healthy ranges of serum alanine aminotransferase levels in iranian blood donors
aim: the healthy ranges for serum alanine aminotransferase (alt) levels are less well studied. the aim of this study was to define the upper limit of normal (uln) for serum alt levels, and to assess factors associated with serum alt activity in apparently healthy blood donors. methods: a total of 1939 blood donors were included. alt measurements were performed for all cases using the same labor...
متن کاملGender Differences in Healthy Ranges for Serum Alanine Aminotransferase Levels in Adolescence
BACKGROUND & AIMS There is a worldwide epidemic of obesity among adolescents who subsequently are at increased risk for the development of non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is the most frequently used test for screening these individuals, but no age and gender-specific upper limits of normal (ULN) based on healthy population data in children are...
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 کاملOptimization of methods for aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase.
Conditions for accurate measurement of catalytic activity of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in human serum have been reinvestigated. The basic variables (kind of buffer, buffer concentration, pH, ion effects, and the influence of pyridoxal-5-phosphate) can now be considered optimized. On this basis, the kinetic parameters of both aminotransferases were determined, i.e.,...
متن کاملOral magnesium supplementation decreases alanine aminotransferase levels in obese women.
To evaluate the effect of oral supplementation with magnesium chloride on the systemic and hepatic inflammation, 38 non-hypertensive obese women aged 30 to 65 years were allocated into groups with and without hypomagnesemia. Hypomagnesemic women drank 50 mL of 5% solution of MgCl2 equivalent to 450 mg of elemental magnesium. Low-carbohydrate diets and physical activity were indicated for women ...
