Liver is the largest parenchymal organ responsible for over 500 different functions in human body, which are detoxification of various toxins, drugs, synthesis of proteins and enzymes, coagulation factors. Liver is special organ, which can regenerate. If 75% of liver is removed it can regenerate to

Wilson disease (WD) is caused by a defective gene for a copper-transporting protein that regulates cellular copper homeostasis in all major organs. Copper is an essential metal ion that is required for physiological cell functions (e.g. numerous enzymes require copper as a co-factor). It often

Background: The study covers prescription narcotics and focuses on opioids and benzodiazepines (and related compounds). The use of opioids and benzodiazepines is relatively safe in the short term. However, long-term use for anxiety and chronic non cancer pain has limited scientific support.

General objectives: Evaluate the therapeutic efficacy in Mexican adults with dyslipidemia through the oral route use of L-carnitine + atorvastatin in comparison with the use of Atorvastatin, after six months of treatment. Evaluate the safety of the medicines under study. Hypothesis: The combined use

Eligibility and type of the study: This prospective randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study will be conducted after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee and obtaining written informed consent from patients scheduled for elective adult sinuscopic procedures under general

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement (Avmacol) increases the urinary excretion of the mercapturic acid of the tobacco carcinogen, benzene, in healthy volunteers who are current heavy smokers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether

Occupational exposure to pesticides is associated with higher incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) The relative risk for NHL after occupational exposure to pesticide is 1.5 to 3, with little variation according to NHL subtypes. DLBCL is one of the

Advanced age substantially increases the risk for a host of diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. A major factor that appears to underlie this increased risk with age is reduced capacity to resist oxidative injury or oxidative stress. Therefore,

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology, which usually occurs in young adults (II-IV decade of life). Epidemiological data have shown a north-south gradient of both incidence and prevalence of UC in European countries, with a higher prevalence in northern

CPFA allows an improvement of blood pressure and inflammatory response during sepsis and multiorgan failure. This extracorporeal detoxification system was developed to non-specifically remove larger mediators during systemic inflammation with an extracorporeal circuit consisting of a plasma filter,

The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR, NR1I3) is a nuclear receptor that plays a central role in hepatic detoxification of potentially toxic compounds, or xenobiotics. Chronic CAR activation by specific agonists induces tumors in wild type mice, and strongly promotes hepatocarcinogenesis in

Exposure to certain classes of chemical contaminants, including certain persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with a character of endocrine disruptors, could be one of the factors that lead to increase incidence of breast cancer in the Western world . However, the causal role of POPs in the onset of

Most cases of familial glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid deficiency are caused by mutations interrupting steroidogenesis such as 21- hydroxylase deficiency. Recently, nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) mutations were found to cause isolated glucocorticoid deficiency or combined

This study evaluates the therapeutic response by modern FMRI and PET techniques with the perspective to exploit multimodal data (fusion MRI/PET). The Sponsor would like to optimize the respective performances and to define the early assessment criteria, at the first detox, of the treatment efficacy,
