Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSerum Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase Activity and Correlation with Fatty Liver in Dairy Cows with Displaced AbomasumKen Onda, Reiichiro Sato, Yosuke Sasaki et al.Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase (OCT) is a hepatocyte-specific enzyme; elevated serum activity indicates liver damage. Displaced abomasum frequently occurs around the time of parturition in dairy cattle and is associated with fatty liver. We analyzed serum OCT activities to investigate the relationship between displaced abomasum and fatty liver. Lactating Holstein cows, 75 clinically healthy and 22 with displaced abomasum, were used. Serum … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 Jul 2016 · 7,660 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractSurvival Following Severe Paraquat Poisoning a Case Study from the Andaman and Nicobar IslandsShiv Shankar Singh, Colin Sanchez, Prasan Kumar PandaParaquat poisoning continues to pose a significant public health challenge in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, largely due to its alarmingly high mortality rate. In this report, we present the case of a 39-year-old male farmer who ingested 30 mL of paraquat with the intent of suicide. Initially, the patient underwent prompt gastric lavage and exhibited relative stability. Upon admission, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2025 · 10,605 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrilobatin Possesses Protective Potentials on H2O2-Induced HepG2 Cells by Suppressing Oxidative Stress: Involvement of Nrf2/Keap1 Signal PathwayYuhan Zhai, Yuqing Zhang, Yaping Li et al.Trilobatin, a natural dihydrochalcone compound, possesses various biological activities. However, few investigations have been carried out on the mechanisms of trilobatin against oxidative stress. To comprehend the effects and mechanism of trilobatin on oxidative stress after hepatic injury, H2O2-induced HepG2 cells were used in this research. The results indicated that trilobatin enhanced the viability and improved the apoptosis morphology of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2023 · 5,087 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmeliorative Impacts of Tribulus terrestris Against Ivermectin-Induced Hepato-Renal Toxicity in Rabbit: Pharmacological and Histopathological StudySally I. Ismaiel, Sameh M. Farouk, Raafat A. El-Ramady, Waleed F. KhalilThe current work aimed to investigate the protective effects of Tribulus terrestris extracts against ivermectin-induced hepatic and renal toxicity in male rabbit. Selenium plus vitamin E was used as a comparative standard drug to evaluate the efficacy of Tribulus terrestris extract on some hematological parameters, kidney and liver enzymes as well as associated histopathological changes. This work was carried out … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Jan 2017 · 7,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREVALENCE OF AUTOANTIBODIES REVEALS A PREDOMINANT SMA AND ANCA-PR3/MPO PATTERN IN HIV INFECTION AND SMA IN HAV-INFECTED CHILDRENLuz M. Navarta, Carlos A. Espul, Nelson Acosta-RiveroHepatitis A Virus (HAV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) have been associated with development of autoantibodies and autoimmune manifestations in children. Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) is particularly aggressive in children/adolescents with a more severe outcome. Thus, studying the mechanisms of virus-related autoimmune disorders in children is a relevant topic of research. We aimed to study the prevalence of autoantibodies in plasma … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2014 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF PIOGLITAZONE ON HEPATIC ULTRA-STRUCTURE AND METABOLIC CHANGES INDUCED BY A HIGH SUCROSE DIET IN RATSMohamed D. Morsy, Ahmed S. Khashaba, Ahmed I. Agamy, Refaat A. EidPioglitazone (Pio) is a PPAR-γ agonist insulin sensitizer has anti-inflammatory activity. Our novel aspect was to investigate its hepatic anti-inflammatory activity at the level of ultra-structure and enzymatic changes in a high sucrose diet animal model. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four equal groups: Control; control Pio; high sucrose diet; high sucrose diet Pio treated groups. Fourteen … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 23 Apr 2014 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXERCISE TRAINING REVERSES THE DELETERIOUS EFFECT OF SUCROSE INTAKE ON INSULIN RESISTANCE AND VISCERAL FAT MASS DEPOSITION ON MICEJulio Cesar Mendes Soares, Vanderlei Folmer, Gustavo Puntel, João B.T. Da RochaAbnormal fat deposition has been identified as an important mechanism of obesity-associated with insulin resistance. Literature data also indicate that exercise can improve insulin action. The heme pathway enzyme δ-Aminolevulinate Dehydratase (δ-ALA-D) is a good marker for oxidative stress and this sulfhydryl enzyme is inhibited in such oxidative pathologies diabetes.
