∙ 9y agoTime..The liver enzymes are what breaks down various medications and detoxify the blood among many other functions, but the ones most commonly used , to hopefully answer your question are aminotransferases. They include aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT). The levels of these enzymes are routinely tested from a blood sample when trying to identify whether a person has liver disease.

What process breaks down drugs and toxins in the liver?
The process of enzymatic oxidation and glucuronidation generally accomplishes this.
What are elevated liver enzymes on dogs?
The liver is the organ that breaks down chemicals in the blood. It removes toxins, and also drugs from the body so they can be taken out of the body by the kidneys and the bladder (pee). If you have elevated liver enzymes this means that the way in which the liver is breaking down the toxins and drugs is working faster than normal.
