Gamma glutamyl transferase.
Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been widely used as an index of liver dysfunction and marker of alcohol intake. The last few years have seen improvements in these areas and advances in understanding of its physiological role in counteracting oxidative stress by breaking down extracellular glutathione and making its component amino acids available to the cells. Conditions that increas...
متن کاملUrinary oxalate, citrate, and gamma glutamyl transferase alterations after administration of Cynodon dactylon extract in cats
BACKGROUND: Urinary oxalate and citrate are the keyfactors in caox urolithiasis of cats and Gamma GlutamylTransferase is a good test for assessment of kidney damage.Favorable effects of Cynodon dactylon on calcium oxalate stoneformation have recently been proved in rats. OBJECTIVES: Thepresent study was designed to investigate the alteration ofurinary oxalate, citrate, and GGT after administrat...
متن کاملThe Association of Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase and Atrial Fibrillation
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice and is related to significant morbidity and mortality. AF etiology and thus, predictive biomarkers are currently lacking. Liver enzymes have shown a correlation to cardiovascular disease. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a liver enzyme associated with oxidative stress that is postulate...
متن کاملSerum gamma glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase in acute cholecystitis.
BACKGROUND The serum level of gamma glutaryl transferase and alkaline phosphatase is raised in acute calculus cholecystitis and common bile duct stone. However, the rise in serum level of these enzymes in acute cholecystitis implies stone in the common bile duct is not well studied. Thus, it may lead to retained CBD stone on one side and unnecessary CBD exploration on the other during emergency...
متن کاملNon enzymatic upregulation of tissue factor expression by gamma-glutamyl transferase in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
BACKGROUND Besides maintaining intracellular glutathione stores, gamma-glutamyltransferase(GGT) generates reactive oxygen species and activates NFkB, a redox-sensitive transcription factor key in the induction of Tissue Factor (TF) gene expression, the principal initiator of the clotting cascade. Thus, GGT might be involved in TF-mediated coagulation processes, an assumption untested insofar. ...
