But if the liver is inflamed or injured, ALT is released into the bloodstream. Measuring blood levels of ALT can give doctors important information about the liver and whether a disease, inflammation, drug, or other problem is affecting it.
Potatoes are ready for harvest when the foliage first starts to die and turn yellow. Early (new) potatoes can be lifted earlier (no earlier than June ) to get the very tastiest potatoes. In this case, harvest them about a week after the potato plant flowers first appear. New potatoes only produce a couple of handfuls of potatoes per plant, so dig up the whole plant. After flowering.
Put the potatoes in the dark after they've dried in the open for a short time. Don't leave them in burlap bags or other containers where light can penetrate and start them greening. If possible, storage potatoes should have a short drying or curing period of one to two weeks after the harvest. Curing allows any slight cuts or bruises on the potatoes to heal rapidly. Keep the tubers in a dark place with temperatures around 55Â° to 60Â° F with high humidity of up to 85 or 95 percent. After a curing period, move the potatoes to a much cooler, dark place for winter storage. Experts recommend 35Â° to 40Â° F with moderate humidity and ventilation.
