The purpose of this study is to make clear a comprehensive relationship between serum transaminase activity and food intake pattern. A total of 146 young male student participated in the study.
The results of the survey were as follows:
1) The first factor (Fl) was a“animal-related food factor”. The second factor (F2) was considered to be a“rice versus noodles factor”. The third (F3), fourth (F4), fifth (F5) and sixth (F6) factor could not be explained simply in terms of their factor.
2) Significantly negative correlations were observed between SGOT and the factor scores of Fl (r=-0.256, p<0.01), SGPT and the factor scores of Fl (r=-0.243, p<0.01), and SGPT and factor scores of F2 (r=-0.195, p<0.05), but not between SGOT or SGPT and other factors.

The effects of large doses of vitamin C on serum alkaline phosphatase activity were examined in six young healthy volunteers. The experiment lasted 30 days. The results obtained were as follows.:
he mean basal AL-P level in the six subjects was 5.9±2.3 K-A unit. Upon administration of 1g/day of vitamin C, the values increased to the mean of 6.9±2.6 K-A unit, while after a dose of 10g/day, the mean came to 6.8±2.1 K-A unit. All the subjects showed increased AL-P serum levels relative to the control period.
