Elevated Aminotransferase Activity as an Indication of Muscular Dystrophy: Case Reports and Review of the Literature by S Zamora, C Adams, JD Butzner, H Machida, Rb Scott

“…Paradoxically, the increase in ALT activity was greater than that of serum aspartate aminotransferase (three to 16 times normal), an enzyme whose elevation is generally recognized as being less specific and indicative of muscle, cardiac, kidney, pancreatic, red blood cell or hepatic injury. At presentation to the gastrointestinal service, one case, age 2.5 months, had no symptoms or signs of neuromuscular dysfunction, while the other four had previously unrecognized hypertrophy of the calves, proximal limb weakness, positive Gower’s sign or delayed gross motor skills. …”

Postharvest Analysis of Lowland Transgenic Tomato Fruits Harboring hpRNAi-ACO1 Construct by Bita Behboodian, Zainon Mohd Ali, Ismanizan Ismail, Zamri Zainal

“…Results showed that transgenic lines harboring the hpRNA-ACO1 construct had lower ethylene production and a longer shelf life of 32 days as compared to 10 days for wild-type fruits. Changes in cell wall degrading enzyme activities were also investigated in cases where the transgenic fruits exhibited reduced rates of firmness loss, which can be associated with a decrease in pectin methylesterase (PME) and polygalacturonase (PG) activities. …”
