Association With Serum Gamma-Glutamyltransferase Levels and Alcohol Consumption on Stroke and Coronary Artery Disease
Background and Purpose—Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption is associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, whereas high serum -glutamyltransferase (GGT) level is associated with cardiovascular disease. However, whether light-to-moderate alcohol drinking is still related to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease irrespective of GGT level is uncertain. Methods—We performed a 12.5-ye...
متن کاملCoffee consumption and decreased serum gamma-glutamyltransferase and aminotransferase activities among male alcohol drinkers.
BACKGROUND Attention has long been drawn to the potentially harmful effects of coffee on health, however recent epidemiological studies have suggested unexpected, possibly beneficial effects of coffee against the occurrence of alcoholic liver cirrhosis and upon serum liver enzyme levels. METHODS We examined the potential inverse association between coffee drinking and serum concentrations of ...
متن کاملAlcohol consumption, serum gamma-glutamyltransferase levels, and coronary risk factors in a middle-aged occupational population.
The relationships between alcohol consumption, serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels, and the prevalence of major coronary risk factors were analyzed cross-sectionally in 2,399 male and 1,402 female middle-aged workers, to clarify the effects of moderate alcohol consumption on the development of the metabolic syndrome. Male moderate drinkers, consuming less than 60 ml of alcohol per day,...
متن کاملSerum Gamma-Glutamyltransferase as a Risk Factor of Ischemic Stroke Might Be Independent of Alcohol Consumption
Response We are not surprised by the very sensible question from Achard et al as to why selective AT1 receptor antagonists were not used in our experiments reported in Stroke.1 The reason for this decision is academically somewhat disappointing while unfortunately very relevant in the current era, with an increased awareness of the real value of intellectual property. Our request for losartan t...
