    GlossaryLiver Enzymes

    proteins in the liver that facilitate biochemical reactions

    Liver enzymes, also known as hepatic enzymes, are proteins produced by the liver that catalyze various biochemical reactions essential for liver function and overall metabolism. Common liver enzymes include alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), which are often measured in blood tests to assess liver health and diagnose liver conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis. Elevated levels of these enzymes can indicate liver damage or inflammation.

      Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.
