Serum alanine aminotransferase in skeletal muscle diseases.
Although elevation of the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) following liver injury is well known, confusion exists concerning skeletal muscle injury as the cause of this rise. We reviewed the records of 16 patients who had muscle necrosis without evidence of liver disease. The patients were divided into three groups: extreme exercise, polymyositis, and seizures. All patients exhibi...
متن کاملPerformance of a reflectometric technique for serum alanine aminotransferase determinations
The Ames Seralyzer uses solid phase chemistry coupled with reflectance spectroscopy to measure levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (serum ALT). The study reported here was carried out to evaluate the performance of the Seralyzer method compared to conventional analyses carried out on a Coulter Dacos discrete random access analyser using Boehringer (BCL) reagents conforming to SCE specicati...
متن کاملAlanine Aminotransferase
An examination of the subcellular distribution of alanine aminotransferase activity in pig cardiac tissue showed that about 10% of the total activity was bound to particulate material, with the highest specific activity in the sarcosomal fraction. The soluble enzyme was obtained in a high state of purity, as indicated by sedimentation velocity, starch gel electrophoresis, and spectral analyses....
متن کاملThe association of low serum alanine aminotransferase activity with mortality in the US population.
Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, an important marker of liver injury, has been associated inconsistently with higher mortality. We evaluated whether persons with nonelevated ALT levels are the most appropriate comparison group by examining the relationships of low ALT with mortality and body composition in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In NHA...
متن کاملEffects of Carbamazepine and Valproate on Serum Aspartate Aminotransferase, Alanine Aminotransferase and Gamma - Glutamyltransferase in Children
INTRODUCTION Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases in childhood and adolescence. Carbamazepine (CBZ) and valproate (VPA) have been widely used as the first generation of antiepileptic drugs (AED). AIM The aim of the study has been to evaluate and compare the effect of CBZ and VPA monotherapy on aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-gluta...
