Serum amylase (AMY) and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) are routine clinical markers for investigating pancreatic and hepatobiliary disorders, respectively, but are also increased in systemic deterioration following critical trauma and diseases. The present study investigated the postmortem levels
A single oral dose of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) to male rats caused histologically a sloughing of the germ cells at 6 h. On Days 1 and 2 more severe sloughing was seen, followed by atrophy and the dissociation of the germ cells from the Sertoli cells and the spermatogonia. Biochemically, there was
Biallelic mutations in SCYL1 were recently identified as causing a syndromal disorder characterized by peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar atrophy, ataxia, and recurrent episodes of liver failure. The occurrence of SCYL1 deficiency among patients with previously undetermined infantile cholestasis or
The availability of multiple teleost (bony fish) genomes is providing unprecedented opportunities to understand the diversity and function of gene duplication events using comparative genomics. Here we examine multiple paralogous genes of γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) in several distantly related
In previous studies we showed that hydronephrotic atrophy develops only in the first weeks after stable partial ureteral obstruction, and does not progress thereafter. Relief of obstruction only in the "destructive phase" and not in the later "steady-state phase" seems to improve or prevent
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the general Korean adult population.
METHODS
The study involved a nationally representative Korean population from the 2010 to 2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of
OBJECTIVE
Microvillous inclusion disease (MVID) is a cause of intractable diarrhea in infancy. In its classic form, the disease is characterized by a severe persistent watery diarrhea starting within the first days of life. Parenteral nutrition and small bowel transplantation are the only known
Toxicity in cattle by the shrub Nolletia gariepina was induced experimentally by intraruminal administration of 3 g/kg dried, milled plant material as a single dose. The animals had to be starved for 24 hours before dosing, as dosing on a full rumen did not induce any signs of toxicity during 5 days
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinico-pathology and haemato-biochemistry alterations in buffaloes inoculated with Pasteurella multocida type B:2 immunogen outer membrane protein via subcutaneous and oral routes. Nine buffalo heifers were divided equally into 3 treatment groups. Group
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline drug used for cancer treatment. However, its treatment is contiguous with toxic effects. We examined the nephroprotective potential of A. hydaspica polyphenol-rich ethyl acetate extract (AHE) against DOX persuaded nephrotoxicity. 36 male Sprague Dawley
This study analyzed factors related to allograft fibrosis in clinically stable pediatric liver transplantation patients. Pediatric patients who underwent liver transplantation from January 1997 to January 2008 and further underwent 10-year protocol biopsies were examined. Grades of inflammation and
BACKGROUND
Several studies have suggested the efficacy of baclofen in reducing alcohol consumption, leading to a temporary recommendation for use in France.
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to report our experience in using baclofen in alcohol-dependant patients with or without liver
Inborn defects of cholesterol biosynthesis are a group of metabolic disorders presenting with mental retardation and multiple congenital anomalies (MCA/MR syndromes). Functional and structural liver involvement has been reported as a rare (2.5-6%) complication of the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome
Palicourea marcgravii is the most important toxic plant in Brazil due to its acute toxicity (sudden death), palatability, cumulative effect and broad geographical distribution. The study aimed to evaluate the resistance between cattle of different breeds by experimental intoxication of Palicourea
BACKGROUND
Fourteen horses at a boarding stable in Virginia were diagnosed with hepatic disease and locally grown hay was implicated as the cause.
OBJECTIVE
Panicum dichotomiflorum, the predominant grass species in the hay, is hepatotoxic to horses.
METHODS
Naturally occurring cases were adult
