1 Effect of leptin administration on membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase activity in ethanol-induced experimental liver toxicity. Ethanol leptin Mus musculus
2 We have explored the effect of leptin on hepatic marker enzyme and membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatases in ethanol-induced liver toxicity in mice. Ethanol leptin Mus musculus
3 Ethanol feeding to mice significantly (P < 0.05) elevated the plasma leptin, alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and hepatic lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH), and plasma and hepatic total ATPases, Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase. Ethanol leptin Mus musculus
4 Leptin injections to ethanol-fed animals further elevated the levels of hepatic LOOH, plasma and hepatic total ATPases, Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase, while the Ca(2)-ATPase and GSH were decreased significantly. Ethanol leptin Mus musculus
5 In addition, leptin administration was found to increase the plasma levels of leptin, ALT, ALP, GGT, Na(+) and inorganic phosphorous, and decrease the levels of K(+) and Ca(2+) in ethanol-fed mice. Ethanol leptin Mus musculus
6 These findings were consistent with our histological observations, confirming that leptin enhanced liver ailments in ethanol-supplemented mice. Ethanol leptin Mus musculus
