..49%, P = 0.039). Measuring serum ferritin levels during antiviral therapy in HCV patients who had an early virological response may assist in predicting sustained virological response...

..In the present study we characterize GMD after intragastric instillation of either ethanol or hydrochloric acid (HCL), 3 and 21 days after the surgical procedure...

..Drugs administered to treat hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia could lead to a variety of changes in the hepatic oxidative, anti-oxidative milieu...

..In conclusion, gentamicin administration to rats with chronic BDL causes impairment of renal function. This happens only after the occurrence of simultaneous multiple insults to the renal protective mechanisms...

..Drugs administered to treat various aspects of the metabolic syndrome could have hepatic effects. An increase in HIC in rats with NAFLD could be associated with increased hepatic fibrosis...

..In Japanese patients, transmission probably occurs in younger family members while, in non-Japanese patients, transmission probably occurs at an older age, after contact with an HCV-infected spouse...

..The etiology of osteopenia in cholestatic liver disease is uncertain. An animal model is needed in order to study the efficacy of therapeutic agents...

..We concluded that rats with experimental portal hypertension do not have increased damage when induced by either acetic acid or iodoacetamide...

..PGE(2) probably has no role in splanchnic hemodynamic changes during evolution of portal hypertension. Pulmonary PGE(2) generation may increase as a response to increased portal pressure, or to abdominal surgery...

..We aimed to demonstrate the involvement of 5-HT(1A) receptors in the therapeutic effect of cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive constituent of Cannabis sativa, in a model of hepatic encephalopathy induced by bile-duct ligation (BDL) in mice...

..Changes in tissue levels of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), an endocannabinoid, during the evolution of bile duct ligation (BDL) may indicate that endocannabinoids have a role in the hemodynamic changes that occur in this condition...

..These results thus suggest that PAF, LTB4, and LTC4 may have a role in the pathogenesis of duodenal ulcer, and therefore their modulation may have therapeutic benefits...

..CONCLUSION: Reduction of HIC after induction of liver damage may have beneficial effects in BDL rats. However, iron deficiency could induce impairment of liver function and may make the liver more susceptible to insults like BDL...

..The effect of intermittent administration of human parathyroid hormone (hPTH) 1-34 on bone mass and architecture in bile duct-ligated (BDL) rats was studied...

..Colonic cytomegalovirus reactivation rarely occurs in adults without inflammatory bowel disease or a known immunosuppressive state...

..On the basis of a literature review, we constructed an algorithm that includes instructions on how to handle women with PHT during the various stages of pregnancy and labor...

..To find possible association between liver enzymes and mortality in older people...

..Drug effects, including adverse reactions, may depend on genetics and environment. We investigated liver enzymes in relation to statin treatment in a northeast Jerusalem Jewish community...

..These findings indicate local and differential expression of SAA in human colon cancer tissues and suggest its role in colonic tumorigenesis...

..A combination of antiviral and antioxidative therapies may enhance the overall response rate of these patients...

..In conclusions, Helicobacter pylori colonizes heterotopic gastric mucosa with Meckel's diverticulum, but probably has a minor role in the complications of Meckel's diverticulum...
