ALT and especially AST are synthesized in skeletal and cardiac muscle, Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase in kidneys, Alkaline Phosphatase in bones and intestinal epithelial cells. Increases in ALT and AST levels are proportional to the level of cell damage in the body, and therefore, they are biochemical markers that are important in the progression of the damage or in the follow-up of the healing process.

In addition, it is the most valid protein that increases after exercise as the most important marker of muscle damage. An increase in the serum CC level indicates that the membrane surrounding the muscle cell is ruptured or its permeability is increased.

In general, it was stated that serum CC level started to rise after exercise, reached its highest level after 24 hours and continued for 48 hours.'}, {'measure': 'Lactate dehydrogenase', 'timeFrame': 'Four days', 'description': 'Another enzyme used to assess muscle damage is lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate in anaerobic glycolysis.

The increase in CRP in muscle damage and inflammation that occurs after exercise begins within 6-8 hours and reaches its peak levels within 24-48 hours.
