After evaluating the changes of several biochemical parameters in serum, the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were elevated by APAP (500 mg/kg) intraperitoneal administration (8 and 24 h) and reduced by treatment with magnolol (0.5 h after APAP administration; 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mug/kg).

At 6, 24, and 48 h after resection, samples were collected for the measurement of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBil), hepatic glycogen, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected as biomarker in blood of hepatic injury.

Indian J Exp Biol. 2008 Sep;46(9):653-9.


The results showed that significant hepatoprotective effects were obtained against liver damage induced by PCM and CCl4 as evidenced by decreased levels of serum enzymes, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), serum alkaline phosphatase (SAKP), serum bilirubin (SB) and an almost normal histological architecture of the liver of the treated groups compared to the toxin controls.

Levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), hyaluronic acid (HA), type III collagen (PCIII), and nitric oxide (NO) were assessed, and liver samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin.

METHODS: At first, 10 derivatives of bicyclol were tested in male KunMing strain mice injected with CCl (4), acetaminophen or d-galactosamine plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and mortality rate were determined.

The prior administration of bicyclol markedly suppressed AP-induced liver injury as indicated by the reduction in the elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, in liver necrosis, in the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor from mitochondria, as well as in hepatic deoxyribonucleic acid fragmentation in mice.

Differences in plasma biochemistry values included the highest uric acid, creatine kinase, and CO (2) values in stranded turtles; the highest glucose and potassium values in foraging turtles; and the highest cholesterol and triglyceride values, and lowest alanine aminotransferase, in nesting turtles.
Plasma organochlorine and polychlorinated biphenyl levels were below their limits of quantification in the 39 foraging, 11 nesting, and three stranded turtles tested.
