OBJECTIVE Low erythrocyte membrane protein sulfhydril concentrations are a risk factor for ribavirin-induced anemia. We further studied the role of oxidative stress and erythrocyte membrane alterations in ribavirin-induced anemia. METHODS The levels of thioredoxin, glutathione peroxidase, protein

Clinical studies are performed on 15 workers from the chemical and pharmaceutic plant "Stanke Dimitrov". Seven of the workers are with acute poisoning from aniline and phenylhydrazine, and eight are exposed to a chronic combined effect of a large group of organic solvents. The clinic and laboratory

BACKGROUND Previous studies by Volloch and coworkers have reported that during the expression of high levels of beta-globin mRNA in the spleen of anemic mice, they could also detect small but significant levels of an antisense (AS) globin RNA species, which they postulated might have somehow arisen

Woodchucks have been a preferred lab animal model of chronic hepatitis B viral infection. The model recapitulates the disease progression of HBV infection to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and has documented similarities in protein glycosylation with human HCC. This study examined N-glycans in serum

Silybum marianum or milk thistle (MT) is the most well-researched plant in the treatment of liver disease. The active complex of MT is a lipophilic extract from the seeds of the plant and is composed of three isomer flavonolignans (silybin, silydianin, and silychristin) collectively known as
