In the United States, elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity in the absence of viral hepatitis or excessive alcohol consumption is most commonly attributed to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is related to predictors of coronary heart disease (CHD) such as insulin resi

The determination of serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) is a critical tool in the diagnosis and follow up of patients with liver disease. We were interested in the recent article by Piton et al., 1 which identified factors associated with ALT variability from a cohort of 1,033 blood donors a
## Abstract The effects of dietary deficiencies of zinc and essential fatty acids (EFAs) or both on aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were investigated in young growing rats. Four groups of albino rats were fed diets deficient in either EFA (4% hydrogenated coconut
## BACKGROUND. Malignant pleural mesothelioma is associated in up to 70% of cases with an elevated content of hyaluronan (HYA) in the pleural fluid. Increased levels of circulating HYA have also been described. The clinical course of the disease can be followed by computed tomography (CT), althoug
## Abstract ## Background The prevalence of buildingβrelated symptoms (BRS) is commonly used to characterize the indoor air quality in office buildings. To analyze the costs of building renovation and the improvement of the indoor environment, it is useful to quantitatively relate the prevalence o
