Progression of liver fibrosis in blood donors infected with hepatitis C virus
(2004-12-01)
Background/Aims. Chronic hepatitis by HCV is progressive towards cirrhosis, with variable rate. We evaluated the rate of fibrosis progression (RFP), risk factors associated with advanced fibrosis (F3 and F4), and estimated ...
Trisulfate Disaccharide Decreases Calcium Overload and Protects Liver Injury Secondary to Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion
(Public Library Science, 2016)
Background Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) causes tissue damage and intracellular calcium levels are a factor of cell death. Sodium calcium exchanger (NCX) regulates calcium extrusion and Trisulfated Disaccharide (TD) acts ...
Optimized cutoffs improve performance of the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index for predicting significant liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus co-infection
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008-04-01)
Aim: To assess the diagnostic value of modified cutoffs for aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) to predict significant liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) ...
Mate attenuates DNA damage and carcinogenesis induced by diethylnitrosamine and thermal injury in rat esophagus
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2009-07-01)
Drinking hot mate has been associated with risk for esophageal cancer in South America. Thus. the aims of this study were to evaluate the modifying effects of mate intake on DNA damage and esophageal carcinogenesis induced ...
Fasting, adrenalectomy, and gluconeogenesis in the chicken and a carnivorous bird
(1978-12-01)
Previous studies showed that livers from carnivorous birds have a higher gluconeogenic capacity and higher levels of gluconeogenic enzymes than livers from granivorous birds. In this work we compare the effects of fasting ...
Investigation of liver tissue and biochemical parameters of adult wistar rats treated with Arctium lappa L.
(Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2019)
Liver Re-Transplantation: Internal Validation of a Predictive Mathematical Model of Survival
(H G E Update Medical Publishing S A, 2012-06-01)
Background/Aims: Because of the worse results from re-transplantation, a model for determining the long-term survival has been previously developed. Its effectiveness had to be tested and validated, as proposed in this ...
Effects of swim training on liver carcinogenesis in male Wistar rats fed a low-fat or high-fat diet
(Canadian Science Publishing, Nrc Research Press, 2012-12-01)
The present study aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of swim training on the promotion-progression stages of rat liver carcinogenesis. Male Wistar rats were submitted to chemically induced liver carcinogenesis and ...
Protective effects of Ginkgo biloba against rat liver carcinogenesis
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-05-09)
Ginkgo biloba (EGb) has been proposed as a promising candidate for cancer chemoprevention and has shown protective effects on the liver against chemically induced oxidative injury and fibrosis. The potential beneficial ...
