DOI: 10.1007/s40520-019-01391-4
Abstract: Background Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a liver enzyme involved in the metabolism of glutathione (GSH), a major antioxidant in humans. GGT is a risk factor for mortality in young and middle-aged individuals but this association… read more here.

Distribution of urinary gamma-glutamyltransferase activity in 40- to 74-year-old Japanese women
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Practical Laboratory Medicine"
DOI: 10.1016/j.plabm.2020.e00161
Abstract: Urinary gamma-glutamyltransferase (u-γGT) concentration (U/L) and excretion (urinary creatinine-corrected u-γGT; u-γGT/u-Cre, U/g creatinine) are useful markers for kidney disease. However, there is limited information available on u-γGT and u-γGT/u-Cre distribution in the elderly Japanese population.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-63803-0
Abstract: Diabetes is associated with cognitive impairment and greater risk for dementia, but the role of gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) in dementia has not been elucidated. We determined incident dementia including Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, analyzing data… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000000281
Abstract: Objective: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, nowadays, is considered the gold standard option for management in patients diagnosed with symptomatic cholelithiasis. Nevertheless, some patients may have coexisting choledocholithiasis, which manifests later in life with grave complications such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2018/2429160
Abstract: Background Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a biomarker of hepatic disease. Recent studies have shown that GGT may also associate with the risk of coronary artery disease. However, the underlying mechanisms of this association are still… read more here.
