Two important liver enzymes are called alanine transaminase (ALT; also called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, or SGPT) and aspartate transaminase (AST; also called serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, or SGOT). ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)

Moreover, the levels of two liver enzymes called alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were markedly elevated; these enzyme levels tend to soar with various types of liver disorders, including viral infections and liver damage caused by a number of drugs. ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)

That is, if the donor’s blood revealed an elevated level of a liver enzyme called alanine transaminase ALT or was positive for the hepatitis B core antibody, there was a chance that this donor was in fact infected with hepatitis C, and that the use of his blood might lead to the transmission of HCV. ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)

Elevation of circulating amino acids such as alanine and BCAAs has been recognized as a marker of protein overfeeding and is often associated with an insulin resistant state, for instance, in obese individuals ❋ Yasushi Noguchi Et Al. (2010)
