AST Blood Test AST Test Results 8 min read 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 ...
This work presents the development and optimisation of an amperometric biosensor for determining aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity in blood serum, using glutamate oxidase and platinum disc electrodes. AST is a key biomarker for diagnosing cardiovascular and liver diseases. The biosensor's bios...
Aminotransferase levels are of only limited value in differential diagnosis. They assist differentiation of ‘hepatocellular’ (high enzyme levels) from ‘obstructive’ jaundice (minor increase). But there are many exceptions to this ‘rule’ (seebelow), and the classification of jaundice into ...
In addition to being found in the liver, aspartate aminotransferase is also found in skeletal and heart tissue. In healthy tissue, AST is found within cells and is only present at low levels in blood serum. If the tissue is damaged, however, this enzyme leaks into the blood serum and is...
The meaning of ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE is an enzyme that promotes transfer of an amino group from glutamic acid to oxaloacetic acid and that when present in abnormally high levels in the blood is a diagnostic indication of heart attack or liver diseas

developing diabetes than the average person. The risk of developing diabetes depends on many factors, both genetic and non-genetic (nutrition, weight and exercise). The risk also depends on other relevant conditions you may have (for example hypertension, elevated blood cholesterol or lipid levels)...
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in the heart, liver, and muscle. After injury or death to cells, AST becomes elevated. This test is performed when there has been damage to the heart muscle during a heart attack as well as used to assess liver damage. ...

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Thisenzymeis present in both the cytosol and mitochondria ofliver cells, and both fractions can be separated electrophoretically. Large amounts ofASTare also present in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, as well as erythrocytes, the kidneys, and intestinal mucosal cel...
