A gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) test measures the amount of GGT in the blood. (medlineplus.gov)
Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found in cell membranes of many tissues mainly in the liver, kidney, and pancreas. (medscape.com)
The aim of this study was to test the clinical application of serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) concentration and the ratio of serum GGT to aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in differentiating BA from neonatal hepatitis (NH). (nih.gov)
Elevated levels of serum liver transaminases are good indicators of liver cell damage, and elevated serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) level is a good indicator of both bile duct and hepatocellular damage. (springeropen.com)
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) are clinically important liver enzymes of concerned. (springeropen.com)
Moreover, this perturbed composition exhibited stratification with disease severity concordant with elevated concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and blood markers such as C reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyl transferase. (bmj.com)
One advantage of the Healthy-Iron proprietary panel called FeGGT LifePro™ is that it includes Gamma Glutamyl transferase (GGT), a liver enzyme that can provide information about your body's antioxidant defenses. (irondisorders.org)
Exercise without gamma-glutamyl transferase rats and steroid or SARM without any can contribute to more specific goals. (theroxor.com)
On March 6, a routine blood chemistry screen showed elevations of total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl-transferase, serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase, and lactate dehydrogenase. (cdc.gov)
Alanine aminotransferase2
To estimate and compare associations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) with incident diabetes. (diabetesjournals.org)
In large epidemiological studies, NAFLD and liver fat content (a continuum) are commonly revealed by elevations in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and ultrasonography. (diabetesjournals.org)
Enzyme1
The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-glutamyl group from gamma-glutamyl peptides, such as glutathione to an acceptor such as peptides and L-amino acids. (medscape.com)
Glutamyl2
The gamma-carboxymide groups of peptide-bound glutamine residues act as acyl donors, and the 6-amino-groups of protein- and peptide-bound lysine residues act as acceptors, to give intra- and inter-molecular N(6)-(5-glutamyl)lysine cross-links. (expasy.org)
Ethanol-induced HepG2/CYP2E1 cells were treated with the compounds at various concentrations, and the results showed that there was a dose-dependent decrease of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity and increase of glutathione (GSH) in the culture media with an increase in cell viability.

Protein1
We investigated 39 MD patients to assess the plasma concentration of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and related them to clinical severity scores. (unipi.it)
Carbohydrate2
Main outcome measures Scores on alcohol use disorders identification test and measures of γ-glutamyltransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, per cent carbohydrate deficient transferrin, and erythrocyte mean cell volume. (bmj.com)
Results A significant correlation was observed be alcohol consumption and score on the alcohol use disorders identification test (Pearson's correlation coefficient r = 0.74) and measures of γ-glutamyltransferase (r = 0.20) and per cent carbohydrate deficient transferrin (r = 0.36) but not aspartate aminotransferase (r = 0.08) or erythrocyte mean cell volume (r = 0.02).
