Background: Increased blood levels of alanine amino transferase (ALT, also known as SGPT; serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase) serve as a marker of liver injury by various mechanisms. Less is known about the clinical implications associated with low-normal ALT levels. Previous studies showed low ...
Liver function tests (LFT) – this includesSGPT (ALT), SGPT (ALT), Total protein, Albumin, Serum alkaline phosphate (SAP), GGT, and Serum Bilirubin. These tests indicates towards functioning of Liver and production of protein Kidney Function Tests (KFT) – This includesUrea Creatinine, Uric a...
Normal levels of ALT (SGPT)ranges from about 7-56 units/liter of serum (the liquid part of the blood), Normal levels of AST (SGOT)is about 5-40 units/liter of serum. Elevated levels of AST and ALT may signify the level of liver damage in a person. The interpretation of elevated AST...
The average blood alcohol concentration (BAC) immediately after the vapor chamber was approximately 170 mg/dl (Fig. S1C and D). In AD, astrocytes surrounding amyloid plaques become reactive, indicating neuroinflammation, a key feature of AD pathology24. Since astrocytes express ApoE, which is ...
Serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were measured enzymatically as previously described [16]. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) activity and glucose levels were determined using a liquid ALT (SGPT) reagent set (Pointe Scientific, Canton, MI, USA) and a liquid glucose (oxidase) rea...
