Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are the most well-known liver enzyme tests used to diagnose hepatocyte injury. Besides, these two enzymes are localized in the liver at high concentrations. AST is also present in the heart, skeletal muscle, kidneys, pancreas, brain, and red blood cells in considerable amounts. However, ALT is present in low concentrations in s...

The neural networks in the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion are modulated by neuroactive substances released locally into the neuropil of the stomatogastric ganglion and by circulating hormones released by neuroendocrine structures including the pericardial organs. Using nanoscale liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we have ide...

Overt hypothyroidism frequently leads to liver dysfunction. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is linked to abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism, however, data on liver function are lacking. We analyzed the effects of L-thyroxine (L-T4) therapy on liver function and their association with changes of serum lipoproteins in SCH as part of a prospective, double-blind study. 66 women with SCH were ...
