  • Title: Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase serum activities in small-for-date newborns.
    Author: Zanardo V, Perini G.
    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1987; 22(4):325-30. PubMed ID: 3438090.
    Abstract:
    The aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum activities were evaluated in the first 12 hrs of life in 26 newborns small-for-gestational age, and correlated with birth weight and gestational age. We found a positive correlation between the ALT serum activity and both birth weight and gestational age of newborns small-for-gestational age. Therefore, the serum activity of neonatal ALT better reflects intrauterine fetal growth in relation to cellular enzymatic pool increase of small-for-date newborns.
