Abstract: Background  and  Aims:  Huh-7  is  a  cell  line  that  was  derived  from  a  liver  tumor  of  a  Japanese  man.  Hepatocellular  carcinoma  (HCC)  is  considered  as  a  primary  liver  cancer.  Highly  resistant  tumor  to  treatment  which  causes  the  death  of  many  patients  annually.  Thus,  targeting  the  cancer  cells  by  using  a  new  method  could  be  effective  in...

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...

Liver failure, in an acute or chronic form, is a growing health problem ranking as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Inborn errors of metabolism characterized by defects in hepatic enzymes or other proteins with metabolic functions, such as receptors or transporters accompanied with environmental factors involve etiology and presentation of liver failure. Currently, the only establi...

Abstract The intestinal immune system is a central modulator of obesity-associated metabolic disease. Particularly, high-affinity IgA maintains gut homeostasis after its generation in germinal center (GC) response that requires functional T follicular helper (Tfh) cells Peyer’s patches (PP). objective this study was to determine how obesity affects Tfh function leading We investigated the pheno...

The metabolic pathway of de novo lipogenesis is frequently upregulated in human liver tumours, and its upregulation is associated with poor prognosis. Blocking lipogenesis in cultured liver cancer cells is sufficient to decrease cell viability; however, it is not known whether blocking lipogenesis in vivo can prevent liver tumorigenesis. Herein, we inhibit hepatic lipogenesis in mice by liver-s...

Wilson disease (WD), known as hepatolenticular degeneration (HLD), is a treatable autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. Because deposits in the liver first, not only original defective organ but also most affected organ. The injury one main causes death throughout course disease. Therefore, treatment task WD treatment, which great significance to improve prognosis patients. Autopha...

Objective(s): The effects of low dose amphetamine on oxidative stress and rotenone-induced neurotoxicity and liver injury were examined in vivo in a mice model of Parkinson’s disease. Materials and Methods: Male mice were treated with rotenone (1.5 mg/kg, every other day for two weeks, subcutaneously). Mice received either the vehicle or...

protective action of ficus carica leaf ethanolic extract (obtained by maceration) was evaluated in an animal model of hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride (ccl4). male albino mice were divided into six groups. group i was normal control group; group ii received olive oil (ccl4 solvent), groups iii-vi received ccl4. after inducing hepatic damage, group iii served as control for ccl4; a...

background: during the resent years there has been interest in using bone marrow stem cells to treat liver cirrhosis. however, there is a potential concern for malignant transformation after stem cell therapy. the aim of this study was to evaluate the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) after autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation for liver cirrhosis. methods: all the patien...
