Association of Serum Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase and Ferritin with the Metabolic Syndrome
Aim. To investigate the relationship among GGT, ferritin, and the risk of metabolic syndrome. Methods. A total of 1024 eligible individuals of the Chinese Yi ethnic group were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The presence of metabolic syndrome was determined using the revised NCEP-ATP III and CDS criteria. Odds ratios for the metabolic syndrome and its components for different groups bas...
متن کاملGamma 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 کاملGamma-glutamyl transferase and metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the mechanism of the reported association between serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity and cardiovascular mortality. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between serum GGT activity and the risk factors for cardiovascular disease was performed. PATIENTS AND MATERIALS Middle-aged Japanese male personnel of the Self-Defense Forces who underwent...
متن کاملGamma glutamyl transferase and metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and mortality risk: the Framingham Heart Study.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, accounting for temporal changes in known CVD risk factors and C-reactive protein (CRP). METHODS AND RESULTS In 3451 Framingham Study participants (mean age 44 years, 52% women) we examined the relations of GGT with CVD risk factors, and prospectively determined ...
