Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase as a Marker of Alcohol Abuse
Excessive alcohol consumption is a major cause of health problems throughout the Western world, and the need for objective clinical tools for detecting alcohol abuse in its early phase has been widely acknowledged. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a liver-derived enzyme, which has long been used as a marker of excessive alcohol consumption, but the amount of drinking needed to elevate GGT le...
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 کاملAssociation 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 کاملControversial role of gamma-glutamyl transferase activity in cisplatin nephrotoxicity.
Nephrotoxicity of chemotherapeutics is a major hindrance in the treatment of various tumors. Therefore, test systems that reflect mechanisms of human kidney toxicity are necessary, and to reduce animal testing cell culture based systems have to be developed. One cell type that is of specific interest in this regard are renal proximal tubular epithelial cells, as they reabsorb substances from hu...
