The purification procedure, some properties and the mode of action of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) from pig heart muscle have been reported in the pre vious papers (1,2). The presence of GPT and glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) activities in the mitochondrial fraction has been reported by Rosewell (3,4), who qualitatively demonstrated the formation of glutamic acid from ƒ¿-ketoglu...

Protein hydrolysate-containing parenteral solutions have been reported to be hepatotoxic. Ten infants who were treated with a 20 percent glucose solution containing either 2.5 percent or 3.25 percent protein hydrolysate are reviewed. Their gestational ages were 30 to 40 weeks and births weights 1000 to 35000 g. Serum glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GP...

1. Urea cycle enzymes and ornithine ketoacid transaminase were extracted from rat liver using various buffer systems and different procedures for the mechanical disintegration of the cells. Of the buffers tested, phosphate and glutathipne gave optimal results, whereas significant differences were found when other extracting media were used: activities of ornithine ketoacid transaminase and orni...

The assay of serum enzymes has been used increasingly in recent years as an aid to clinical diagnosis and prognosis, but the literature contains few references to the exploitation of these laboratory tests in paediatrics. Following the development in these laboratories of assay procedures for glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase (GO-T), glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GP-T), lactate dehydrogenas...

teucrium polium is an analgesic, antidiabetic and antilipeidemic herbal medicament. the aim of this survey was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract t. polium on liver enzymes linked to liver dysfunction, serum lipids and glucose, in diabetic male rats. methods: a total of 20 sprague-dawly male rats became diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). the animals were ...
