Abstract
The raised serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity (SGPT) in viral hepatitis [human] reflects an adaptive increase in glutamic pyruvic transaminase in muscle for the increased transamination of alanine for post-absorptive glucose homeostasis. In a disease where the SGPT is elevated for 4-6 wk, muscle cannot be an indefinite source of alanine unless it could, concurrently, resynthesize alanine.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
