ALANINE [alanine], organic compound, one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in animal proteins.
Alanine is not essential to the human diet, since it can be synthesized from other cellular metabolites.

 GGT1 - gamma-glutamyltransferase 1
The brush border enzymes (gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase and leucine arylamidase) were not changed in a relevant manner in female rats, while in 250 ppm males the excreted activity of ALP and LAP from week 1 to week 18, and that of GGT during the entire study period were significantly lower than the control values.
Normal GGT activity was observed in all nine amniotic fluid samples from pregnancies with fetuses affected with different forms of inborn errors of metabolism diseases, in the two pregnancies with hemophilia A and in the pregnancy with a male fetus with fragile X syndrome.
The plasma activity of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and cholinesterase (CE) was assayed in 79 patients with opisthorchiasis in its active and chronic periods, as well in different periods after anthelminthic therapy with biltricide and azinox.

Alanine amino transferase increase from 12.0 ± 1.1 of control to 62.0 ± 6.0 at the third month with gasoline, also from 12+ 1.1 of control to 29.7 + 5.6 in the third month with kerosene and from 12.0 ± 1.1 of control to 27.
Glutathione transferase (GST) was marginally increase in gasoline treated rats from 13.0 ± 0.8 µ/l of control to 17.0 ± 1.0 u/l however, greater elevation in level of the enzyme was obtained in kerosene treated rats from 13.0 ± 0.8 µ/l  of control to 25.2 ± 2.0 µ/l at the third month.
The aim of the current study therefore, is to study the biochemical changes that occurs in the serum (enzymelevels) and liver of albino rats exposed to petroleum samples (gasoline, kerosene and crude petroleum (bonny light).

 arsenic poisoning in Bangladesh/India
Alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST) activities and reduced glutathione (GSH) level in liver and blood were analyzed in the different series of mice at six different fixation intervals.
Assay of two enzyme protocols, viz., determination of AST and ALT activity and estimation of the level of an effective toxicity marker compound, glutathione, in reduced form (GSH), were made.
This compound plays a protective role by detoxifying substances in one of the three ways, namely, i) conjugation catalyzed by a glutathione transferase, ii) chemical reaction with a reactive metabolite to form a conjugate, or iii) donation of a proton or a hydrogen ion to reactive metabolites or free radicals, respectively [22].

 The effect of concurrent human immunodeficiency virus infection on chronic hepatitis B: a study of 150 homosexual men.
In HBeAg-seropositive subjects, concurrent HIV infection was associated with lower serum alanine transferase levels (P less than.001).
Conversely, in patients negative for HBeAg, there was a weak trend towards higher alanine transferase levels with concurrent HIV.
This study suggests that chronic hepatitis B may be less severe when accompanied by HIV infection; however, greater viral replication may make it more contagious and resistant to antiviral therapy.

 Serum Chemestry Tests
Alanine transferase (ALT), formerly known as SGPT, is present in large quantities in the cytoplasm of canine and feline hepatocytes.
This enzyme enters the blood when liver cells are damaged or destroyed and circulates for a few days.
Congenital and acquired hepatic shunts, bile duct obstruction, cholangiohepatitis, and cirrhosis increase blood ammonia levels.

 A prospective controlled crossover trial of a new heat-treated intravenous immunoglobulin.
Transient increases in serum alanine transferase occurred in five patients on Sandoglobulin/Gamimune and two patients on Alphaglobin.
However, serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA was not found during the alanine transferase (ALT) rises, and IgM antibody to hepatitis A virus (HAV) was negative afterwards.
We conclude that Alphaglobin is a safe, well tolerated and clinically efficacious treatment for patients with primary antibody deficiency.

All observed abnormalities were noted solely in the high-dose treatment group, including reduced food intake and bodyweight gains were most pronounced from Weeks 4-8 and reduced platelet counts, as seen in the early sacrificed animals, were resolved upon reduction of the dosage.
Alkaline phosphatase, alanine amino-transferase and aspartate amino-transferase activities were increased in 250 mg/kg/day males just prior to the adjustment to a 125 mg/kg/day dosage, while both high-dose females and males exhibited alanine amino-transferase activity throughout 13-week treatment.
