Cypermethrin Rats PCV HB GGT Serum protein

We describe the preparation of a new substrate, N-gamma-L-glutamyl-5-aminoisophthalic acid dimethyl ester hydro-chloride, for the fluorometric determination of gamma-glutamyltransferase activity in serum by the "front-surface" technique. Details of the resulting method are provided. The final reaction mixture contains 4 mmol of the substrate per liter of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (100 mmo...

We evaluated the diagnostic usefulness of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) for detecting alcohol-related problems (ARP) in hospitalized patients, assessed potential differences according to gender and age, and compared this value to the other screening measures conventionally used, namely the CAGE questionnaire and standard biological markers MCV (mean corpuscular volume) and GGT (gamma...

BACKGROUND γ-Glutamyltransferase (GGT) has been linked to an increased risk of several cardiovascular outcomes; however, the relationship of GGT with sudden cardiac death (SCD) has not been investigated previously. We aimed to assess the association of GGT with risk of SCD. METHODS AND RESULTS Serum GGT activity was assessed at baseline in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease prospective cohort ...

BACKGROUND Although associations of the liver enzymes alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) and γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) are well recognized, whether they are independent of insulin resistance and which enzyme is more effective are yet to be clarified. METHODS A total of 5404 subjects aged ≥ 40 years were recruited from two urban communities in Shanghai for cross-s...

Elevated levels of c-glutamyltransferase (GGT) have been associated with elevated blood pressure (BP) and diabetes. However, the causality of these relations has not been addressed. The authors performed a crosssectional analysis (2003–2006) among 4,360 participants from the population-based Cohorte Lausannoise (CoLaus) Study (Lausanne, Switzerland). The rs2017869 variant of the c-glutamyltrans...

BACKGROUND We had previously showed that the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are prognostic factors for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. In this study we developed a prognostic model based on these three indices. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 243 patients who were initially diagnosed as mCRC between 2005 and...

The clinical importance of -glutamyltransferase (GGT) has recently been debated. Although some studies have suggested that the relaionship between GGT and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is independent of alcohol consumption, to our knowledge no studies have eported the relationship between GGT and CVD mortality in never-drinker subgroups. Since Japanese women are known to have a lower r...

Serum profiles of lipids and/or liver enzymes are established markers for the estimation of insulin resistance and diabetic risk in the non-diabetic middle-aged population. To identify prediabetic markers in young subjects, 110 young male subjects (20-29 years of age) with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were divided into two groups by median body mass index (BMI), <22.18 (n=55) and ≥22.18 (n=55...

AIM Serum γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is used as a marker of hepatic dysfunction. Recently, several studies reported that GGT is significantly associated with cardiovascular mortality and atherosclerosis. Adiponectin is known to play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis, but its physiologic role has yet to be fully determined. In this study, we investigated the relationships ...
