A 60-days feeding trial was conducted to study the effect of higher temperature (32°C) in comparison to ambient temperature (24.5°C) on different metabolic enzyme namely, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), acid phosphatase (ACP) & alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities in different tissues of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. AST activ...

The influence of anaemia on alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities in dogs infected with B. canis was investigated. Samples of blood and serum from 230 infected dogs were divided into two groups: A (with anaemia) and B (without anaemia). The differences in the activities of the enzymes between both groups were not statisticall...

We examined the kinetics of the catalytic activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST, EC 2.6.1.1) isoenzymes in serum of 28 patients with myocardial infarction who were to receive either intracoronary urokinase--reperfusion angiographically proved--or conventional therapy (control group). Cytosolic (soluble) AST (s-AST) activity in serum increased rapidly immediately after recanalization, re...

background: liver ischemic insults are important sources of liver injuries leading to production of reactive oxygen species (ros) and mediating liver cell injury. glutathione mediated mechanisms are among the most important defense mechanisms of the liver; n-acetylcysteine (nac) provides cysteine for glutathione defense mechanisms. patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of li...

In previous studies, the relationship between aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio(AST/ALT ratio) and liver disease has been evaluated. In viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease and primary biliary cirrhosis, AST/ALT ratio has been proven to be an indicator of liver cirrhosis.1-3 AST/ALT ratio was a potential value in differentiating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis from a...

This study aims to synthesize Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) using Olive leaves extract's environmentally friendly approach. UV-Visible spectroscopy has been used follow the turning of Pt +4 ions Pt0 NPs. X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigate as-synthesized NPs and its cubic face-centered structure crystallinity. The average size was 9.2 nm, calculated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). ...

Untrained healthy male volunteers were subjected to the study of the effects of physical exercise (bicycle ergometer, 150 W for 30 min) upon the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST [GOT]) isoenzymes, soluble and mitochondrial (AST-s and AST-m) with and without reactivation by the co-enzyme pyridoxal 5'phosphate (PALP) in plasma. Blood samples were drawn at the beginning and end of the...

Abbreviations: NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; NASH, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis; NAS, NAFLD activity score; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; GGT, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase; BMI, body mass index; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; CK-18, cytokeratin 18; sFas, soluble Fas; AUC, area under curve Corresponding author: Chang Wook Kim Department of Internal Medicine, Uijeongbu St. Mary’s Hospi...
