LITERATURE
analysis
-
after administration of carbon tetrachloride, allyl alcohol, D-galactosamine, lipopolysaccharide, and concanavalin A, the significant increase in the serum levels of the markers is faster in type-I arginase and ornithine carbamoyltransferase than aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. The extent of the increase at the peak is always higher in type-I arginase and ornithine carbamoyltransferase than in spartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase
biotechnology
-
HepG2 is an immortalized human hepatoma cell line that has been used for research into bioartificial liver systems. However, a low level of ammonia detoxification is its biggest drawback. Stable overexpression of arginase I and ornithine transcarbamylase in HepG2 cells improves its ammonia detoxification
