Physical Functionality/ Physical Functionality 6 – Liver and Gall Bladder Function and Lung Function

 

1. **ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase):** An enzyme involved in bone and liver metabolism. High levels may indicate liver or bone disorders.

​

2. **ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase):** An enzyme found in the liver that helps break down proteins. Elevated levels can indicate liver damage.

​

3. **AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase):** An enzyme found in various tissues, including the liver and heart. High levels may suggest liver or heart damage.

​

4. **Bile Secretion Function:** The process by which the liver produces bile, a substance that aids in the digestion and absorption of fats.

​

5. **Bilirubin (DBIL):** Direct bilirubin is a product of heme breakdown and is a measure of liver function. Elevated levels may indicate liver or bile duct issues.

​

6. **Detoxification, Phase I:** The first phase of liver detoxification, involving the transformation of toxins into more water-soluble compounds.

​

7. **Detoxification, Phase II, acetylation:** A specific Phase II detoxification pathway that adds an acetyl group to toxins for easier excretion.

​

8. **Detoxification, Phase II, amino acid conjugation:** A Phase II detoxification pathway where amino acids are attached to toxins to increase their solubility.

​

9. **Detoxification, Phase II, glucuronidation:** A Phase II detoxification process that adds glucuronic acid to toxins, making them more water-soluble.

​

10. **Detoxification, Phase II, glutathione conjugation:** A Phase II detoxification pathway that uses glutathione to bind toxins and facilitate their excretion.

​

11. **Detoxification, Phase II, methylation:** A Phase II detoxification pathway that involves adding a methyl group to toxins to aid in their excretion.

​

12. **Energy Production Function:** The body's ability to produce energy from nutrients, primarily through cellular respiration in the mitochondria.

​

13. **Liver Fat Content:** The amount of fat stored in the liver. Excess fat can lead to conditions like fatty liver disease.

​

14. **Protein Metabolism:** The process by which the body breaks down proteins into amino acids and then uses them for various functions such as building tissues and producing enzymes.

​

15. **Serum Globulin (A/G):** The ratio of albumin to globulin in the blood, which can provide insights into liver function and the immune system.

​

16. **Serum Total Bile Acid (TBA):** A measure of bile acid levels in the blood, which can indicate liver function and bile acid metabolism.

​

17. **Total Bilirubin (TBIL):** A measure of total bilirubin in the blood, including both direct and indirect forms. High levels may indicate liver issues.

​

18. **Detoxification, Phase II, sulfation:** A Phase II detoxification pathway that involves adding a sulfate group to toxins to increase their solubility.

​

19. **Airway Resistance RAM:** The resistance to airflow within the respiratory system. High resistance can lead to breathing difficulties.

​

20. **Arterial Oxygen Content PaCO2:** The level of oxygen in the arteries, measured as partial pressure of oxygen. It is a key indicator of respiratory function.

​

21. **Total Lung Capacity TLC:** The maximum volume of air the lungs can hold. It is a measure of lung health and function.

​

22. **Vital Capacity VC:** The maximum amount of air a person can exhale after a maximum inhalation. It is a measure of lung health and function.
