in the present study, changes of values of serum 17ß-estradiol (e2), asparate amino teransferase (ast), alanine amino transferase (alt) and lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) following intraperitoneal (i.p) injection with the aromatase inhibitor (ai) letrozole were investigated in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss). forty- eight apparently healthy rainbow trout (mean weight of 845 g) divided in four ...

objective(s): silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) are one of the most widely used nanomaterials recently. despite the wide application of nanomaterials, there is limited information concerning their impact on human health and the environment. this study aimed to find the effects of ag-nps (40 nm) on blood serum, liver and kidney tissues of homing pigeons (columbia livia).materials and methods: columb...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Couroupita guianensis against CCL4 induced liver damage in rats. Anti-oxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and hydrogen peroxide scavenging. Ascorbic acid was used as the standard antioxidants for comparison. Healthy male Wistar albino rats of either sex (150...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of alcoholic extract of Lagerstroemia speciosa (L) pers. against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver fibrosis in male albino Wistar rats (150-200gm). Liver fibrosis was induced by twice/week administration of CCl4 at a dose of 1ml/kg body weight, mixed with an equal volume of corn oil. The extent of liver fibrosis was assessed by the co...

Eriobotrya japonica is considered a medicinal plant, and its leaves (Eriobotrya folia) have been used to treat skin diseases, as well as to relieve inflammation, pain, coughing, and sputa. In our evaluation of the pharmacological efficacy of the seed extracts, constituents of the seeds were found to contain the unsaturated fatty acids linolenic and linoleic acids and the sterol beta-sitosterol ...

Sho-saiko-to extract, a Chinese herbal medicine, is widely used for treatment of chronic hepatitis in Japan. However, it is not clear what conditions Sho-saiko-to extract improves hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. We therefore induced various stages of liver injury in model rats and administered Sho-saiko-to extract. We then evaluated the liver inflammation and liver fibrosis-improving effects...

A complementary DNA (cDNA) for rat hepatic aryl sulfotransferase IV (AST IV) was isolated, characterized, and used as a hybridization probe to evaluate the molecular basis for the differential expression of AST IV during 2-acetylaminofluorine (2AAF)-induced hepatocarcinogensis. The AST IV cDNA clone was obtained by immunochemical screening of a male Sprague-Dawley rat liver cDNA library. The AS...

BACKGROUND Parental history of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to investigate the associations of parental history of T2D with cardiometabolic biomarkers and to subsequently investigate to what extent these putative associations were explained by modifiable factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectionally, we analysed a random sample of 2001 participant...
