I have read countless references to exercise's effect on elevating certain liver enzymes, and that this is sometimes mistaken for a potential liver issue. I've been searching the forums, but I only find shared wisdom, not references. I tried google, google scholar and pubmed. The only info I've come up with is from other boards (hepatitis, etc), and the study which actually showed that exercise improved liver enzymes :think:
Can anyone point me in the direction of some more specific resources? If anyone can explain why exercise raises certain enzymes, that would be great too, but...
Part of the reason I want to find resources is b/c a friend of mine had some high liver values last year. He had some bullshit, shady insurance plan and he ended up dropping about $10G on medical expenses. After repeated tests, the elevated enzymes mysteriously appeared. He had been exercising intensely throughout, but I didn't know at the time about exercise-induced elevated liver enzymes. I would just send my friend here, but there is a very good reason that I don't.
Much obliged,
