Background: Serum gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) concentration within its normal reference range has emerged as an important biomarker in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of different diseases in general population. Aim and Objective: The objective of the present...
Summary: Evidence has been obtained in three different cell types, by a combination of biochemical and histologic approaches, that some y-glutamyl transferase (EC 2.3.2.2) activity is associated with lysosomes. The distribution of y-glutamyl transferase in subcellular fractions of human leukocytes and...
The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) level within the normal range and incident hypertension according to drinking and obesity status in nonhypertensive individuals. We followed up 4783 normotensive adults (mean age = 44 years) who had...
Microwave ablation (MWA) is widely used to eliminate colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). However, the risk of tumor recurrence is difficult to predict due to lack of reliable clinical and biological markers. Elevation of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)
Effective and applicable predictors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are needed for the non-obese Chinese population. This study was undertaken to investigate: whether serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) was associated with incident NAFLD
Even within a normal range of concentration, serum γ-GT has been reported to be related to the presence of diabetes17, 42, 48. However, our results did not support serum γ-GT activity as a predictor of T2DM in adolescents. Several possible explanations are as follows: First, epidemiologica...

The IDP is metabolized via γ-glutaminyl cyclotransferase after reabsorption from tubular filtrate in the kidney epithelium [4]. Free IDP, partially originating from cross-linked fibrin clots, is present in the circulation at 1–5 nM/l levels and it was proposed that its concentration might be...
In this prospective study of a large community-based sample, higher serum GGT concentrations within the "normal" range were associated with greater risk of heart failure and incrementally improved prediction of heart failure risk. 展开 关键词: epidemiology heart failure risk factors oxidative stress ...
