In alloxan diabetes, serum GOT, GPT, and ceruloplasmin were significantly increased compared to normal rats, while the level of serum alkaline phosphatale was decreased. Treatment with insulin led to lowering of serum GOT, GPT, and ceruloplasmin while serum alkaline phosphatase remained low. Then lycanol or daonil were used for treatment, serum GOT, GPT, and ceruloplasmin were changes towards normalization, while ceruloplasmin returned to normal values. Serum-alkaline phosphatase increased after 7 and 14 days from treatment with oral hypolygylcaemic drugs. In dithizonized diabetic animals, the levels of serum GOT, GPT, and alkaline phosphatase were found to be higher than normal, while ceruloplasmin levels were unchanged. After treatment with insulin all serum enzyme activities were normalized.

For the evaluation of certain differences in the diminution of export proteins of the liver we examined some exactly defined groups of liver diseases with the aim of further differentiation of the pathogenetic mechanisms. We measured the activity of glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase, glutamate-pyruvate transaminase, glutamate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase and lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, the Quick value, the coagulation factors I, II, V, VII, VIII, IX and X. Clotting factors were determined by a Schnitger-Gross Coagulometer. Prothrombin, antithrombin III, plasminogen, factor VIII associated antigen and activated factor XIII were measured by immunoelectrophoresis according to Laurell. Lipoprotein electrophoresis in agarose gel was performed to evaluate changes in lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase activity. Except of the rising diminution of export proteins in the course of liver disease from acute hepatitis to cirrhosis we found also specific changes of the patterns of the plasma specific enzymes. These proteins were diminished dependent on their half life time and the inflammatory activity--measured as the height of the transaminases. Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase and factor VIII did not participate in the general diminution of the most export proteins; some details were found to explain this differing behaviour. Results are critically discussed with regard to new aspects in the biochemistry of the damaged liver cell.

Low turbidity, "clear" enzyme controls commercially produced in three concentrations and conventional human lyophilized control sera, which are more turbid, were evaluated to determine which was superior for quality control purposes. Criteria used to evaluate the controls were: 1) turbidity measurement, 2) daily assays for 30 days to estimate day-to-day precision, and 3) stability of the enzyme assay value for these controls when they were reconstituted and frozen for 0 to 30 days and 0 to 10 days with three aliquots separately prepared and frozen for 0 to 10 days for a total of 30 days. The controls were analyzed for lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, and alkaline phosphatase activities with the Perkin-Elmer KA 150 enzyme analyzer.

Normal values for 13 chemical constituents of plasma were estimated from results for 837 presumably healthy children. Ninety microliters of specimen was analyzed for lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, inorganic phosphorus, total calcium, total cholesterol, total proteins, albumin, uric acid, urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, and glucose. We used two Abbott ABA-100 Bichromatic Analyzers interfaced directly to the ABA Data Management System. For each test age- and sex-related variations were assessed and normal values were estimated for six different age groups.

In order to verify the influence of sampling time on blood constituents, populations of supposedly healthy subjects were grouped according to age, sex, deviation from their ideal weight, state of fasting or nonfasting, and time of sampling. Each fasting subject in one group underwent two samplings during the course of a morning: the first at 08.00 and the second between 09.00 and 12.00. In the second group, the first was taken at 13.00, and the second between 14.00 and 16.00. Subjects in the second group had eaten a standard meal of 700 calories at 12.00. Differences between the paired samples from a given individual are discussed with respect to the time of sampling for plasma urea, creatinine, proteins, albumin, calcium, sodium, potassium, cholesterol, uric acid, chloride ions, phosphate, bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, alkaline phosphatase, hemoglobin and erythrocyte and leukocyte counts. Variations due to the time of sampling were large for phosphorus, bilirubin, and leukocyte count.

In a multicentre, cooperative study into the treatment of extensive psoriasis with a new aromatic retinoid (Ro 10--9359) trichogram, liver function tests and the light erythema threshold were investigated. In some of the patients hair loss occurred, usually in the fifth to eighth week after a total dose of 1.9 g retinoid. In all cases this improved an average of six weeks after dose reduction or cessation of treatment. The trichogram in 27 patients showed a diffuse toxic hair loss. In 70% the effluvium was telogenic, in 22% telogen-dystrophic. GPT, GOT, alkaline phosphatase and prothrombin index showed no significant alterations during retinoid treatment. However, in individual cases there was a rise in GOT and GPT up to 80 U/l. Furthermore there was a statistical tendency in rising bilirubin levels. Finally there was no evidence for an increase in light sensitivity after three weeks of retinoid treatment. Measurement of the erythema threshold showed rather more a reduction in light sensitivity under treatment.

Treatment of rats with cefazolin in vivo significantly suppressed activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases in serum and in the liver, brain, kidney, and heart. Simultaneous administration of pyridoxal further reduced enzyme activity except in the liver, where there was no change. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate partly reversed the decreased enzyme activity in the serum, liver, and kidney, but did not return it to the amount observed in the control animals; enzyme activity remained suppressed in the brain and heart. The effect of cefazolin was dose related, but there was no sex-related difference. In contrast to its action on am-notransferase activity, cefazolin elicited no effect on alkaline phosphatase (pyridoxal-5'-phosphate hydrolase) in serum or on pyruvate carboxylase in the liver, heart, and kidney. Cefazolin exposed to the hepatic microsomal mixed-function oxidase system in vitro was partly converted into metabolites that inhibited serum alanine aminotransferase activity in vitro. The latter inhibition was reversed by the addition of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.

Sets of survey specimens having known linear interralationships were analyzed on four occasions by approximately 450 laboratories for the five enzymes lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase. The results are summarized in terms of the apparent precision and relative accuracy of various analytical systems, and some apparent problems in enzyme assays are identified. The results show that interlaboratory differences in enzyme analyses are not due primarily to differences in the way laboratorians utilize their analytical systems but rather are due to fundamental differences in the instruments and reagents supplied to the laboratorians. The attainment of interlaboratory comparability of enzyme analyses is a problem that can best be addressed by the manufacturers of instruments and reagents, rather than by individual laboratorians.

Numerous laboratory parameters were examined 235 patients with generalized psoriasis treated orally with retinoid and in 35 patients treated topically with anthralin as control. Computer evaluation of the obtained data revealed statistical trends to elevation of the total serum bilirubin level and increasing number of blood monocytes after long-term oral treatment. No other statistically significant changes of the laboratory data were found. Particularly, the liver function tests (transaminases, prothrombin and alkaline phosphatase) showed no significant alterations. Only in a few cases did the retinoid compound have an influence on the GPT and GOT levels. The reasons for this individual sensitivity to the drug remain unknown. No significant alterations were found in the control group treated topically with anthralin.
