Abstract
This study was aimed to estimate the level of specific biochemical
markers (GOT, GPT) in blood serum of individuals who are addicted
to alcohol. For this purpose, a total of 200 normal individuals in two
groups (100 each) were included; The first composed of those
individuals who are addicted to alcohol, while the other group
contained those individuals who were not drink alcohol. All
individuals were subjected to two liver markers [Glutamic oxaloacetic
transaminase (GOT) and Glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT)]
analysis. Results showed that higher (GOT) and (GPT) levels (in
significant differences) were recorded in the first group of individuals who are addicted to
alcohol as compared to other group.
Keywords: Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT), Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (GPT), Liver.
