Cannabidiol is one of the most exciting cannabinoids â natural compounds found in cannabis â that we are aware of today. Also known as CBD, cannabidiol is transforming from a little-known molecule, to a potential breakthrough nutritional component and treatment. Cannabidiol (CBD) is found throughout the seeds, stalk and flowers of cannabis plants â including hemp and marijuana. Unlike many of the 85+ cannabinoids that we are aware of, cannabidiol occurs naturally in significant quantities in cannabis, so it is relatively easily extracted from the plant.
The hepatic function panel evaluates: 1  Alanine aminotransferase (ALT). This enzyme, found in the liver, plays a role in metabolism, the process that converts food into energy. 2  Alkaline phosphatase (ALP). This enzyme is found in the liver, bones, intestines, kidneys, and other organs. 3  Aspartate aminotransferase (AST).
Tests that evaluate liver function include several enzymes found in the heart, skeletal muscle and red blood cells in addition to the liver. The greatest concentration of alanine aminotransferase, sometimes called ALT or sometimes SGPT and aspartate aminotransferase, also called AST or SGOT occurs in the liver.
