The aspartate aminotransferase (AST) test is a blood test that looks for liver damage by checking the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (also known as aspartate transferase) in your blood. Your doctor might order this test to find out if you have liver disease or to monitor your treatment i...
it'll take a week probably of sitting at home watching T.V , reading and such- not that bad. but if you will have a very high fever- you can take any non prescriptional drug that the pharmacist will advise to lower it. More discussions about aspartate transaminase ...
A previously deposited crystal structure (PDB 5C6U [https://www.rcsb.org/structure/5C6U]) identified Rv3722c as a member of the class I family of PLP-binding proteins, also referred to as the aspartate aminotransferase family5. Despite this designation, members of the class I PLP-binding/...
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/ALT > 1) ratio...
1. Introduction Aspartate aminotransferase (AST, EC 2.6.1.1) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT, EC 2.6.1.2) are enzymes found mainly in the liver, but also found in red blood cells, heart cells, muscle tissue and other organs, such as the pancreas and kidneys. AST and ALT formerly are ...

For this reason, the doctor may look at the levels of both AST and the enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT) side by side. ALT is more concentrated in the liver, so if AST is high while ALT is normal, it can indicate a problem outside the liver. In other cases, though, having a mu...
FIGURE 8.Structure of an aspartate aminotransferase. The protein is a homodimer, with one covalently bound pyridoxal phosphate (shown in black) in each of the two subunits. The expanded view shows the cofactor in greater detail. [Adapted from Rhee, S.et al.(1997). “Refinement and comparisons...
The results suggest that high‐dose cadmium increases were dose and time‐dependent. No significant differences in AST values were observed between radiation only groups, days, or doses. However, significant dose‐related differences were observed between high‐dose cadmium and means, as well as ...
One-way ANOVA was used to determine the statistical differences between the means of the DSPP, AST and LDH concentration level in the three groups. A difference was considered significant when p 0.05). The high quantification of DSPP and AST levels in the severe and moderat...
