What is the by-product of amino acid catabolism in the liver?

Do liver cells contain connective tissue?
Connective tissue is made of cells, and cells do not contain other cells (if they are healthy; bacterial infection would be an exception). Cells do contain structural elements that connect them to other cells, but that is not the same thing as connective tissue.
How could the liver maintain homeostasis after a person ate a meal that resulted in large amounts of sugar entering the blood?(the person is suffering from diabetes).
Why does cirrhosis causes hyperprolactinemia?
because prolactin is metabolized by liver and kidney both;;so in case of cirhosis or kidney failure prolactin goes sky high.
How hepatic viruses have affinity towards liver cells only?
basically, the viruses have a special compounds on their surface that binds ONLY to a receptor on the liver cell, and its not found on any other cell. so that's is how a virus for hepatitis C for instance ONLY infects the liver. its frankly a receptor ligand interaction
Do muscles liver and kidneys have fat?
Muscle can contain fat. In beef, we call this "marbling" because it looks something like the streaks in marble. The liver can also contain fat. I'm not sure about the kidneys, though they're often surrounded by fat.

What enzyme is released into the blood when the liver is damaged?
When the liver is damaged, the enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is often released into the blood. Elevated levels of ALT can indicate liver injury or inflammation, making it a key marker for assessing liver health. Other enzymes, such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), may also be elevated, depending on the type and extent of liver damage.
How many perineums are in the human body?

What blood tests are performed to confirm cirrhosis of the liver?
Blood tests alone cannot "confirm" cirrhosis of the liver - final confirmation must be done by a liver biopsy. However the usual blood "indicators" of liver cirrhosis which are useful to know about (and usually all combined in a package known as "liver function blood tests") are an elevated AST and ALT (liver enzymes, which leak from hepatocytes when the cells are damaged), high bilirubin (directly correlates to how itchy you are) and high GGT, a marker for alcoholic cirrhosis.
