However, clinical chemical parameters like aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) and bilirubin levels in the blood, being non-specific biomarkers of organ injury, were already elevated in the reference group 1 of cows whose biopsies did not reveal typical features of hepatic lipidosis but that were admitted to the veterinary hospital for other disorders (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene ABCB7 and fatty liver disease.
