Aspartate Transaminase (AST) is also called Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT).
Alanine Transaminase (ALT) is also called Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT).
SGOT and SGPT are one of the blood tests that are most commonly performed to assess the function of the liver.

Lactate Dehydrogenase
◦ An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate
◦ Some of the organs relatively rich in LDH are the heart, kidney, liver, and muscle.
Malate Dehydrogenase
◦ Enzyme in the citric acid cycle that catalyzes the conversion of malate into oxaloacetate.

Tris Buffer
◦ Commonly known as trishydroxymethylaminomethane
◦ 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol
◦ Effective pH range between 6.5 and 9.7.
◦ An effective buffer for slightly basic solutions.

L-aspartate
◦ Classified as an acidic amino acid.
◦ Non-essential- produced from oxaloacetate by transamination.
◦ Carries reducing equivalents in the malate-aspartate shuttle, which utilizes the ready interconversion of aspartate and oxaloacetate, which is the oxidized (dehydrogenated) derivative of malic acid.

NADH
◦ in metabolism, it is used as a reducing agent that donate electrons
◦ The main role of NAD(P)+ in metabolism is the transfer of electrons from one redox reaction to another.
◦ The energy is transferred to NAD+ by reducing this to NADH, as part of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.

α-Ketoglutarate
◦ Keto acid produced by deamination of glutamate
◦ Key intermediate in the Krebs cycle, coming after isocitrate and before succinyl CoA
◦ Anaplerotic reactions can replenish the cycle at this juncture by synthesizing Alpha-ketoglutarate

They are often determined simultaneously because in diagnosing a certain condition, there maybe a single transaminase or both are elevated.
