Gamma 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 ...
متن کاملSignificance of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity measurements in alcohol-induced hepatic injury.
Experimental evidence is presented that the determination of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity in serum is useful in the assessment of alcohol-induced liver disease and for demonstrating to patients the toxic effects of their drinking habits on the liver. Serial measurements of GGT activity in serum have also proved valuable in monitoring the progress of therapy as well as alleged abste...
متن کاملVitamin C and Chitosan Alleviate Toxic Effects of Paraquat on Some Biochemical Parameters in Hepatocytes of Common Carp
Background: Paraquat is nonselective bipyridyl herbicide that induces hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress. Vitamin C and chitosan have antioxidant as well as radical scavenger properties and show protective effects against reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present study, hepatoprotective effects of chitosan and vitamin C were evaluated in common carp exposed to paraquat. Methods: Whi...
متن کاملGamma 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 کاملAlcohol, metabolic risk and elevated serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) in Indigenous Australians
BACKGROUND The interaction between overweight/obesity and alcohol intake on liver enzyme concentrations have been demonstrated. No studies have yet examined the interaction between metabolic syndrome or multiple metabolic risk factors and alcohol intake on liver enzymes. The aim of this study was to examine if alcohol consumption modifies the effect of metabolic risk on elevated serum GGT in In...
