Extrauterine pregnancy (health) and serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (medicine)


Extrauterine pregnancy (health)


A Pregnancy that is not in the usual place and is located outside the inner lining of the uterus. A fertilized egg settles and grows in any location Other than the inner lining of the uterus. The large majority (95%) of extrauterine pregnancies occur in the Fallopian tube. However, they can occur in Other locations, such as the ovary, cervix, and abdominal cavity.





serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (medicine)


serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase -->
aspartate aminotransferase
<enzyme> An enzyme present in hepatocytes and myocytes that catalyses the reversible transfer of an amine group from l-glutamic acid to oxaloacetic acid, forming alpha-ketoglutaric acid and l-aspartic acid.

It is raised in conditions that affect the heart and liver such as viral hepatitis and myocardial infarction. Following damage to these cells, the enzyme is released into the blood where the level can be measured.

Synonym: aspartate transaminase, glutamic-aspartic transaminase, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase.

Acronym: AST, SGOT
