Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase or ALT is an enzyme found primarily in the liver but also to a lesser degree, the heart and other tissues. It is useful in diagnosing liver function more so than SGOT levels. Decreased SGPT in combination with increased cholesterol levels is seen in cases of a congested liver. We also see increased levels in mononucleosis, alcoholism, liver damage, kidney infection, chemical pollutants or myocardial infarction.
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because 1 and 5 are its only positive integer factors, whereas 6 is composite because it has the divisors 2 and 3 in addition to 1 and 6.
A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 that can only be divided equally by itself and 1. In other words, prime numbers have only themselves and 1 as factors. Any number may be made by multiplying two or more other numbers together. The numbers you multiply together are called factors of the final number. For prime numbers, their only factors are themselves and 1. Letâs take a look at the numbers 1 through 10 as examples: 1  1: not a prime number by definition. 2  2: can only be divided by 2 and 1, so 2 is prime.
