Alanine Aminotransferase and Body Composition in Obese Men and Women
There is a known relationship between serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and obesity in humans, but the mechanism(s) are not clarified. This study investigated the associations between serum ALT and body composition in an overweight and obese ...

Undetectable Alanine Aminotransferase during Hospitalization [PDF]
A 58-year-old man with chronic systolic heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with bacteremia, acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure, and acute renal failure. He described poor appetite and drinking beer for several days. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)2 was 16 U/L initially but decreased until it became undetectable (

Cross-Correlated Motions in Azidolysozyme [PDF]
The changes in the local and global dynamics of azide-labelled Lysozyme compared with that of the wild type protein are quantitatively assessed for all alanine residues along the polypeptide chain. Although attaching -N$_3$ to alanine residues has been considered to be a minimally invasive change in the protein it is found that depending on the ...

Empagliflozin is associated with improvements in liver enzymes potentially consistent with reductions in liver fat: results from randomised trials including the EMPA-REG OUTCOME® trial [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis: In addition to beneficial effects on glycaemia and cardiovascular death, empagliflozin improves adiposity indices. We investigated the effect of empagliflozin on aminotransferases (correlates of liver fat) in individuals with type 2 ...
