        زمینه و هدف : با توجه به وجود ترکیبات فعال در ترب سیاه و همچنین بومی بودن این گیاه در کشور ایران، مطالعه حاضر با هدف ارزیابی تاثیر عصاره هیدروالکلی ترب سیاه بر عملکرد کبد و کلیه در موش کوچک آزمایشگاهی صورت گرفت. مواد و روش‌ها: در این مطالعه تجربی 40 موش سفيد کوچک آزمايشگاهي به طور تصادفي به چهار گروه 10 تایی: گروه کنترل و سه گروه آزمایشی (50، 100 و 150 میلی¬گرم بر میلی لیتر عصاره ترب سیاه) تقسیم شدند. در گروه های آزمایشی تزریق داخل صفاقی عصاره هیدرو الکلی ترب سیاه صورت گرفت. در روز بیست و یکم، موش¬ها بيهوش شده و سپس خون گيري انجام شد. میزان نیتروژن اوره خون (BUN)، کراتینین، آلکالین فسفاتاز (ALP)، آسپارتات آمینوترانسفراز (AST)، آلانین آمینوترانسفراز (ALT)، تری گلیسیرید و کلسترول بین گروه¬ها مقایسه شد. نتایج: سطح BUN، کراتینین، ALP، AST و ALT در گروه¬های آزمایشی با گروه کنترل تفاوت معنی¬داری نداشتند (05/0P). علاوه بر این، عصاره ترب سیاه منجر به کاهش معنی دار کلسترول در هر سه دوز در مقایسه با گروه کنترل شد (05/0>P). نتیجه گیری: نتایج مطالعه حاضر حاکی از عدم سمیت کبدی و کلیوی عصاره در دوزهای مصرفی در مطالعه می باشد. همچنین می توان گفت در شرایط فیزیولوژیک، استفاده از عصاره هیدروالکلی ترب سیاه باعث کاهش پروفایل چربی می شود. کلمات کلیدی : ترب سیاه، عصاره هیدروالکلی، عملکرد کبد، عملکرد کلیه، پروفایل چربی پرونده مقاله

        2 - Comparison of L-FABP concentration in obese and lean men after one bout intensive aerobic exercise

        Introduction: Liver fatty acid binding protein (L-AFBP) is a novel biomarker of liver disease. Liver enzymes levels are higher in the obese than the lean people; however the effect of intensive aerobic exercise (IAE) on liver enzymes in the obese and the lean people not well known. Thus the aim of the present study was to comparison of L-FABP concentration in the obese and lean men after one bout IAE. Material & Methods: Nine sedentary obese men (BMI: 33.7 ± 2.1 kg/m2; ± SD) and nine sedentary lean men (BMI: 17.6 ± 1.6 kg/m2; ± SD) volunteered to participate in this study. All the subjects were performed the Bruce test as the intensive aerobic exercise. Blood samples were taken before and immediately after the IAE. Results: The results showed that alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was higher in obese group than the lean group at the baseline (P<0.05). L-AFBP decreased and ALT and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased after the IAE in the both groups (P<0.05). By comparison, the results indicated that the increase of ALT was higher in the obese group than the lean group (P<0.05); however, for L-AFBP and AST no significant differences were observed between two groups. Conclusions: One bout IAE increases AST and ALT and decreases L-AFBP in the obese men same as lean men. پرونده مقاله

        3 - Evaluation of the Efficacy of Glutathione Administration in Acetaminophen-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Experimental Rats

        One of the most common causes of acute liver failure is acetaminophen overdose. The antidote N-acetylcysteine acts by scavenging the reactive metabolite, but its therapeutic limitation necessitates the development of additional therapeutic approaches that can benefit late-presenting patients. Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant intracellular nonprotein thiol that has an important role in the regulation of many cellular physiologic functions such as redox-homeostatic buffering. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of GSH supplementation in the recovery of deteriorated liver functions in induced acute acetaminophen toxicity rats; in addition to determining its value in the preservation of DNA integrity in such toxicity. This experimental study was done on 36 albino rats which were divided into three groups (n=12 rats / group) as follows, group1: Control group, group 2: Acetaminophen (APAP) treated group, group 3: APAP and glutathione treated group. Each group was subdivided into 2 subgroups (n=6) and they were sacrificed at 12 hours and 24 hours sequentially. The extent of hepatic inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage was evaluated using histopathological study, and comet analysis, and biochemical markers (ALT, GSH, and MDA). GSH supplementation (APAP and glutathione treated group) significantly improved liver functions resulting in; a statistically significant decrease in ALT levels, reducing Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and preserving DNA integrity. GSH is a highly effective alternative in the treatment of APAP hepatotoxicity. پرونده مقاله

        Various activities in chemical stores such as production, packaging, repackaging, offloading, and storing of chemicals can emit toxic chemicals into the ambient air which may be detrimental to health. This research work aimed to determine whether or not there is hepatoxicity and nephrotoxicity in chemical storekeepers. A total of twenty male adult storekeepers of four chemical stores were used as subjects. Four male storekeepers of a garment store 1km from the chemical stores of the same market were used as control subjects. Heavy metals in the indoor air of the shops and the blood samples of the subjects were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer while an aerocet analyzer was used for the measurement of particulate matter. Kidney and liver function tests were carried out on the serum of subjects using standard analytical test kits. Concentrations of all the assayed heavy metals in the ambient air of the chemical stores and the blood samples of chemical storekeepers were significantly higher (p<0.05) than in the controls. Particulate matter concentrations in all the chemical stores increased significantly (p<0.05). Serum urea, creatinine, sodium ion, potassium ion, chloride, and bicarbonate were significantly elevated (p<0.05) in the chemical storekeepers compared to control subjects. Concentrations of serum bilirubin and liver enzymes were significantly elevated (p<0.05) while total protein and albumin concentrations were significantly decreased (p<0.05) in the majority of the chemical storekeepers compared to the control subjects. There were strong indications of renal and hepato-toxicities in the chemical storekeepers at Ariaria International Market. پرونده مقاله
