Artifactual depression of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase by metronidazole.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eighteen patients developed abnormally low serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase values during metronidazole therapy. Metronidazole absorbs at 340 nm, simulating reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which is the final colorimetric product of the serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase assay.

Serum activity patterns of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase following graded myocardial infarction in dogs.
Following experimental myocardial infarction in the dog elevations of serum levels of glutamie-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGO-T), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGP-T) and lactic dehydrogenase (SLID) were consistently noted in decreasing order. Evidence is presented that leakage into the serum from the damaged myocardium plays an important role in these elevations. This concept is supported by a...

متن کاملAutomated determination of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase.
A simplified and precise automated method is described for the colorimetric determination of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase. The enzymically generated oxaloacetic acid is dialyzed, coupled with Fast Ponceau L, a diazonium salt, to form a colored solution whose absorbance is measured at 455 m . Dialysis eliminates the need for a serum control determination, thereby halving the analysis ...
متن کاملSerum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase in dissecting aneurysm of the thoracic aorta.
FOR obvious reasons, separation of the entities of myocardial infarction and dissecting aneurysm of the thoracic aorta has often presented a difficult and perplexing problem in clinical medicine. With the advent of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) determination as a diagnostic measure in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, it has been suggested' that this procedure may be of h...
متن کاملLiver injury in workers exposed to dimethylformamide.
An apparent epidemic cluster of toxic liver disease was reexamined among workers exposed to the solvent dimethylformamide. A demographically similar but unexposed group from a preemployment population was used for comparison. Analysis, after data transformation of the liver transaminases, revealed significant differences between the two populations with respect to the serum glutamic pyruvic tra...
