Department of Community Medicine, Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Japan.

Fifty-four untreated, mildly hypertensive men who were civil servants and were aged 30-59 years reduced their alcohol consumption as much as possible for three weeks. Then blood pressure and serum gamma GTP decreased significantly, but Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity of the red blood cell membrane did not change significantly. The enzyme activity in twenty subjects (45.5% of total subjects) increased and that in twenty-four subjects (54.5%) decreased or was unchanged. No significant relationship between the ratio of the change of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity and that of blood pressure or serum gamma GTP was observed.

D005723 gamma-Glutamyltransferase An enzyme, sometimes called GGT, with a key role in the synthesis and degradation of GLUTATHIONE; (GSH, a tripeptide that protects cells from many toxins). It catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-glutamyl moiety to an acceptor amino acid.

D000254 Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.
