecstasy is used to improve mood and cordiality; however, based on some reports, it is neurotoxic to human users. objectives because of the euphoria induced by mdma (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetami...

Back Ground:Liver diseases are common disorders encountered in clinical practices. Investigations in liver diseases are used to detect hepatic abnormality, to measure its severity, to define it structural effect on the liver, to look for specific causes of liver diseases, assess prognosis and to evaluate therapy. Aim and Objectives:To study and compare the altered serum levels of enzymes GGT, A...
