We investigated the usefulness of ALT in predicting low muscle strength among older patients with diabetes. Methods We included ...
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels reflect skeletal muscle volume and general performance, which are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate ALT levels as a risk factor for COPD development. This 13-year population-based ...
Alanine aminotransferase concentrations are comparatively low in the livers of pigs, horses, and ruminant animals, and high in the livers of primates, dogs, cats, and other small animal species. The serum half-life is short (about 2 to 4 hours), therefore the activity of ALT in plasma...
Multimorbidity has posed a major challenge to health care systems worldwide, but little is known about its association with biological factors. This study represents the first one to examine the association of serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (AL
Alanine Aminotransferase or Alanine Transaminase (ALT) This is also known asserum glutamic pyruvate transaminase(SGPT).ALTis produced in the cells of the liver. The level is abnormally raised when these cells have been inflamed or have died. The ALT leaks out of the cells into the bloodstream ...
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to ALT ratio (AST/ALT ratio) have been shown to be related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or insulin resistance, which was associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is unclear whether ALT and AST/ALT rati...

Alanine Transaminase (ALT), also known as serum alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) or pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), facilitates the conversion of alanine and a-ketoglutarate to pyruvate and glutamate. ALT plays an important role in gluconeogenesis and amino acid metabolism. ALT is found mainly in the ...
ALT may leak into the blood stream and the ALT levels are significantly elevated. Therefore, determination of serum ALT level has great clinical and diagnostic significance. Amplite™ Colorimetric Alanine Aminotransferase Assay Kit provides a quick and sensitive method for the measurement of ALT in ...
AlanineAminotransferase(ALT) (EC 2.6.1.2), formerly serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), is considered specific for liver, andplasma levelsserve as a good indicator of hepatocyteinjury(Boyd, 1983). However, in rabbits there are also high ALT concentrations incardiac muscle(Hoffm...
