Alanine Aminotransferase Levels in Blood Donors

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1987
Excerpt To the editor: Friedman and coworkers (1) have addressed an issue of concern to blood bankers regarding the approach to the blood donor with isolated or intermittent elevations of alanine a...

Development of an electrochemical immunosensor for alanine aminotransferase

Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2003
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) has been regarded as one of the most sensitive indicators of hepatocellular damage. While ALT is widely used in the practice of medicine, few attempts have been made to develop biosensors applicable to the on-site diagnosis of liver diseases.

Serum Alanine Aminotransferase and Seronegative Hepatitis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1988
Excerpt To the editor: Previous studies (1, 2) have established a direct relation between elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in donor blood and the risk for post-transfusion hepatitis.

Inactivation of alanine aminotransferase by the neurotoxin β-cyano-L-alanine

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1980
Abstract β-Cyano-L-alanine inactivates pig heart alanine aminotransferase. The nitrile and enzyme form a freely dissociable Michaelis complex which rearranges to a form of inactive enzyme. The inactivated enzyme slowly recovers activity at 25° in 100 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. The observations are consistent with a mechanism of inactivation similar

Screening of Donor Blood for Alanine Aminotransferase

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985
To the Editor.— Silverstein et al 1 advocate alanine aminotransferase (ALT) screening of donor blood because it will be cost-effective over a wide range of ALT levels. What the authors obviously did not take into consideration is that many chronic carriers of non-A, non-B hepatitis are asymptomatic with occasionally elevated ALT levels.

Cerebral Alanine Transport and Alanine Aminotransferase Reaction: Alanine as a Source of Neuronal Glutamate

Journal of Neurochemistry, 1994
Abstract: Alanine transport and the role of alanine amino‐transferase in the synthesis and consumption of glutamate were investigated in the preparation of rat brain synaptosomes. Alanine was accumulated rapidly via both the high‐and low‐affinity uptake systems.

Serum aspartate and alanine aminotransferase in filariasis

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1985
Serum aspartate aminotransferase level in filarial patients was estimated. The level was compared against the level of the same enzyme in non-filarial patients. Similarly estimated and compared was the level of serum alanine aminotransferase in the same groups of subjects.

Stability of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities.

The Journal of laboratory and clinical medicine, 1983
Because there are conflicting data regarding the effect of different temperatures and durations of storage on the stability of the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), a new study has been conducted to re-examine this important issue.

[Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1995
Alanine aminotransferase (Alt, L-alanine:2-oxoglutalate aminotransferase) is a pyridoxal enzyme which catalyses the reversible interconversion of L-alanine and 2-oxoglutalate to pyruvate and L-glutamate. The enzyme is widely distributed in various tissues from animals and even in some kind of plants.
