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 کاملPrognostic value of serum gamma-glutamyl transferase activity after myocardial infarction.
AIMS Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase activity (gamma-GT) is able to catalyse low-density lipoprotein oxidation and has been detected in coronary atherosclerotic plaques. gamma-GT has been documented as an independent risk factor for cardiac mortality in middle-aged men. The purpose of this study is to determine the prognostic value of gamma-GT in patients with coronary artery disease. METHOD...
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 ...
