Background: Although both ethanol consumption and overweight alter the activities of
hepatic enzymes in circulation, the differentiation of an alcohol or nonalcohol basis for such
changes remains problematic. The magnitude of alterations occurring among moderate
drinkers has remained obscure. Objective: We examined the links between moderate
ethanol consumption, body mass index (BMI; in kg/m 2), and liver enzymes. Design: Serum
alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and γ …
