introduction: hydatid cyst disease is caused by the protoscolices of echinococcus granulosus. alkaline phosphatase (alp) enzyme is required for metabolism, physiology, immunology, and nutrients absorption in parasite. the aim of this study was to compare the level of alp activity (as a pathological biomarker) in hydatid cyst protoscolices (hcp) with that of sheep liver tissue and to determine t...

background: aspartate transaminase (ast) is an important enzyme in parasite and liver tissue. the purpose of this investigation is to evaluate triclabendazole (tcbz) effect on ast activity of fasciola gigantica parasite. to compare of enzyme level of parasite and its host tissue, enzyme activity of f. gigantica parasite and liver tissues were also determined. method: the livers were collected f...

the effects of chronic metabolic acidosis, alkalosis and alloxan-induced ketoacidosis on g6pd activity of rat kidney, liver and erythrocytes were studied. metabolic acidosis significantly increased the activity of kidney enzyme (55%) but decreased the liver (43%) and erythrocyte (38%) enzyme activities. alkalosis did not make a significant change in the kidney or liver enzyme activity but sligh...

in a 42-d experiment, 576 one-day-old vencobb 308 broiler chicks were used to investigate the effects of lecithin extract (0.5 g/kg), choline chloride 60% (1 g/kg) and bio choline (1 g/kg) in diets of moderate and high energy in a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement on performance and certain physiological traits in broiler chickens. the inclusion of bio choline and lecithin extract in the diet signifi...

Introduction: To determine an indicator for Triclabendazole (TCBZ) efficacy, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity in Fasciola hepatica (Iranian isolate) parasite in presence and absence of TCBZ was evaluated by an in vitro cultivation method. Also, ALT enzyme activity between none and parasitized-infected sheep liver tissues was assessed. Method:  The sheep livers were collected and tra...

hydatidosis is a zoonosis disease caused by the larva of echinococcus granulosus parasite in man and animals. the proteases enzymes are necessary for nutrition, migration and evasion of immunity of parasite into host. the aim of this study was to determine the protease activity of hydatid cyst protoscolices (psc), healthy and cystic liver tissues in order to compare of this biomarker for host a...

variations in phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (pap) activity and triacylglycerol concentration were measured in pregnant and hormone-treated non-pregnant female rats. pap activity in adipose tissue was elevated by 61% during pregnancy. the increase in the enzyme activity was paralleled with a rise in serum triacylglycerol concentration (44%). estradiol injecting into non-pregnant rats increased ...
