Induction of labor among pregnant women with high levels of total bile acid (TBA) is common among clinicians. We examined, if women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and TBA aeyen 40 mu mol/l have a higher risk of maternal-fetal complications, when labor is induced at 37 ...
If total bilirubin levels are high, it may indicate conditions such as liver disease (hepatitis or cirrhosis), bile duct obstruction, or increased breakdown of red blood cells (hemolysis). This can lead to symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) and may require further medical ...
Serum total cholesterol (T-CHO), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) were quantified using commercial kits (A111-1, A113-1, A110-1, respectively, Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, China). Hepatic T-CHO and TG contents were extracted from liver samples...
High-parity sows had fewer total embryos and alive embryos, lower embryonic survival, and greater embryo mortality than young sows. Dietary CoQ10 supplementation increased the number of live embryos and the embryonic survival rate to levels similar to those of young sows, as well as lowering the...
Serum levels or activities of various biomarkers including GLU, INS, HDL-C, LEP, TAG, LDL-C, TC, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bile acid (TBA), albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), LDH, GC, and ADPN were measure...
Triglycerides (a type of fat) may increase cholesterol-containing plaques if levels of LDL are high and HDL is low. Total cholesterol score is the sum of HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and 20% of triglycerides as determined by a blood test. A high score indicates an increased risk of de...
Although primary inborn errors of bile acid synthesis usually manifest low serum GGT and low serum bile acid levels, the diagnosis cannot be completely ruled out before a detailed examination using gas chromatography mass spectrometry is performed. In conclusion, we reported the first case of Asian ...
Many drugs may cause elevated blood levels of AST, and ALT and some medications can cause severe damage, for example, acetaminophen (Tylenol). What Are AST and ALT (Aminotransferases)? Aminotransferases are enzymes (proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body) that are found mai...
How do nicotinic acid agents work? Nicotinic acid (also called niacin), a water-soluble B vitamin, improves blood levels of all lipoproteinswhen given in doses well above the vitamin requirement. Nicotinic acid lowers total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, andtriglyceride levels, while raising HDL cho...
Alterations in maternal metabolism can programme disease in the offspring. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is a liver disease of pregnancy that presents with increased maternal serum bile acids (BA) and dyslipidaemia. We aimed to i... G Papacleovoulou,S. Abu‐Hayyeh,E Nikolopoulou,... -...
