A study of the presence of Australia antigen (Au/SH) was conducted over a period of 21 weeks among volunteer plasma donors living in a prison and being monitored for serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT). A good correlation was observed between the level of SGOT and presence of Au/SH, the latter being present in 33% of donors with SGOT values higher than 101 Karmen units and in 12% of t...

Women in the second half of pregnancy, who were infected with genital mycoplasmas and who gave written informed consent, were randomly assigned to receive capsules of identical appearance containing erythromycin estolate, clindamycin hydrochloride, or a placebo for 6 weeks. Levels of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT) were determined before and during treatment by a fluorometric meth...

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...

The clinical behaviour and mean peak serum aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT) values of 106 patients admitted to a coronary care unit with acute myocardial infarction who displayed acute systolic hypertension were studied. Another 106 normotensive patients with acute myocardial infarction acted as controls. Neither group had established hypertension. The mortality rate, incidence of cardiac fail...

THE quantitative and serial changes that occur in serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) activity during the course of a myocardial infarction are well recognized. Changes in SGOT activity have been observed in other diseases such as hepatitis and pancreatitis (Wroblewski and LaDue, '955; Chinsky, Shmagranoff and Sherry, 1956) and after the administration of drugs such as chlorpromazine...

This communication concerns two patients in whom spuriously enhanced SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase; L-aspartate: 2-oxoglutarate amino-transferase, EC 2.6.1.1), as determined by the SMA 12/60 AutoAnalyzer (Technicon Corp., Tarrytown, N.Y. 10591), led to erroneous diagnoses of liver disease. This error can be avoided by checking suspect supranormal SMA 12/60 values by ultraviolet ...

Highlights: There is no correlation between the increase of SGOT and sepsis. Correlation SGPT sepsis was significant founded. Abstract: Burns trigger hypermetabolic stress reactions that cause inflammatory responses. When there a sustained or increased reaction, response can be life-threatening, such as sepsis, significantly impact hepatic metabolic function. After burns, varying degrees liver ...

Background: The sickle cell disease condition with hepatic dysfunction shows the abnormal variations in liver function tests including serum aminotransferases enzymes like glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and pyruvic (SGPT) levels were changed to discuss their significance disease. Objectives: Studied of SGOT SGPT level variation disease, Pearson’s correlation coefficient SGOT& Mate...

The acute effects of flickering light of 80 Lux intensity for thirty minutes duration, on plasma corticosterone, total serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) levels were studied in albino rats. Statistically significant increase was observed in the corticosterone, cholesterol, SGOT and SGPT, while a m...

aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT) and alkaline phosphatase in 16 adults with serum salicyclate greater than 35 mg/100 ml as a result of single-dose self-poisoning. In only one patient was the SGOT minimally increased to 44 units. This was an apparently healthy 24-year-old man with a serum salicyclate of 80 mg/100 ml four and a half hours after taking aspirin tablets; his alkaline phosphatase wa...
