Effect of Smoking and Type of Nutrition on the Activity of Liver Alanine Aminotransferase and Aspartate Aminotransferase

A healthy diet provides the body with essential nutrition that includes fluids, macronutrients, and micronutrients and calories. The liver is one of the most important organs in the body that has the function of detoxification and cleansing, and smoking causes an additional burden for the detoxification function of the liver, which can lead to inflammation and fatty liver.

In this study, 150 people were selected who were divided into two groups of healthy people without smoking (75 people) and people with smoking with liver problems (75 people).

There was no statistical relationship between age and levels of AST and ALT liver enzymes (P> 0.05), but there was a relationship between weight and levels of liver enzymes AST and ALT. Hepatitis also increased (P <0.05). There was a statistical relationship between alcohol consumption with AST and ALT liver enzymes, ie the more alcohol consumption, the higher the amount of liver enzymes (P <0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption, rice consumption, meat consumption and water consumption (P> 0.05). Discussion and

This relationship is positive and direct, in other words, the higher the consumption of tobacco, the higher the activity of liver enzymes ALT and AST.
