Effects of Gallium on Bilirubin and Aminotransferases in Rats

Abstract

Background & Objective: Gallium is an element being used in medical imaging and chemotherapy and proved to be accumulated in the liver. Since no reports have been published on the effects of gallium on hepatic functions (such as bilirubin and aminotransferases), the present study tends to investigate the long-term effects of gallium on hepatic funtions and the involved mechanism.
