The fungus Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon is a common contaminant of maize (Zea mays L.) intended for human and animal consumption throughout the world. Culture material of F. moniliforme MRC 826, isolated from home-grown maize in an area in Transkei, southern Africa, with a high rate of human
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to observe the interventional effect of cod liver oil supplementation on re-vaccination to hepatitis B virus (HBV) among infants and young children.
METHODS
All 7-36 months old infants and young children, who had been vaccinated with obligatory HBV vaccines
Hepatic manifestations of the metabolic syndrome are related obesity, type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here we investigated how the anti-inflammatory properties of lactoferrin can protect against the onset of hepatic manifestations of the metabolic syndrome
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of fish oil in preventing tissue pathologies associated with monocrotaline (MCT) toxicity. Twenty-four weanling rats were randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) 12 to a group fed a diet containing 15% (w/w) corn oil (control)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Up to a third of NAFLD subjects are at risk for developing nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Many rodent models fail to replicate both MetS and NASH. The purpose of this study was to develop a
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of Qinggan Huoxuefang (QGHXF) on improvement of liver function and pathology in rats, and to analyze the mechanism.
METHODS
Wistar rats were divided into three groups at random: normal control group (12),micro-amount carbon tetrachloride group (CCl(4))(12) and
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has previously been shown to attenuate chloroform (CHCl3) and bromobenzene (BB) induced hepatotoxicity in the rat when a dose of 2.0 ml/kg is given 24 hr after the toxicants. However, the optimal dose of DMSO and the latest time at which DMSO can be administered and still
Exposure to environmental chemicals, including dioxins, is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus in humans. This study explored the hypothesis that in utero and lactational exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), the most toxic congener among dioxins, aggravates this disease
OBJECTIVE
To establish a model of alcoholic liver fibrosis (ALF) in rats induced by complex factors.
METHODS
Forty-seven healthy male rats were divided into three groups: normal control group (n=12), minor CCl4 group (n=12) and complex factors group (n=27). The rats in the complex factors group were
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility of using manganese-based MR imaging contrast agent EVP-ABD to detect diffuse liver disease in an established rat hepatitis model.
METHODS
Hepatitis was induced by administration of CCl(4) in corn oil vehicle to rats intraperitoneally. MR images were acquired on
OBJECTIVE
Neuromuscular blocking effects according to the severity of liver dysfunction have not been evaluated. We assessed the neuromuscular effects of mivacurium in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated rabbits with toxic hepatitis in vivo.
METHODS
We compared the dose-response relationships and
Adult female B6C3F1 mice were gavaged with 4,4'-thiobis-(6-t-butyl-m-cresol) (TBBC) in corn oil at doses of 10, 100, or 200 mg/kg daily for 14 consecutive days. There was no overt toxicity, as manifested by grossly observable behavioral changes, decreased growth rate over the exposure period, or
Alcoholic liver disease is a major cause of illness and death in the United States. In the initial stages of the disease, fat accumulation in hepatocytes leads to the development of fatty liver (steatosis), which is a reversible condition. If alcohol consumption is continued, steatosis may progress
A carcinogenesis bioassay of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a contaminant in several phenoxy herbicides, was conducted by administering TCDD by gavage to Osborne-Mendel rats and B6C3F1 mice for 104 weeks. Fifty rats and mice of each sex were given TCDD suspended in a vehicle of 9:1 corn
Bronfenmajer et al. (1966) first studied Ito cells in alcoholic hepatitis (AH) by light microscopy (LM). The number of Ito cells and the number of fat droplets were increased. Okanoue et al. (1983) found that Ito cells were reduced by LM but increased by electron microscopy (EM) in scars in AH. Ito
