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 ...
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 ...
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
liver function. However, AST has a broader tissue distribution than ALT and perturbations in AST levels can occur in response to diseases or injuries in multiple tissues including skeletal and heart.AST Activity Assay Kit has been used to determine the activity of aspartate aminotransferase in ...
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...

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. ...
Intraperitoneal application of a large dose of the virus resulted in death of all mice on the sixth day of acute hepatodystrophy. Agar gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the changes of isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase in blood plasma and...
Nutraceuticals in Hepatic Diseases Aspartate Aminotransferase Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), which functions to transaminateaspartate, has been commonly used as a biomarker for hepaticinjury. AST is considered a less specific marker for liver injury than ALT, due to expression from other tissues, such...
