Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GT) in serum originates primarily from the hepatobiliary system. Therefore GT is elevated in all forms of liver disease and has been shown to be more sensitive than alkaline phosphatase in detecting obstructive jaundice, cholangitis and cholecystitis. High levels of GT are ...
Purpose The aim of the study was to evaluate whether gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) is the marker of the cardiovascular (CV) risk assessed by the SCORE system and early arterial damage. Methods. Serum levels of γ-GT, lipid profile, inflammatory markers and plasma glucose of 209 subjects ...
GGT levels fall after meals, so you may be instructed to fast (nothing to eat or drink except water) for at least eight hours prior to the test. You may also be asked to stop drinking alcohol or taking certain prescription medications beforehand. ...
The normal newborn may have very high levels of GGT, up to 10 times the upper limit of normal for adults. Values of GGT for premature babies may be higher than those for term infants during the first weeks after birth. In comparison with other standard serum assays, that of GGT may be...
In the adult animal, high levels of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase are constitutively expressed in the kidney, intestine, and epididymis. On the other hand, although gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase is up-regulated in the liver during the ... Y Ikeda,N Taniguchi - 《Methods Enzymol》 被引量: 93发表:...
enrolled 2,067 healthy Hong Kong participants aged 6–20 years and demonstrated that high γ-GT levels were associated with components of MetS, especially obesity and high blood pressure31. Even though these striking findings support the assumption that serum γ-GT might be a potential predictor ...
The pattern of GGT levels also differed from those of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bilirubin early after transplantation, while these patterns were congruent late after transplantation. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that early after transplantation the higher the GGT...
Compared with those subjects in the first quartile of γ-GT, the MS risks in the fourth quartile increased by 2.92-fold, central obesity by 2.31-fold, high triglycerides by 3.76-fold, hypertension by 1.84-fold, and hyperglycemia by 1.63 fold. The γ-GT levels increased significantly in ...
Boophilus microplus : The pattern of bovine immunoglobulin isotype responses to high and low tick infestations Cattle present variable levels of resistance to ticks and the immune correlates of these heritable phenotypes must be known in order to develop effective v... Suely S. Kashino a,Janaína...
Although present in many different organs, GGTP is found in particularly high concentrations in the epithelial cells lining biliary ductules. 2. It is a very sensitive indicator of hepatobiliary disease but is not specific. Levels are elevated in other conditions, including renal failure, ...
