Glossary Alanine Aminotransferase

enzyme indicating liver health, also known as ALT

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), also known as Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase (SGPT), is an enzyme primarily found in the liver. It plays a crucial role in converting alanine, an amino acid, into pyruvate, which is essential for energy production. Elevated levels of ALT in the blood can indicate liver damage or disease, making it a valuable marker in diagnosing liver conditions.

research [Visual field defect in a patient given sodium valporate then carbamazepine: possible effect of aminotransferase inhibition].

1 citations , April 2002 in “PubMed”

This case report documents a young woman who experienced a visual field defect similar to those linked to vigabatrin use, despite treatment only with valproic acid and carbamazepine, suggestive of a possible metabolic vulnerability in certain patients with specific genetic backgrounds.

research The retarded hair growth ( rhg ) mutation in mice is an allele of ornithine aminotransferase ( Oat )

9 citations , January 2014 in “Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports”

This study discovered that a specific G to C mutation in the ornithine aminotransferase gene is linked to the retarded hair growth phenotype in mice and may serve as a model for human gyrate atrophy.

research Variations in alanine aminotransferase levels within the normal range predict metabolic and androgenic phenotypes in women of reproductive age

8 citations , October 2010 in “Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation”

This study found that normal ALT levels in women of reproductive age are linked with metabolic and androgenic abnormalities, suggesting ALT could be used beyond liver disease diagnoses.

research Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with elevated alanine aminotransferase in patients receiving asunaprevir plus daclatasvir combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C

2 citations , July 2019 in “PLOS ONE”

This study found that the CYP3A4 rs4646437 genotype was significantly associated with ALT elevation in Japanese patients undergoing asunaprevir plus daclatasvir therapy for chronic HCV infection, suggesting genotyping may help in monitoring patients safely.

research RETRACTED: Ascertaining the Influence of Lacto-Fermentation on Changes in Bovine Colostrum Amino and Fatty Acid Profiles

2 citations , October 2023 in “Animals”

Lacto-fermentation changes amino acid profiles in bovine colostrum, but results are inconsistent.
