Changes in Alanine Aminotransferase/Aspartate Aminotransferase Ratio Are Associated with Changes in Insulin Resistance in Japanese Community-Dwelling Middle-Aged and Elderly Women
Liver marker {e.g., alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)} levels independently predict insulin resistance. The aim of the present study is to examine how changes in liver markers are associated with changes in insulin resistance after exercise in Japanese community-dwelling adults. The participants were 76 women aged 67 ± 6 years from a rural village. Nordic walk ...
متن کاملUnusually high alanine aminotransferase to aspartate aminotransferase ratio in a patient with cyproterone-induced icteric hepatitis.
A 70-year-old man with prostatic adenocarcinoma received cyproterone acetate 200 mg per day. Three months later, mild fatigue and anorexia with elevation of the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level to 1311 U/L, total bilirubin level to 14 mg/dL and prothrombin time of 15/11.9 seconds developed. At that time the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level was only 82 U/L. Viral hepatitis and autoimmu...
متن کاملAlanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase ratio reversal and prolonged prothrombin time: a specific indicator of hepatic cirrhosis.
BACKGROUND Both ALT/AST ratio reversal (AST/ALT > 1) and prolonged prothrombin time are separately related to hepatic cirrhosis. Ratio reversal means that in normal individuals ALT is more than AST and thus ALT/AST > 1 but with development of cirrhosis AST becomes > ALT and so AST/ALT > 1 or ALT/AST < 1. This study was conducted with the idea that prolonged prothrombin time and reversed (AST/AL...
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 کاملCorrelation of serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase with coronary heart disease.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the relationship between different risk factors (especially serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) and coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS A total of 610 inpatients were recruited. Initial coronary angiography (CAG) was performed to evaluate the severity of coronary lesions. On the basis of findings from CAG, patients...
