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 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 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...
متن کاملGamma Glutamyl Transferase Activity (Ggt) In Albino Rats
The use of orphenadol as a wide spectrum painkiller (analgesics) has been reported to elicit some toxic effects. This research examined the hepatobiliary effect of orphenadol solution on hepatobiliary system in albino rats. Twenty male albino rats, distributed into four groups (A, B, C and D), with five rats in each group, were used in this research. Groups A, B and C were given oral treatment ...
متن کاملJejunal mucosal gamma glutamyl transferase activity in coeliac disease.
In view of data suggesting that deficiency of gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) may be the primary abnormality in the small-intestinal mucosa of patients with coeliac disease, this enzyme was measured in mucosal biopsies from coeliac patients at different stages of treatment. Activity was only slightly reduced in only one of nine well-treated patients, suggesting that deficiency of this enzyme h...
