Rocz Akad Med Bialymst. 1995;40(1):209-12.

Abstract

The activity of cathepsin A, cathepsin D and other enzyme-markers of liver damage (ASPAT, ALAT, GGTP, LDH, AP) were measured in the serum of persons acutely intoxicated with ethanol and chronic alcoholics. Persons acutely intoxicated with ethanol had the unchanged activity of cathepsin A and cathepsin D while it increased in the chronic alcoholic serum.
