Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) levels in diabetes mellitus.
The activities of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in 72 Libyan diabetic patients were determined. The respective mean values were 24 +/- 1.1 U/L and 23.03 +/- 0.87 U/L. Significant correlations were found between the activities of GOT or GPT and fasting blood glucose, age, body mass index, heart rate and blood pressure levels. The mean values of GOT and GPT in diabetic patients with secondary complications were significantly higher than those without complications. On the other hand, patients with family history of diabetes have higher mean values of GOT and GPT when compared with those without diabetes in the family.
