Serum D-glutamyl transferase following myocardial infarction.

چکیده

D-glutamyl transferase (GMT) activity was measured in 49 patients with proven myocardial infarction. Twenty-three patients had normal GMT activity and 26 had increased GMT activity. Most of the patients with increased GMT had evidence of liver dysfunction and it is suggested that any increases in serum GMT activity following myocardial infarction are a result of secondary liver damage rather than a release of GMT from cardiac tissue.

Serum enzyme determinations in the diagnosis and assessment of myocardial infarction.

DIAGNOSTIC ENZYMOLOGY has grown exponentially since elevated serum amylase was first associated with pancreatitis in 19081 and Karmen, Wroblewski, LaDue, and their associates demonstrated in 1954 that SGOT* and LDH activity in serum increased following myocardial infarction.2 Following Markert's elucidation of the nature of LDH isoenzymes3 their importance in differential diagnosis was emphasiz...

Prognostic 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...

Serum peptidases in myocardial infarction.

The activities of three peptidases, glycyl peptidase, y-glutamyl transpeptidase, and leucine aminopeptidase, were determined at regular intervals in the sera of 5I patients with myocardial infarction. The activity of glycyl peptidase rose significantly on the second or third day after infarction, while significant increase in y-glutamyl transpeptidase and leucine aminopeptidase occurred by the ...

Routine "cardiac" and "hepatic" serum enzyme profiles in cardiac-transplant patients treated with cyclosporine A: operative and post-operative findings.

We report representative serum enzyme changes after cardiac transplantation in 20 patients receiving post-transplant therapy with cyclosporine. In general, the changes resembled those after acute myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass surgery, but were more prolonged. Cardiac biopsy or episodes of cardiac rejection did not usually alter serum enzyme activities. Cyclosporine A toxicity ...
