Cationic aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart was completely destroyed by heating to 75’ for 20 min in the purification procedure of Jenkins, Yphantis, and Sizer (11). Chromatography of the partially purified enzyme preparation on carboxymethyl cellulose according to the method of Henson and Cleland (8) yielded two enzyme fractions both of which migrated toward the anode upon starch gel el...

Heart tissue injury may release cardiac enzymes into the circulation and elevate serum enzyme levels (LaDue, Wroblewski, and Karmen, 1954). Many enzymes become raised, but three enzymesaspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27)-have proved of particular diagnostic value. In addition, determination of lactate dehydrogenase isoen...

A stable activity which transfers the amino group from glutamate to prephenate was extracted from 4-day old etiolated shoots of sorghum. The activity was retained on DEAE cellulose and eluted as a single peak. Prephenate aminotransferase co-eluted with a very abundant alpha-ketoglutarate: aspartate aminotransferase, but heating at 70 degrees C resulted in loss of alpha-ketoglutarate: aspartate ...

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are frequently prescribed drug group in human and veterinary medicine. However, diclofenac, a traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, related to cardiotoxicity is reported, and blood cardiac damage markers may increase within the first hours after damage. The aim of the current research was to determine the effect of diclofenac on the blood cardiac ...

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...

Aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) activities in sera from nine healthy individuals were monitored during two weeks, both with and without first supplementing the serum with pyridoxal phosphate. Pyridoxal phosphate supplementation caused a mean increase of 39% (range, 33-55%) in measured activity. The biological variability during the two-week period was independent of pyridoxal phosphate ...

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between eosinophil differential count and total protein alkaline phosphatase levels in patients with normal high of aspartate aminotransferase from a polyclinic district Villa El Salvador Lima, Peru. Materials methods: An observational, analytical correlational study conducted apparently healthy male female aged 18 years or older, showing enzyme aminotrans...
