Abstract
Enzymes are used as biomarkers of specific cellular damage of some organs. This article attempts to address the most important enzymes associated with heart diseases, liver, pancreas, and neuromuscular damage and also the cellular signaling of inflammation of adipose tissue. Some of the enzymes acting as diagnostic biomarkers are lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, aldolase, carbonic anhydrase, and alpha-amylase while leptin and asprosin are key markers for adipose tissue inflammation. Evolution and limitations of using enzymes as serum biomarkers are discussed. The methods usually used to determine enzymes as biomarkers as well as their reference values are also described.
