Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, triglycerides, and enzyme induction. 1975

P J Martin, and J V Martin, and D M Goldberg

A study conducted on 109 consecutive patients submitted for routine lipid and lipoprotein screening has shown a significant positive association between serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) activity and the serum triglyceride concentration and between serum gamma-GT activity and the serum pre-beta-lipoprotein concentration. We suggest that these associations may reflect hepatic microsomal enzyme induction in hyperlipidaemic subjects which increases the hepatic content of the rate-limiting enzyme(s) for triglyceride synthesis.

D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
