Use this case study to answer this question and the next several questions. Larry is a 52-year old man with no history of alcohol or drug abuse. He is 6’2″ tall and weighs 267 pounds. His desk job seems to monopolize his time, and he rarely finds time to exercise outside of the 1/2 mile walks his wife makes him take every evening. He definitely enjoys dining out, and he has noticed he has gained about 50 pounds over the past 10 years. He recently went in for his annual check-up with his doctor, and after drawing blood, the doctor told him that his ALT and AST were elevated. Additionally, his LDL cholesterol and Trig were elevated. Collectively, what could these elevated tests suggest about Larry’s organ function? (HINT: think of all these tests together, and not separately, as you formulate your answer)
