Obesity is a main reason of type 2 diabetes and also chronic exposure to arsenic (As)can produce diabetic symptoms. In previous studies, the association between high-fat dietand arsenic in the incidence of diabetes was found, but the role of beta cells activity, livermitochondrial oxidative stress, and hepatic enzymes (leptin, adiponectin and beta amylase)was unclear. Thus, present study was co...

BACKGROUND Diagnosing hepatic injury in HIV infection can be a herculean task for clinicians as several factors may be involved.

The assay of serum enzymes is very useful for the differential diagnosis and monitoring various hepatobiliary disorders. Aspartate aminotransferases are found in liver, cardiac muscle, skeletal kidneys, brain, pancreas, lungs, leukocytes, erythrocytes decreasing order concentration. Alanine muscle (cardiac skeletal), these specific indicators hepatocellular injury dogs cats not large animals pi...

Background: Liver is an important organ that responsible for biological detoxification. There are few studies about the effect of co-exposure to organic solvents and noise on hepatic system enzymes. The study aim was to assess the effects of short-term exposure to noise and styrene on rat liver enzymes. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, we studied the liver enzymes of male r...
