Then the activities of the following liver tissue injury-associated enzymes including glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) content were assayed.

After CCl4 had been administrated to induce liver injury, mice were monitored for serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and malonyldialdehyde (MDA).

Exp Toxicol Pathol. 2006 Nov;58(2-3):185-95. Epub 2006 Jul 7.


RESULTS: Hyperbilirubinemia and increased alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase (p <0.05) in rats with BDL were observed since the first day of bile obstruction in cirrhotic rats.

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is used as a model for liver injury.
Liver damage is detected by the measurement of the activities of serum enzymes like aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase which were released in to the blood from damaged cells.

Food Chem Toxicol. 2010 Mar 26.

A model of hepatotoxicity by carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)) in rats was used in order to evaluate the protective potential of the acetonic and methanolic extracts of Heterotheca inuloides.
Pretreatment with the two H. inuloides extracts attenuated the increase in the activity of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) observed in CCl (4)-induced liver injury.

Then the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tissues were detected.

The activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined with an automatic multifunction-biochemical analyzer and the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and TNF-alpha were determined following the instructions of SOD kit and TNF radioimmunoassay kit.

After 12 h of oral administration of CCl4 (4 ml/kg body weight as a 1:1 mixture of CCl4 and mineral oil) to rats, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were increased.
