Liver response to low-hexachlorobenzene exposure in protein- or energy-restricted rats
(1991-12-01)
The individual effects of protein deficiency and energy restriction on liver response to low-hexachlorobenzene (HCB) exposure were investigated in adult male Wistar rats. In rats fed either the low-protein or control diet, ...
Pulmonary and hepatic lesions caused by the dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloid-producing plants Crotalaria juncea and Crotalaria retusa in donkeys
(2013-09-01)
The effects and susceptibility of donkeys to Crotalaria juncea and Crotalaria retusa poisoning were determined at high and low doses. Seeds of C. juncea containing 0.074% of dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids (DHPAs) ...
Noninvasive serum markers in the diagnosis of structural liver damage in chronic hepatitis C virus infection
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-11-01)
Aim: Several noninvasive markers are being used to assess the structural liver damage in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). We evaluated the capacity of serum hyaluronic acid (HA), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/ALT ...
Localization of EP24.15, a major liver kininase
(Histochemical Soc Inc, 2003-01-01)
The liver is important for the kallikrein-kinin system modulation. This system plays a role in the inflammatory cascade with anticoagulant, profibrinolytic, and anti-adhesive attributes. The metalloendopeptidase EP24.15 ...
Morphological aspects of the liver of the Podocnemis expansa (Testudines, podocnemididae)
(2012-11-05)
The liver of P. expansa was characterized morphohistologically. To this end, twenty livers from clinically healthy male and female Podocnemis expansa, weighing from 2.0 to 4,5 kg, supplied by the commercial breeder Fazenda ...
Liver Anatomy, Histochemistry, and Ultrastructure of Eupemphix nattereri (Anura: Leiuperidae) During the Breeding Season
(Zoological Soc Japan, 2012-12-01)
The arrangement of the hepatic tissue is directly related to physiological characteristics of animals, such as ectothermy, diet, and reproductive status. Here, we describe the anatomy, histology, and ultrastructure of the ...
The role of mitochondria and biotransformation in abamectin-induced cytotoxicity in isolated rat hepatocytes
(2013-03-01)
Abamectin (ABA), which belongs to the family of avermectins, is used as a parasiticide; however, ABA poisoning can impair liver function. In a previous study using isolated rat liver mitochondria, we observed that ABA ...
Can trifluoperazine protect mitochondria against reactive oxygen species-induced damage?
(1996-12-01)
Trifluoperazine (TFP) (35 μM) prevents mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨ) collapse and swelling induced by 10 μM Ca2+ plus oxyradicals generated from δ-aminolevulinic acid autoxidation. In contrast with EGTA, TFP ...
