Association between serum gamma-glutamyltransferase level and prehypertension among US adults.
BACKGROUND Higher serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels, a marker of oxidative stress, are implicated in the development and progression of hypertension; however, data from non-Caucasian ethnicities are limited. Also, currently there is little data available on the association between serum GGT level and clinically relevant blood pressure (BP) categories earlier in the disease continuum,...
متن کاملAssociation of serum gamma-glutamyltransferase and premature coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) has been introduced as a predictive factor for cardiovascular disease. In this study, we investigated the association of serum GGT and premature coronary artery disease (CAD) in candidates for coronary angiography. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled male subjects aged ≤45 years and female subjects ≤55 years who were candidates f...
متن کاملAssociation between serum gamma-glutamyltransferase and dietary factors: the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study.
BACKGROUND Diet may be involved in the strong dose-response relation of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) concentration with incident diabetes. OBJECTIVE We examined dietary correlates of serum GGT activity. DESIGN Study subjects were 3146 black and white men and women aged 17-35 y in 1985-1986. A diet history was taken at years 0 and 7. Food items were classified into alcohol; breaded, batte...
متن کاملAssociation between serum gamma-glutamyltransferase and cardiovascular mortality varies by age: the Minnesota Heart Survey.
BACKGROUND Although serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) predicted cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in prospective studies and may be useful in risk assessment, prediction in older adults was weaker in several studies. METHODS We performed a nested case-control study with 5-12-year follow-up in 137 CVD deaths and 249 controls (frequency-matched on age, sex, and examination year, age range 26-85...
متن کاملAssociation between serum gamma-glutamyltransferase activity and carotid intima-media thickness.
Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity is a marker of oxidative stress and activity is associated with cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a noninvasive predictor of atherosclerosis. We investigated the association between serum GGT activity and carotid IMT. Fifty-five persons who had normal liver function tests were consecutively enrolled. Carotid IMT was ev...
