Doctors can diagnose fatty liver disease, now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), using blood tests that measure serum liver enzyme levels. Elevated enzyme levels ...

Having persistently high liver enzyme levels present in early adulthood is a strong predictor of type 2 diabetes risk. Learn ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Routine blood tests are increasingly detecting elevated liver enzymes, which may signal liver stress or damage. While mild increases can be harmless, persistently high or rapidly rising levels, ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

Imagine trying to bake a cake without heat. You’ve got all the ingredients like flour, eggs and sugar, but nothing is happening. That’s what your body would be like without enzymes: potential but no ...
