Dry mouth, transient rise of serum alanine aminotransferase values and sleeping disorders have been reported more frequently than in patients receiving placebo.
Elevated bilirubin, alanine transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase concentrations are indicative of hepatocellular injury.
Lactic acid and alanine were shown to be oxyand amino-propionic acids respectively; glycollic acid and glycocoll, oxyand amino-acetic acids; salicylic and benzamic acids, oxyand amino-benzoic acids.
Levels of alanine transferase were also measured and were not affected by time of dosing.
The design of the phantom assures both films and alanine dosimeters are accurately located at the same point on the depth dose curve.
The liver function tests such as aspartate transferase, alanine transferase and LDH are minimally raised.
These tissues are degraded in an orderly fashion, and release mainly alanine and glutamine into the blood.
